We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Have 7 seasons of a show downloaded, but each episode is in it's own folder. What would be easiest way to restructure this to just 7 'season' folders? (alien.top)

Edit: I'm on Mac.

So basically first folder is 'S01E01' and it contains S01E01.mkv, second folder is 'S01E02' and it contains S01E02.mkv, and so on.

Is there some easy way to restructure this into just 7 'season' folders containing the episode files?

Not sure why you would want to do that. Best is to simply make a TV folder and in that a single folder of the name of the TV Show and name every episode "TVShowName S01Exx" and so on. This way when you decided to start using Plex or Emby you are already in the correct file name system.
