Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

For movies with multiple versions, I believe radarr expects a file structure as follows:

A preferred structure could be like this:

Where Movies is still the root folder and Awesome Movie Name (2025) is still just a Movie Folder Format of {Movie Title} ({Release Year}), but each movie version has it's own subfolder containing the associated movie file(s).

Please note that this request is not about dynamic Movie Folder names, nor is it requesting that the root folder/Movie Folder layout be changed. It is specifically about allowing subfolders to be specified during the file renaming process.

Describe the solution you'd like

The above preferred structure could be achieved during renaming by using a Standard Movie Format of {Original Title}/{Original Filename} or similar.

The Movie Folder Format would still be in the standard format of {Movie Title} ({Release Year}) when adding a movie to radarr, and then the individual file(s) would get renamed on import such that they place themselves in the appropriate subfolder by including a '/' in the filename.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Conforming to the first file structure indicated above.
Manual sorting/scripts (my current solution).

Anything else?

radarr/sonarr are some great pieces of work, much appreciated! I'd be thrilled to switch over to radarr if it had this functionality, thanks for your consideration.

Multiple video files inside of a movie folder is not supported. weird behavior will occur including data loss.

Alright, forget the multiple version scenario then. I'd still prefer a folder structure like this:

The request was to allow specifying a subfolder during renaming, like using a Standard Movie Format of {Original Title}/{Original Filename}, not limited to a multiple versions scenario.
