renameutils - Programs to make renaming of files easier
The file renaming utilities (renameutils for
short) are a set of programs designed to make renaming of multiple
files faster and less cumbersome. It currently consists of two
programs: "qmv" and "imv". qmv allows files to be renamed by editing
their names in any text editor. Since the files are listed after each
other, this allows common changes to be made more quickly. imv
("interactive mv") is trivial but useful when you are too lazy to type
(or even complete) the name of the file to rename. It allows the
filename to be edited in the terminal using the GNU readline
library. This is also useful when renaming files in Midnight
Commander, where the whole filename has to be entered again.
