Clean All Filenames

Rename (Clean) Filenames is a directory based feature that allows you to clean all filenames in a directory and any sub-directories. It is accessed via the icon to the right of the directory name in the File Manager.

Currently this function does 5 things to all files in a directory and any sub-directories.

1. Removes everything in parentheses with the exception of the 4-digit year (if available)
2. Removes c2c
3. Removes anything in brackets [any text removed] - along with the brackets
4. Removes any text / characters after "filename issue (year)"
5. Removes any extra spaces before the file extension

The pattern used for renaming is {Series Name} {Issue Number} ({Year})

Mylar3 and ComicRackCE should be your first choice for performing these actions, but I wanted something I could easily run on my manual downloads directory or repair in a one-off method.

Oftentimes series archives or torrent files will have numerous naming patterns with information in parenthesis, brackets, before the year, after and all over the place. I continuously update these to handle as many as I encounter.
