tempren is a powerful file renaming utility that uses flexible template expressions to generate names for your files.
Tag templates can modify original filename, extract metadata from the files or anything in between.
A rich library of built-in tags helps with working with many common file types out-of-the-box.
Whether you need to organize your files, standardize naming conventions, or perform complex renaming tasks, tempren can help you get the job done efficiently.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Template-based filename/path generation.
- Built-in Audio/Video/Images metadata extraction tags.
- Ad-hoc tags to leverage external programs for metadata extraction.
- Configurable, metadata-based file selection (filtering) and sorting.
- Three main modes of operation: name, directory and path.
- Name – the default mode – the template is used for filename generation only. This mode is used most often as it doesn’t alter directory structure and focuses just on the files.
- Directory – template generates new names for directories only – without changing filesystem hierarchy.
- Path – for each processed file, the template generates a whole, new path (relative to the input directory). This way you can move (sort) files into dynamically generated catalogues.
