I updated to Tahoe 26.0.1 on my M1 Max Macbook tonight, and I am seeing a strange behavior now when dragging and dropping files into the file selection part of the UI. It may be the filename structure as well, because I get an error when dragging and dropping this file and others named similar to it:
xxxxxxxxxxxx (2025) - S01E09 - Name of Episode [ATVP WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 Atmos 5.1][h265]-HONE.mkv
However, when I drag and drop this file:
Show Name (2025) - S01E08 - The Real Mungers.mkv
(note: I have edited out names of shows to prevent and misunderstandings of content, but the names I have put in are formatted exactly like those I replaced.)
I cannot go back in my mac to Tahoe 26 to see if that is the reason this is happening, but I suspect it has something to do with the multiple bracketed sets of information. Any file I drop in the UI with this formatting shows an immediate error popping up for RenameMyTV Series 2 that has this info in it:
---------------------------------------------------------
Rename My TV Series
Missing Closing Character "]" in mask (offset 163)
Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Abort to kill the program.
ABORT OK
---------------------------------------------------------
(I'd show you screen shot but we've already addressed that.)
It looks like the parser is just getting confused. I pass it off to you.
Thank you.
Hey there!
I tried doing a rename with the name you suggested and that works fine (the ever same answer from any developer 😉 ).
xxxxxxxxxxxx (2025) - S01E09 - Name of Episode [ATVP WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 Atmos 5.1][h265]-HONE.mkv
Since you do get an error, I was wondering if you could post the file format string?
Or if you could try this one as a test:
%N - %SZx%EZ - %T %R
I'd rather see the format you're using of course, since the one I just mentioned works for me 😉
Note that the square brackets are used in the file format to define repeat blocks, so I can see where that may become a conflict.
Note: I'm running Tahoe 26.0.1 as well, and this is not a Tahoe related issue. So reverting back to the previous Tahoe version would not resolve this issue.
