FileBot 2.4-Rename, organize and find subtitles for your TV shows

*FileBot* is a handy file renaming tool that specializes in TV shows, anime
and other media files, which usually have long, complicated names. With
FileBot you can not only rename all those files at the same time with a
single mouse click, but also look for *subtitles* in different languages,
obtain more information about your favorite shows and movies, and also check
the *file's integrity* with SFC, MD5 or SHA1. Renaming files will help you
have your media library better organized, and also look much better on
Windows Explorer. Unfortunately FileBot is not very intuitive. The program
features a sidebar with links to its main functions (renaming, verifying,
searching for subtitles…) but there's no documentation to explain how to
use each of them. Also, the sources used by FileBot are all grayed out, which
gives you the wrong impression that they won't work. Once you get over
these initial difficulties, FileBot is actually quite an effective app. As
long as there's a small hint in the file name, it'll find the right titles
for any movies or TV shows you have on your hard drive in just a few seconds.
Bear in mind though that once you press the Rename button in FileBot,
there's no preview window or confirmation dialog. Also, if you need
subtitles, we advise you to search for them before renaming the video file;
otherwise it'll be difficult to pick the right subtitle version. *FileBot

shows and so on.*Download *FileBot 2.4* in Softonic
