I always hated going through renaming programs' gui to rename a file so I wrote this little script to just
drag n drop files and folders onto the script's location to rename them based on preset options
But anything worth doing is worth over-doing so I included a full, rich gui aswell
The result is a shameless rip-off of ant renamer
In fact I'm quite proud

no1readsthese, I like this a lot! I think the code is well organized. 1600 lines seems like a lot, but really there's several hundred for the GUI.

One small thing is delete and delete all. I think clear and clear all may be more easily understood.

I will test this more and let you know if there are any bugs. I get the idea that there will be some useful code in there that I can learn from.

Thanks, Keybored

this is very nice
thanks

but can it compete whole apps written in C++? I mean, ofcourse it may have more features and be more flexible, but will it be as stable and as accurate, especialy with large number of files?

After using this script almost daily for most of my renaming needs, I feel like Lightning Renamer can compete with many of the renaming apps written in more powerful programing languages. As for the stability and accuracy, in my experience, Lightning Renamer has handled 40+ files (haven't tried renaming much larger than 40ish) promptly and with virtually no problems. But keep in mind, this script is along way from being perfect and was originally written not as an alternative but as a supplement to commercial renamers.

Great renamer,
Any chance of it being able to rename a single file automatically as its dropped in the window, then clearing that file in the list, and remembering the next value when renaming the next file placed in the window.
The reason i'm asking this is because i am trying to sort pictures in a certain order.
I need to place numbers in front of the file name.
To choose the pictures, i look at them in thumbnail view.
The problem when placing 100's of pictures that i select into the window for renaming is that i start to forget what i chose.
If it had an option to automatically rename the file
e.g."001 originalfilename" and automatically clear the renaming window i would then know which picture was already renamed when selecting a new picture to rename from the folder, as it would have a 3 digit number placed at the start.
At the moment if i try to do this individually the files are always renamed as 001, instead of going to the next value.

Is this possible?

Thanks
Amber
