Hi Hans,
Something else I found,
Select a Folder with a TV Series that has 1 Season in it and ten episodes in the season with autodetect on.
All 10 files get a name in the left column.
Select Rename files
All files get renamed and moved to target directory , however the top of the right column is stuck on "Renaming File 9 of 10" - The season subfolder is deleted (option checked in settings) but the top folder is not deleted. Not a big deal just thought I would mention it.
And if I could add a feature request - it would be great to select a base directory in settings of where the collection of the files to be renamed is for those of us who don't put them in the program subdir. And if the folder doesn't exist then send them to the app directory.
Rename My TV Series: 2.3.2 (Build 4)
SQLite library: v.3.50.1
OS: Windows (64 bit), Windows 10.0, x86-64 (64 bit application)
Data path: E:\Program Files\Rename My TV Series\data\
Thanks,
Greg

Interesting find! And thank you for reporting. Seems 9 files went correct and the 10th one got stuck? Could this be related to access rights? (just wondering)
As for the feature request; Under macOS the last used location will be used by the OS. Is Windows ignoring that?
If so then I could add something like "last used directory" and if the directory doesn't exist keep going down a directory until the path exist, and otherwise have Windows pick whatever it would pick by default. Of course, a "default video path" could be an option as well, with the optional combination to use "last used path".
Something like that?
Note : each new version takes quite a bit of work, so I'd like to combine fixes/features as much as possible. Even fixing a small bug takes quite a bit of work. I'll definitely add this to the "to do" list 👍

Note: in the current developers build (not yet published) I've added:
- Automatically store last used directory for video imports
- Option to set a default path for video imports (overrides "last used")
Both will try to determine if the path exists, and if not, it will try to find an existing parent directory. Useful for when a temporary directory was removed but we'd like to stay in the vicinity of the original choice (last used or set default path).
Default path will always rule, if checked.
May take a bit before I release this version.
Like I said: it takes quite a bit of work to prepare a release for 4 versions (Windows, macOS, Linux GTK and QT5).
