Videos and ebooks are often named in this format:
[Citizen.Kane][1941][Orson Welles][BDRip][x264][1280x768][Eng].avi
It's hard to read & edit naming tool because brackets "[" and "]" is count as a part of an expression but not a character. It should be
[[][C][]] to make a order with brackets braced with ([01] [02]....).
If change the current "[ ]", which legal characters of file name to illegal character like "<>" will make read and edit a lot easier:
[<C>] = [01], [02], [03], ....

This actually sounds like a good idea - wonder how much progamming for Ghisler it would take to change that?

Why not use other characters or strings and search and replace those by "[" and "]"?
For example:
([C])
Search for: (|)
Replace with: [|]
RegEx: NO

That won't help if you rename something like [N]_([C]) and the name already contains round brackets.

That was simply an example. My suggestion is generic. Simply use something that is useful. Like:
(([C]))
(bracket-open)[C](bracket-close)

It's one of the most popular naming strategy around, especial for media files like movie, music and ebook. The "[]" separate words with different "tag". It's not only good for native eye filter, but also search-engine index optimization.

Emule and some other P2P software started using this at first. Over 80% of my movie, drama and animation name follow that format.
I think this is a little off-topic to discuss about does it really exist or not though.
