Gallery naming during scan

[dbuttric]

I converted all of my folders into zip files that are more conformant to how stash works.
Is there a way to specify that my gallery names are - .zip, and have it populate the gallery metadata while it is scanning for new media?

Secondly, the gallery name in stashapp after the scan includes the .zip extension. Is there a way to remove that during the scanning process?

Further I’m now just going to take the zip files I get from downloads and place them in my Galleries folder and do a scan. But these new gallery zips are named differently - depending upon the source. Ideally, I’d like to read the filename and parse it and have a gallery created with all the metadata that can be found.

I have added two plugins: Gallery Date Parser and Filename Parser, hoping that these would be configurable in some way.

Can some help me clarify a few of my issues here, I’m sure that once I can understand a little bit, I’ll be able to take bigger leaps.

Thank you

Stsah doesn’t read embedded metadata or parse filename. Could be achieved with a complimentary script or a plugin though.

Stash doesn’t set any title to newly scanned objects. It just displays filename if no title is set. You could run a complimentary script or a plugin to post proccess them after scanning.

Not sure I understand.
