Batch rename files with Krename

Posted on 09 Jan, 2008, categorized under Information Insemination



When I was previously recovering lost files of my home folder, I wrote scripts to automatically rename recovered files based on their meta info so that I don’t need to go through them one by one. That worked for me at that time, but I must say it was quite a tedious exercise, as there were so many file types that I need to deal with. That all changed when I found myself krename, a Qt based batch file rename program.

It’s available for Debian / Ubuntu and installable via this command:

shakir@herugrim ~ $ sudo apt-get install krename

Using it is as simple as adding files to the application’s workspace, and here I’ll show an example on how to rename JPEG files.

Upon clicking Functions on the Filename tab, you’ll be presented with this screen:

and you’ll get the next screen upon selecting JPEG EXIF Info.

Add whatever EXIF Info that you would like to rename your files to, click Finish, and you’re done..
