Found this helpful little ditty while looking for a way to create a folder for a file just by right-clicking and it.... does just that. It puts an entry in the right-click menu when you right-click a file, any file, and creates a folder with the same name and puts the file(s) in said folder. Helpful if you have a video folder (or many) that needs to be organized.

nifty. I'll have to try it out. there's a few cases where I've been looking for something like this.
If you have grander plans (or a really large selection of legally ripped media from your own personal collection), then you might consider theRenamer:

Cypher told me about it a while back and it's pretty slick. You do some initial setup (telling it what format your folders/files should be), then you simply drag/drop your files (all at once) into the interface. it will search various databases (IMDb, etc) based on the original file name, then move/rename it to the proper folder/file in the target location you previously setup. Works for tv shows and movies. It will figure out the tv show based on the source file names, then after properly detecting it, it will auto fill in all the required information such as the episode title. If it doesn't pick something up automatically, you can tweak some of the settings to make sure it does. Case in point, it can be difficult to get it to detect Battlestar Galactica the old version vs the new one as your source filename may simply say Battlestar Galactica.
Only odd problem I ran into was on an older version, it used google to figure out some of the filenames and after so many uses, google will think you are a spammer and block any searches for a short period.

I've seen theRenamer mentioned from time to time in various places. I use FileBot for my renaming needs.

Since I started using Plex I have cared less and less about how my files are named in my media library.

Totally with ya there. As long as it indexes. But I have been running sickbeard and couchpotato and they do a good job of naming and adding the nfo and tbn files.
