Scene Filename Parser Improvement

[salamnkalalo]

Just started using Stash and I am loving it, but I have a slight issue with managing my file.
I am trying to parse file names into scene names and studio name in order to scrap them by name, but I found it very difficult using the Scene Filename Parser tab.

For example I have the following file /<STUDIO>/<ID> <ACTOR> - <NAME> <TAG> .<EXT> right now its impossible to select a specific studio name and also capture.
Another issue is that you can't control the outputs scene name using other captured tags, in my case I need to convert the file scene name to <STUDIO> <NAME>.

A very simple solution could be to add RE support and file filtering support. A bit like the pathParser plugin but more ergonomic to use (no need to change local config files and add and remove tags).

Would love to know your thoughts.

I would suggest generating phashes and trying to match that first before worrying about searching by name.

The filename parser is definitely not fully featured, altough there was some talk about maybe in the future incorporating the renameOnUpdate plugin (not the old renamer plugin) into a first class feature. If that happens, then there would probably be code written that could easily be re-used to improve the filename parser in the ways you suggest.

I generated phashes for all my files but a lot of them aren't present on stash-db so I resorted to using ThePornDB which dose contain them.
I'll look into renameOnUpdate hopefully its better then renamer.
Glad to know you guys are aware of the situation.

After looking a bit into renameOnUpdate it seems its can only change the filename based on the scene and not the other way around. Am I missing anything?
EDIT:
My bad I tried using pathParsernot renamer

I know it may not be an Ideal solution but I've found scrapers a much more reliable way to do this type of parsing, I think there is one in the community repo, if not I can post what I use, to use it in bulk you can use either the Tagger view or the Identify task in combination with the scraper

I tried using the ThePornDB but its very brittle because it doesn't use phashes for example adding the video ID before the name ruins the search results. any way of dealing with that?

[stg-annon]

if you use the stashdb endpoint they have that should do better at matching
