Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Radarr stores plenty of metadata but only exposes a limited set of tokens.
For complex collections or quality-based folder structures I currently need external scripts to add information Radarr already has.

Describe the solution you'd like

Expose the following tokens (names are suggestions):

Token	Source	Example use
`{CollectionIndex}`	TMDB “parts” order	Chronological order inside a saga
`{SortTitle}`	existing DB field	Title sorting without leading articles
`{EditionTitle}`	v5 multi-edition field	`Director's Cut`, `Ultimate Edition`, …
`{MediaInfo:VideoCodec}`	MediaInfo probe	`H.265`, `AV1`, `VC-1`, etc.
`{Quality}`	Radarr quality profile	`1080p`, `2160p`, `WEBRip`, `BluRay`
`{ReleaseGroup}`	field already used in filenames	Include encoder tag in folder names

Tokens should behave like current ones: if a value is empty, the token is simply omitted.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Prepending collection index manually to filenames — breaks automation.
External rename tools (FileBot) — adds maintenance overhead and risks losing Radarr’s path references.
Storing the info only in filenames — folder view still lacks the extra context.

Anything else?

Sonarr exposes {Season}, {Episode}, {Quality} and even MediaInfo tokens; adding parity to Radarr would bring consistency to the stack.
Please update the in-app Tokens pop-up and Wiki with clear examples once new tokens are available.

Overly broad FR
No plans for movie file properties to be part of the movie folder name.
duplicate of several GHI
