Automatically Rename Files
This plugin for watchDirectory renames files using 2 methods:
- By replacing "old" with "new" strings.
The upper half of the window shows how Dollar- and Euro-signs are changed by a more verbose description. You can enter multiple replacement pairs in the "Old value" and "New value" edit boxes, and press the "Add" button to add them to the list of replacements. - By using Dynamic Naming to enter the final filename.
By using special {tags}, as explained on the dynamic naming page, you have complete control over the final filename.
The lower half of the window shows an example rename, based on the values you have entered.
Now press next to Configure the Directory to Monitor
