+1 for something like Thunar's bulk rename. It's the best out there, and I've
tried them all. Both powerful and intuitive and simple to use- a perfect fit
for Plasma.
If anyone wants to try it with plasma, you can add it to the right-click menu
following the instructions here:
https://cipricuslinux.blogspot.com/2016/10/kde-add-bulk-rename-in-dolphin.html
Note you will have to create the kservices5 directory if it doesn't exist.
Example usage- say I have a folder with a bunch of mp3s. There are a few
problems with the naming-
They all contain the (same) album name before the track title- I just want
track title.
They're all names in upper case - I want lower case with the correct
capitalization where appropriate.
-Select all the tracks in Dolphin, right click, select 'Bulk rename' from the
menu.
-Thunar displays a window showing all the selected files, their current name
and name as it will appear after the selected option is applied.
-I select 'remove characters' from the dropdown menu, then specify to remove
characters 0-10 (the album name) from the left of the names and hit 'rename
files'.
-I select 'Uppercase/Lowercase' from the dropdown and select 'Title Case' and
hit 'rename files'.
-If I want to add numbering to the track names, I select 'Numbering,' choose my
preferred options and click 'rename files.'
I think this is something that would be great to have built into Dolphin, and
maybe even improved a bit. It adds a lot of flexibility and power.
