Need help with companion files

Post by snowfl »

Got two questions.

1. Master files always have this suffix "_s" and companion files are video files

example

Filename_s.jpg Filename.mkv



2. Master files are videos and companion files are saved frames from the video

example

Filename.mkv Filename.1653.xnf Filename.2323.xnf Filename.3434.xnf


I tried lots of combination on association list and none of them are working.

How do i accomplish these two?

Thanks

not possible, filename should match

I can reproduce - {ext} does not work as expected
  • case 1
    mastercompanion
    *{ext}.abcd
    jpg{ext}.abcd
    a.jpg
    a.111.abcd
  • case 2
    mastercompanion
    *{ext}.{ext}.xxx
    jpg{ext}.{ext}.xxx
    a.jpg
    a.111.222.xxx
