When radarr adds a movie, it sets the root folder path at that time based on the meta. This is very problematic for upcoming movies
New movie XYZ is added to TMDb with a release of 2020 but it doesnt release until 2021 or later. TMDb will update, Radarr meta will update, the folder name will not get corrected. I proposed years ago to at least auto fix it when not using "Create empty folders" since typically by the time it is released the meta is accurate and it could create a folder with the right year but... well a unilateral decision prevented that from happening at the time.
This causes many movies to have the wrong year or even no year at all such as Movie () and screws with plex (not to mention is just wrong). This also causes problems if the movie name was added to TMDb as a generic Batman 2 and then it gets changed to Batman: Some other name as it wont pick up the right name change either.
Have a panel that scans the movie table, pulls the root folder name and then compares that name to what the movie name should be at the time of the scan. Give the option to check-all and rename.
Maybe do this in two parts. One to fix the year (much easier) and one to fix the name (has other factors to account for)
