Import based on Season Folder

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5153
OS: Windows 10
Debug logs:
Description of issue: Not really an issue, but a question about importing and organization. I found that the rescan of the series folder finds new episodes as long as I have the S##E## regardless of the actual title of the show matching the series as long as it exists in the proper series and season folder. My question is why can’t Sonarr determine the season and episode based solely on the series folder, season folder and episode number? I tried to do a manual import and it recognizes the series but it doesn’t detect the season folder so I would have to manually select them all. My only other alternative is of course to rename them all.

How are the files named currently? There is some effort to read it from the season folder, but it’s not as reliable as the filename containing the season and episode numbers.

They don’t have a common naming based on where they were acquired so for example;
Super Sentai > Season 15 > [G.U.I.S.] Chojin Sentai Jetman 01 (6258FD44)
Super Sentai > Season 19 > ShoutFactoryTV Watch Super Sentai Ohranger Episode 01
Super Sentai > Season 34 > [T-N]Tensou_Sentai_Goseiger_01_HD[396F89C6]

If I do nothing more than make it S15E01, S19E01, or S34E01 then it finds them no problem. Not really a big deal was curious.
