I want to organize my “External Hard Drive” by viewing and renaming the folders within each main folder in a more efficient way. Here’s what I’m aiming to do:

1. Upon opening the external hard drive, I have two main folders. I want to access all the contents inside these folders simultaneously. Inside each folder are 325 individual items, all of which are movies labeled in the format “Title (YEAR).”

2. Within each “Main Movie Folder,” there are four additional sub-folders to manage:

   – Folder: .actors (Contains various images related to the movie and its cast members in .jpg format)

   – Folder: extrafanart (Contains additional artwork)

   – Folder: extrathumb (Contains extra thumbnails)

   – Folder: Random Text (Needs to be renamed to “Featurettes” which contains only one .mp4 file, to be renamed as “Trailer”)

3. I am exploring ways to see all folders and sub-folders inside each main folder at once. Ideally, I want to use the “Check-box” feature in File Explorer to achieve this. My goal is to see a structured view like:

   – Folder 1: “Movie Title (YEAR)”

   – Folder 2: “.actors”

   – Folder 3: “extrafanart”

   – Folder 4: “extrathumbs”

   – Folder 5: “Featurettes”

   – Folder 6: “Movie Title (YEAR)”

   – Folder 7: “.actors” 

   – …and so on for all folders, enabling efficient selection and renaming.

4. I am seeking a method to batch select and rename the “Featurettes” folders and all contained .mp4 files at once. Alternatively, I am open to using a free program with checkbox functionality for multiple folder selection. My ultimate aim is to streamline the process of organizing the movie folders within the “G” drive by batch renaming files and folders systematically.

If a batch script can be created to automate this process, excluding unnecessary folders like “.actors,” “extrafanart,” and “extrathumbs,” while renaming the random text folder to “Featurettes,” it would significantly enhance efficiency. This approach would save me time and effort compared to manually handling each folder and file one by one.
