xmbc friendly numbering

http://tvrename.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=205&p=869#p869

e.g. E01E02E03

New renaming tag, maybe something like {AllEps}.

XBMC people would then use "S{Season:2}{AllEps}".

See CustomName.h, and CustomName.cpp. Add the new tag, and a preset format
using this style.

put those into the filename, or deduce things like "HD" quality tags from them.

Full cache of thetvdb shows+ids

Sequential show numbering style

Sequential show numbering, rather than SxxEyy

http://tvrename.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=325&p=1213#p1213

This means that the "FindSeasEp" function will need to be enhanced to still
detect it after the renaming.

Sequential number matching currently only applies when finding missing
episodes, from the "download" folders.

Have "only recent" option (used to be in earlier versions of TVRename)

http://tvrename.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=402&p=1338#p1338

In "only recent" mode, only start looking for missing episodes starting
from the first episode you have.

e.g. If you have episodes #4,5,8, then only #7 is missing.  Currently, 1-3
would be missing as well.  Useful if you don't have complete seasons.

Relative paths / media base folder / portable settings files

Note: This will probably become more than one issue.

There has been a request to store settings file on removable media, and
have paths relative to that location.  Useful for people with portable
drives, or using TVRename from different places with different drive letter
for the same thing.

  http://tvrename.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=126 

So, there are several parts to this:
 * Settings file in non-standard locations
 * Per machine settings, and global settings.
 * Having a "base folder" definable, and all paths being stored as relative
to that.

Application exit code (command line)

Write XML to temporary file, then move into place

write new settings to temp file, then rename into place once successfully
written (and shuffle old settings up version number at that point).

* Main settings
* Statistics
* Layout
* Local thetvdb cache
* etc.

Will give much better resilience/recovery in the case of application or
computer crash.

Preferences overhaul / per-show options

Maybe re-do preferences and per-show options so that you can set
system-wide defaults in the main preferences, then optionally set overrides
for each show.

Quite a few of the options would probably benefit from this.  e.g. language
preferences, ignoring of specials season.

Delay moving of files from download folder

Don't move 'new' files from download folder, until they've been there for a
set amount of time. http://tvrename.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=497

This would be an option, defaulting to off (i.e. move immediately).

Useful for people who expect new shows to be in a particular place, or want
to allow time for them to be seeded.

Preserve suffixes, e.g. "HDTV", etc.

http://old.tvrename.com/bbold/4/t-277.html

• Need to avoid "release group" suffixes.

There is currently some logic that attempts to preserve language tags when
doing the "keep files together" thing.
