I would like to have folders with undefined names renamed with the name (without extension) of the movie (mkv, avi, mp4, etc.) each of those folders contain.
Each folder (second level of the root folder) is a sub folder of the folder "Movies" (root) somewhere on the drive.
Each folder (second level) generally contains a single movie and (or can contain) an undefined amount of files with undefined extensions.
If possible at all: If such a folder (second level) contains more movies in the same folder than one movie it shall not be renamed - besides of the other movie(s) is / are in any sub folder (third level and lower) of that folder (second level)
All of those files / sub folders in the folders (second level) shall be kept like the are, unchanged. Only the folder (second level) shall be renamed
Example:
F:\Movies\Aladin.UNCUT - unnamed Folder\.actors
F:\Movies\Aladin.UNCUT - unnamed Folder\extrafanart
F:\Movies\Aladin.UNCUT - unnamed Folder\extrathumbs
F:\Movies\Aladin.UNCUT - unnamed Folder\[b]Aladin (1986).mkv[/b]
F:\Movies\Aladin.UNCUT - unnamed Folder\fanart.jpg
F:\Movies\Aladin.UNCUT - unnamed Folder\movie.nfo
F:\Movies\Aladin.UNCUT - unnamed Folder\poster.jpg
Output (the same outputs like they are in this thread: http://www.den4b.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2321):
F:\Movies\Aladin (1986)\.actors
F:\Movies\Aladin (1986)\extrafanart
F:\Movies\Aladin (1986)\extrathumbs
F:\Movies\Aladin (1986)\Aladin (1986).mkv
F:\Movies\Aladin (1986)\fanart.jpg
F:\Movies\Aladin (1986)\movie.nfo
F:\Movies\Aladin (1986)\poster.jpg

Or, the same output of the last example above:

The following script will scan a directory, find the first file with a matching extension ("mkv", "avi", "mp4") and use its name as the new name for the scanned directory.
You just need to adjust your Filter Settings in ReNamer to add your movie folders for renaming and use the script below.
var
Files: TWideStringArray;
FileExt: WideString;
IsMovieFile: Boolean;
I: Integer;
begin
if WideDirectoryExists(FilePath) then
begin
SetLength(Files, 0);
WideScanDirForFiles(FilePath, Files, False, False, False, '');
for I := 0 to Length(Files) - 1 do
begin
FileExt := WideLowerCase(WideExtractFileExt(Files[I]));
IsMovieFile :=
(FileExt = '.mkv') or
(FileExt = '.avi') or
(FileExt = '.mp4');
if IsMovieFile then
begin
FileName := WideExtractBaseName(Files[I]);
Break;
end;
end;
end;
end.

That was extremely fast done! Thank you very much!
Works perfectly:
I have dragged the folders (second level), not the root folder "Movies", into the GUI and used these "Filter Settings":
This message appears when there might be conflicts:
And those conflicts can be avoid when the folder sorting is changed to this:
So that menas the conflicts are gone now, if I see it right. But after clicking "Rename" that message appears again, although there are no such conflicts anymore, if I understand it right. Actually I would think - like I did the first times, irritated a little bit - there are still the same and / or other conflicts because the message still appears, but it really isn't like that, I think, I hope at least.
Very many thanks again.

That warning is displayed for informational purposes when renaming folders, whether you had or didn't have conflicts. In you case, you didn't actually have any conflicts, but the warning is displayed nonetheless. If you don't want to see this warning again, just tick the box "Never show this warning".
If you had attempted to rename both the folders and their contained files/subfolders at the same time, then this warning would be of greater importance and so is the sorting order.

No, no, it is an importend warning, I assume, wouldn't want to miss it (when there are conflicts). I just was wondering why it is shown if there are not any conflicts. This warning shown although there are not any conflicts just irritates me. So actually I - having any idea of anything - would think, when there are not any conflicts (anymore) it should not be shown.
Thank you for the link. So to rename with the lessest risk it might be the best (for people like me) to not to rename in a single run but first rename the files, after the folders. It would be not cause that much more complexity.

Recent versions of ReNamer (since v6.4.0.3 Beta) can pick up these conflicts through the validation process, which is performed after every preview by default. Conflicting items will be marked by a validation warning "Parent path changed earlier in the list".
The warning dialog that you see just before renaming is shown for a legacy purpose. At this stage its purpose is to explain why such conflicts exist and to suggest how to deal with them.
You are right, the warning before renaming should not be shown if there are no conflicts detected. This will be addressed in future versions.
