Ok, this is weird and maybe awkward. I made a script so I could change the end of subtitles files to keep consistency. Basically it replaces A.X.str to A.Y.str. It worked flawlessly at a single folder.
I decided then to make a recursive version of it so I could do it on any folder I had, regardless if the episodes where together, separated by season or each on an individual path.
I really don't know how or why, but it sent all the files it reached to the root folder I was using until it halted raising a FileExistsError.
The code bit I'm using is:
def rewrite(folder, old, new):
for f in next(os.walk(folder))[2]:
os.rename(os.path.join(folder, f),
os.path.join(path, f.replace(old, new)))
for f in next(os.walk(folder))[1]:
x = os.path.join(folder, f)
rewrite(x, old, new)
Where 'old' is "A.X.str", 'new' is "A.Y.str" and folder is the full path of the root folder "C:\Series\Serie Name".
Why doesn't this work as recursive? The first bit of code (First FOR loop) works fine on it's own in a single folder. Is the problem with the "next" I use to get the names of files and folders?
