Template-based renaming utility
Project description
Tempren - template-based file renaming utility
tempren is a powerful file renaming utility that uses flexible template expressions to generate names for your files.
Tag templates can modify original filename, extract metadata from the files or anything in between.
A rich library of built-in tags helps with working with many common file types out-of-the-box.
Whether you need to organize your files, standardize naming conventions, or perform complex renaming tasks, tempren can help you get the job done efficiently.
Features
- Template-based filename/path generation
- Built-in Audio/Video/Images metadata extraction tags
- Ad-hoc tags to leverage external programs for metadata extraction
- Configurable, metadata-based file selection (filtering) and sorting
Installation and documentation
For comprehensive documentation, including installation instructions, all features, advanced usage, and troubleshooting, please visit the Manual page.
Examples
Note: When experimenting on your own please use --dry-run flag!
tempren will not override your files by default but invalid template can mangle their names.
