About:
PipeRename allows users to rename multiple files by loading their names into a text editor for bulk editing. It leverages your preferred editor (like Vim or VS Code) to perform complex rename operations using powerful text manipulation features. This approach streamlines batch renaming tasks that would be cumbersome with traditional command-line tools.
Key Features:
  • Editor-based renaming workflow
  • Supports complex batch operations
  • Integrates with existing editor muscle memory
Use Cases:
  • Batch renaming photo sequences or log files
  • Refactoring project file structures
  • Reordering lists of files using text editing commands
Alternatives:
  • rename – Uses regex patterns rather than a text editor interface
  • qmv – Part of the renameutils package, focuses on spreadsheet-style editing
