I'm using Windows and tried to set the editor using this command:

massren --config editor "F:\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe -n -w"

The command executes successfully, but when I try to launch massren, the following error occurs:

massren: Waiting for file list to be saved... (Press Ctrl + C to abort)
massren: exec: "F:\\Sublime": file does not exist
massren: Run 'massren --help' for usage

I'm guessing just wrapping the path in quotes here should solve the problem?

Currently, massren doesn't deal with already existing files and throws up an error:

massren: "/path/to/file" cannot be renamed to "/some/file": destination already exists

There could be multiple strategies for dealing with such cases:

1. Append some integer to the file. Most browsers do this with downloads.
2. Overwrite the destination file.
3. Skipping this file (& not renaming it) but continuing with others.

For me, option # 1 is the most used one, but # 3 sounds sane too.

uhh yes, oh no

Doing ls I see \n... I don't even know how they got in there.

If I run massren with no parameters, and save and exit my editor without making any changes, massren hangs indefinitely. Expected behavior is for it to quit.
Tested on Arch Linux 32-Bit.
EDIT: It still does respond to SIGINT

I'm guessing most of users of massren doesn't expect /n like argument. I hope to change it to -n on windows.
Thank you

Currently if a rename operation is invalid, massren do nothing and display error text

If possible, add an option like fix_invalid_filename

When it's false, massren works like what it is now

When it's true, fix common filename errors (maybe with more customizable setting like character used to replaced invalid characters)

For example

old name,   user's edit,   new name
---
1.h     1*.h     1_.h
2.h     1?.h     1_(1).h
3.h     2::2.h   2__2.h

Thanks for your repo!

I try to find application like this for years

BTW could you please update windows build to the lastest 1.4?

Hi,

Hope you're well

Thanks for software

When I process the contents of this folder the following file gets output at the bottom of the file list:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - s04e07 - Who Pooped the Bed? 2008-10-09 - DVDRIP - SDTV-480p24 - XVID AC3.avi

Screen shot:

The oddity appears to be due to the question mark in the file name

Can this be fixed?

If you're reading this and:

a) agree, then please up-vote and/or reply +1, or;
b) disagree, then I'd love to know why?

If you have any issues (e.g. questions/queries) happy to help

Hope to hear back

Keep up great work!

Yours faithfully

Simply put, it's annoying that every time I want to rename files, I am greeted with this enormous message about how to use the program, and would like for it to go away by default.

Plus, it can actually can be cumbersome to deal with because when I want to select something like the first column of text, I end up selecting a whole bunch of forward slashes and unneeded text.

I thought of 2 different ways of how to fix this issue:

• Add a "--notut" flag that if used, disables the message from appearing my text editor, or...
• Remember that the program was launched for the first time, so show the message once, then disable thereafter. And then probably add a "--tut" flag for those that want to read the tutorial text.

I would think that the first option would be easier to implement. Just my 2 cents.

First of all, thank you for the great tool!

I've encountered undesirable behaviour:

(input)

$ ls
00.jpg  03.jpg  06.jpg  09.jpg  12.jpg  15.jpg  18.jpg  21.jpg  24.jpg  27.jpg  30.jpg  33.jpg  36.jpg  39.jpg
01.jpg  04.jpg  07.jpg  10.jpg  13.jpg  16.jpg  19.jpg  22.jpg  25.jpg  28.jpg  31.jpg  34.jpg  37.jpg
02.jpg  05.jpg  08.jpg  11.jpg  14.jpg  17.jpg  20.jpg  23.jpg  26.jpg  29.jpg  32.jpg  35.jpg  38.jpg

(then I do)

$ massren
...
// I want to shift numbering to start it from 01
01.jpg
02.jpg
...
40.jpg

(and get)

$ ls
40.jpg

Last time I've tried to submit it to the official Homebrew repository they didn't accept Golang applications, however it seems they don't have this restriction anymore, so it could be worth submitting it again.

I used to invoke with this syntax: massren . . But it no longer works, it shows empty. I can leave the . off and it'll work, but I don't know why . fails as a path specification...?

For example, I use emacsclient -nw to get an emacs frame from my emacs server in the current tty, but this fails because exec.Command requires a straight executable path in the name field. Fixing this will probably require some extra code in editFile at main.go:129, but I haven't used go enough to know the Right Thing to Do.

This is probably also required for #1.

Would be great to be able to override the [already] set editor temporarily.

(As I understand, now, the only possibility is to re-set the conf variable before launch, and then to restore it, which is sort of hectic :))

Both -n and -v options give similarly formatted output... I think we should add a header like: "Operations that would have been performed:" to the -n option.

