In umask notation, that would be `002`. -## Movie Files Not in Folders -* Currently, Radarr requires that each movie be in a folder. The format should be something like `./Movie Title (Year)/` to facilitate correct identification during import. Further, having the quality in the filename is also useful like `Movie Title (Year) [Quality-Resolution].ext` so that during import the correct quality will be matched. A useful tool for making these changes to your collection is [filebot](http://www.filebot.net/#download) which has paid version in both the Apple and Windows stores, but can be found for free on their [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot/files/latest/download) site.

It has both a GUI and CLI, so you can use whatever you're comfortable with. For the above example, `{ny}` expands to `Name (Year)` and `{vf}` gives the resolution like `1080p`. There is nothing to infer quality, so you can hard code that using something like `{ny} [Bluray-{vf}]` assuming you want to make your entire collection Bluray in quality. * This limitation is a known source of concern, a [feature request](http://feathub.com/Radarr/Radarr/+29) exists to enable the option to *not* use a folder for each movie and the developers have this in mind for the future. * The [[Create a Folder for Each Movie]] is a great source for making sure your file and folder structure will work great.
