Looking for app/scripts that can rename files based on type

#1 Post by starstuff »

hi everyone!

i'm looking for apps (commandline support) or scripts (bat,au3,ahk,etc) that can help in renaming files based on type (book,song,movie,etc) in windows explorer or other file managers. the idea here is to rename files directly in the file manager instead of opening an application and renaming it there.

example of renaming apps

song - tagscanner
movie - Ant Movie Catalog
book - calibre

with these (apps/scripts), we only get the functions and combine it all in one launcher.

thanks!

I think you'll find this by looking for renaming plugins for file managers.

I'm sure DropIt can help you with this.

thank you abacusFanboi and tproli,

i think my wording is wrong, basically my ultimate goal is to have a single launcher with different functions in it (functions are from different apps/scripts/commandline), you can call this launcher in windows explorer or any file manager.

starting from a file manager

instead of
select file - launcher - launch gui app - do function to file selection

i can
select file - launcher - do function to file selection

im starting with renaming files, i should have stated that im looking for apps/scripts that can fetch online metadata to rename the files without moving complete away from windows explorer.

sample for book management
best app is calibre book manager
file type are pdf, epub

i like the functionality of calibre, it can convert, rename, fetch online metadata, i dont like the way it moves every book to folders.

@abacusFanboi,

will look into renaming apps maybe there is already something like this.

@tproli
im using Dropit already, but it doesnt rename based on online metadata, maybe i can request it to Lupo
