Subfolder processing
Introduced in version 4.2, FoliCon can search for the media in the nested folders. You can enable this feature from the settings and also be able to set regular expression patterns to include or exclude folders.
FoliCon provides 3 default patterns :
\S+ - This pattern will include all the folders. (Enabled by default)
Season [0-9]{1,2} Episode [0-9]{1,2} - This pattern will include folders with the format
Season 01 Episode 01.S[0-9]{1,2}E[0-9]—This pattern will include folders with the format
S01E01.
You can also add your own patterns and remove or enable/disable as required.
Configure the patterns as required and click on the save button to add the patterns. Test the patterns by entering text into the test box after adding the patterns.
Click on the Enable subfolder processing checkbox to enable/disable the feature. If you only want some patterns disabled, you can do that as well.
Processing Options
Create icon for root/parent folder
When subfolder processing is active, FoliCon can also create an icon for the parent/root folder that was loaded, not just its subfolders. Toggle this option to include or exclude the root folder from icon creation.
Subfolder depth limit
Controls how many levels deep FoliCon searches for media. Set a number (e.g., 1 for only immediate subfolders, 2 for two levels deep) to restrict the scan depth. Useful for large libraries where deep folders shouldn't be processed.
Skip folders with existing icons
When enabled, FoliCon skips any folder that already has a custom icon set (i.e., already processed). This is useful for incremental runs where you only want to process newly added folders without overwriting existing icons.
