Core requirements

• References: Project batch rename 2022 (notion.site)

Improvements

• Storing parameters for renaming using XML file / JSON / excel / database
• Last time state: When exiting the application, auto-save and load some window parameters
• Autosave & load the current working condition to prevent sudden power loss
• Save and load your work into a project.

Done

Complete

• Checking exceptions when editing rules: like characters that cannot be in the file name, the maximum length of the filename cannot exceed 255 characters
• Create a copy of all the files and move them to a selected folder rather than perform the renaming on the original file
• Using regular expressions
• Handling duplication
• Adding recursively: just specify a folder only, the application will automatically scan and add all the files inside
• Select all files and folders you want to rename.
• Save this set of rules into presets for quickly loading later if you need to reuse.
• Create a set of rules for renaming the files.
• Apply the set of rules in numerical order to each file, make them have a new name.
• Drag & Drop a file to add to the list
• Convert filename to PascalCase.
• Add counter to the end of the file.
• Change the extension to another extension (no conversion, force renaming extension).
• Convert all characters to lowercase, remove all spaces.
• Remove all space from the beginning and the ending of the filename.
• Adding a suffix to all the files.
• Adding a prefix to all the files.
• Replace certain characters into one character, like replacing - and _ into white space.
• Let the user see the preview of the result
• Dynamically load all renaming rules from external DLL files.
