zShxckIs there a way to rename a lot of files on a progressive way?
I use KRename for renaming multiple files.
higanteI second krename. Works flawlesly for me.
This can be done natively in Thunar if you happen to use XFCE.
I use nomino for this purpose.
I eat wordshow can you identify season from the file name?
One approach: Look up what TV show has 291 episodes; land on this Wikipedia page which gives you the season lengths.
good and fun idea ;)
you can try rename: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/rename.1.html
or rename 's/expression/replacement/' filename
select range of episodes per season then add season number (eg S01) in replacement string.
then restart numbering for next set of episodes (eg 01 to 12) and add S02. and so on. more tedious than the gui Rename method but doable.
Do you have the means to write your own Python script? If so, that would be a simple way to solve your problem.
or if you are comfortable with command line and some replacement shenanigans, there is always mmv
bettseWould the tvnamer utility help?
I looked into it yesterday, and i don't think is good for me, I actually need the format S01E01 and not its standard like [1x01]
MalThere are various GUI tools (eg., gprename, krename) but I prefer qmv, a CLI tool from the renameutils package. It opens filenames into a vim (or your default editor) session, with which you can use global regex search/replace commands to rename files.
krenamer can do this. It just is a regex front end. You could do it with a shell script too.
That’s what i started using :)
