Siren v3.14

Midas on 2 May 2020

Siren is a file renamer which allows for batch file renaming based on expressions (kind of an extended Regular Expression syntax). Also allows for insertion of file information (file Date, ID3 tags). Includes undo/redo functions, recursive edits (directory and sub-directories),

Functional in Linux (GTK2 required).

Siren has somewhat of a learning curve, but is the workhorse of file renamers -- and now available also on Linux. Highly recommended.

The later versions do support Unicode. Siren is a real renaming workhorse, impaired only by a somewhat steep learning curve -- although, if you browse through the included examples you'll shortly find uses for it. It would only really benefit by including a Windows Help file, instead of the embedded text help...
