MUT: rename across sub-directories sub folders

Post by *sehlat »

I have a set of images organized by month and day in sub directories. For example: [main]\01\01 is all the images for January 1, and [main]\01\02 is January second, and so forth.

My file names are in a format where the first four digits are the month/day, and the rest of the file up to the .jpg is a name indicator.

I've got a regular expression which will work in one directory, which will let me insert a space between the date and the name, but I'd like to be able to run multi-rename in all the subdirectories below the main one.

Any way to do this? Multi-rename doesn't work in the file finder listbox.

Multi-rename across sub-directories:

1.) enable Branch-View
2.) select
3.) launch MUT

or
1.) perform a search
2.) feed to list
3.) launch MUT

  • You can use Branch View (Ctrl+B) is show all files in a directory and all sub-directories.
  • You can feed the search result to list.
After doing either of them you can mark all files (Ctrl+A) and rename them (Ctrl+M).

Search/Feed to list/MUT worked like a charm. Thank you both.
