Rename All Files

Rename All Files

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

You can define custom naming patterns in File Settings.

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.
