Current Behavior
When picking a movie and selecting Preview Rename-->Organize the movie file is correctly renamed using the specified naming format, but the accompanying folder.jpg file in the same folder is also renamed with the new movie name and a .metathumb extension.
Expected Behavior
Expected that only the .mkv movie file would be renamed and none of the image files (.jpg) would be renamed.
Steps To Reproduce
- Pick a movie in the library that is not properly named.
- Click the Preview Rename button
- Click the Organize button after reviewing the suggested renamed movie looks correct.
- Observe that the movie file is renamed correctly but the folder.jpg file in the same folder is also renamed with the new movie name and a .metathumb extension.
