Hi all. As the title says: when running the rename function from Win10 over my network to a Linux Mint PC (for Plexing), Windows starts to see these files as "fake folders" (is the only way I can describe the icon and lack of functionality) -- however, I've found that removing the archive bit via Win file properties will restore Win10's ability to recognise these media files a files, not archives/folders. Is this archive-flagging a function of TVRename, or is there some other Windows cross-OS issue at play here? Anyone else come across this?

Hey ,

Can you show us what the "fake folders" is before and after? If it is seen by others the we can add a feature to always remove the archive bit. But TVR does not modify file properties directly. (it can update the modified time for some files to align to the update time /aired time)
