Rename the Title and the Folder for THAT changes
Add a format (also by conversion) and there is a DB entry for even that.


This is why we keep harping on 'Don't make ANY changes using the OS'
1 tiny case mismatch and it is a broken entry
I don't understand anything you have said above - can you explain what you mean? I really do want to get Smith, Linda and Smith_Linda resolved so I don't have two separate folders for the same author. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this?

NOTE: I have found the Quality Check plug-in takes care of the above, it finds duplicate author folders and consolidates them and uses the new naming convention with a comma not the underscore _.
