 - Matches your existing folder names against TMDb and renames them to `Movie Name (Year)` / `Show Name (Year)` format
 - Renames video files to match, and organizes TV episodes into `S01`, `S02`, etc. season folders
+- Detects loose movie files sitting directly in the share root (no folder of their own) and organizes them into a proper movie folder
+- Detects a duplicate show folder for a show you already have (e.g. a separately-downloaded "Show S02" folder) and merges its episodes into the existing show folder instead of creating a second one
 - Finds subtitle files, figures out which one matches your primary language (by filename, and by reading the file's content/metadata if the filename doesn't say), and renames it to match the video. Defaults to English, but follows whatever language you've set for TMDb results (see [Non-English users](#non-english-users)).
 - Optionally cleans up junk files/folders (samples, `.nfo`, `.txt`, screenshots, unwanted-language subtitles) into a local trash folder. Nothing is deleted permanently, and every cleanup can be reversed.
 - Fully customizable naming convention (`names.yaml`): change `S01` to `Season 01`, use dots instead of spaces, uppercase everything, rename the "Subs" folder to something else, etc.