The default editor for a given file extension is stored in a registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.txt/ShellNew/ItemName
It was set to this on my system as a string value
@%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe,-470

See this

Are there any plans to support renaming a file with with a slash and it would create subfolders and move the files in?

/path1_subpath1_name.jpg

/path1/subpath1/name.jpg

Please switch to using go modules or else brew will no longer support massren.

Hey,

Thanks for software - seriously cool project!

Hope you're well

ENHANCEMENT As a user I want (the option) to ignore file extensions so I don't have to create regex

To give some context: I keep a simple text file with my video TV series'[0], which I tend to scrape from https://thetvdb.com/ for Plex[1]; my personal video recorder software. If I didn't have to mess around with file extensions it would be even more trivial to copy/paste the contents of this text file into massren 😀

A simple regex solved my issue on this (first) occasion, but it would be nice to have an ignore option to fall back on if I have a mess of file extensions in future:

\.avi|mkv|mp4

If anyone else reading this agrees please up-vote or reply "+1"

Please let me know if there's a more suitable place to leave issues

Hope this is clear/useful

Yours faithfully

I would like to work actively on the Windows release.

I currently have my semester exams coming up and would like to maintain the Windows release after that from December.

I don't see a license?

Currently, after launching the text editor, massren watches for the temporary file it created. If this file is modified, the renaming process starts, and then massren is closed.

However, if the file is not changed at all and simply closed, massren stays open and has to be closed with Ctrl + C.

In order to prevent this, we could watch the text editor process ID and, if it's gone, automatically exit massren. That would take care mainly of modal editors such as Vim. It still won't fix the issue with GUI editors though since they would usually remain open even if the file is closed.

This thing is smart, thanks!
I was wondering if you'd make it installable through brew?

I’ve tried multiple variants like:

massren --config include_heder 0
massren --config include_heder=0
massren --config include_heder false

I get a message that te config has been changed and get a 0 exit code, but the header is still there when I run massren.

Hi,

massren is so much part of my workflow that I though it was shipped with macOS/Linux 😆 ..
As I recently also got a windows workstation I wanted to voice for a bin release for windows :) (I did build it already for myself but I guess it would'nt hurt)

Build from source on Windows

Requires chocolatey

I use Windows Terminal and PowerShell 7 but it works with other setups, mingw is required as go-trash relies on gcc:

In an admin Terminal:

choco install -y golang mingw

Open a new terminal

go install "github.com/laurent22/[email protected]"

If you use vscode as the editor:

massren --config editor "code-insiders.cmd" # or code.cmd

Hi,

why do you use SQL to store configurations. Wouldn't JSON or INI work as well?
Would also remove the cgo deps.

Changing names to lowercase characters but keeping the same name does not work.

"/UPPERCASE NAME" cannot be renamed to "/uppercase name": destination already exists

Method 1: Type filenames directly via console

Method 2: Use send to to send filenames to massren (by throw a shortcut to C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo)

Generated filename buffer from both methods above are different from the order in explorer, this cause problem for number renames

For example, I want to rename 1.txt, 2.txt...100.txt to tvr016.cfg, tvr017.cfg...tvr115.cfg

If the order remains the same, column edition+number pattern start from 016 is enough to do so

But this can't be done since the order of file names in massren buffer is 1.txt, 10.txt, 100.txt, 11.txt...99.txt which should be rename to tvr016.cfg, tvr025.cfg, tvr115.cfg, tvr026.cfg...tvr0114.cfg, this can't be done with one rename pattern

I understand the need/want to support windows, so this will not work in all cases, but on systems where the EDITOR environment variable is set it seems to make sense to use that before trying to find an editor programmatically as it the default now.

This is the same strategy that git uses to find it's editor for commits and is fairly standard practice as far as I can tell.

@laurent22 Is this project abandoned?

For example, file names which are replaced with blank lines or some kind of flag ("DELETE_ME" etc) could be deleted rather than renamed. This would be useful for cleaning up messy directories, for example after extracting an archive in the wrong place. Could have a command line flag to turn this feature on.

I just used massren to mass-delete a bunch of files based on various filename filters, and it worked great, up until the part where it moved them all, one-by-one, to the OS X trash, complete with the sound effect for each one. On a list of about 10,000 files, this took more than 10 minutes.

An option to bypass the various operating system Trashes would be most welcome.

Hi all,

Hope you're well

Thanks for software

How would one go about renaming files recursively within a folder structure?

Since there's no features relating to this in the documentation I assume this isn't possible (yet) so I reached for (my limited) shell/bash knowledge:

find . -type d | xargs massren

Currently I only get an instance for the working directory but I expect a recursive instance per directory - can anyone make this useful?

Hope this is clear/useful and hope to hear back

Keep up great work!

Cheers
