Research recursive file naming #Help #Question

Open ldexterldesign opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

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

Yes it's not currently supported. Maybe a bash file with a simple for loop would work? I don't know the xargs command well enough to know what it will do in combination with massren.

K, I'll post back if I find a solution

In the meantime, I'd appreciate if you left this issue open in case someone else can offer a solution

Keep up great work!
