I don't like spaces in filenames, but I suppose under Good* convention it's unavoidable, so you're suggesting a template like:
$rom ($type) - $date $mnum - $author.$ext
Bad thing about putting all this information in the filename is they're very mutable. I'd rather have this data put in the file metadata.
"Mutable"?
definitions for mutable:
- capable of or tending to change in form or quality or nature
I'm not really sure what you mean, considering that all of the data is static. The only thing that changes is the actual information, which is all (again) mostly explicit data and not random user-input.
Also, I, for one, don't care about spaces in filenames (but then again I'm not being ancient and using a command line to do things in 2008)
You could always change space for underscore. There shouldn't be any coma in the filename, the server where I'm uploading some files doesn't like that.

As in, it's really blasted easy to change a filename.
Besides, you can't simply sort by movie number or author name under the filename scheme.
Then again, file metadata is not really portable between file types.
If it really bothers you, you might want to look into setting up a quick DB?

I work faster on the command line, that's the long and short of it.

That isn't the point. The point of this is to make movie filenames useful. Sorting is still applicable, as it will sort by game, then goal, then date and so on (at least alphabetically).
If you want sorting by movie number or author, use the site. This is primarily to make it so that a key input movie stores information about what the hell it is.
It completely fucking boggles my mind how such a simple concept gets so much opposition.

I'm not in opposition to this, I'm just playing devil's advocate and trying to determine what the hell it is you want. I'd actually like to see this implemented. :)
