# HSRename A **native Linux** GUI for mass renaming files. Inspired by [Bulk Rename Utility](https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/#features) (Windows). Rename hundreds of media files with flexible rules, **preview before applying**, and support for **episode renumbering** without losing episode titles. ## Features - **GUI** – Structure renames with rule panels; no command line needed. - **Preview** – See “Original → New name” for every file before committing. - **Multiple rules** – Combine rules (order: Replace → Regex → Insert → Remove → Case → Numbering → Episode renumber → Prefix/Suffix). Enable only the rules you need. - **Episode renumbering** – Replace episode numbers (e.g. `S01E05 - Title` → `S01E01 - Title`) while keeping season and title. Start number and zero-padding configurable. - **Replace / Regex** – Plain text find/replace or full regex with capture groups. - **Insert / Remove** – Insert text at start/end/position; remove text, digits, or first/last N characters. - **Case** – Title Case, UPPER, lower, Sentence case. - **Numbering** – Add a running number (prefix/suffix/insert) with start, step, and padding. - **Prefix / Suffix** – Add fixed text to the beginning or end of every name. - **CSV mapping** – Rename from a CSV with columns **Original Name** and **Target Name** (one row per file; lookup by current filename). - **Safe renames** – Two-pass rename to avoid overwrites; collision detection in preview. - **Undo** – After applying renames, use **Undo last rename** in the same folder to revert (undo log is stored as a hidden file in that folder). ## Requirements - Python 3.10+ - PyQt6 ## Install and run ```bash cd /path/to/HSRename pip install -r requirements.txt python main.py ``` Or with a virtual environment: ```bash python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt python main.py ``` ## Usage 1. **Browse** to a folder (only files in that directory are listed; hidden files are skipped). 2. Pick a **rule type** from the dropdown and check **“Use this rule”**. 3. Configure the rule. You can enable several rules; they run in a fixed order. 4. Check the **Preview** table (Original name → New name). Resolve any duplicate-name warnings. 5. Click **Apply renames** and confirm. ### Episode renumbering example - Files: `S01E12 - Pilot.mkv`, `S01E07 - Second.mkv`, … - Enable **Episode renumber**, set **First episode number** to `1`, **Step** to `1`, **Zero-pad width** to `2`. - Preview: `S01E12 - Pilot.mkv` → `S01E01 - Pilot.mkv`, `S01E07 - Second.mkv` → `S01E02 - Second.mkv`, etc. Titles are preserved. Sort order is the current list order (alphabetical by filename). Reorder files in the table (e.g. by dragging) if you add that later; for now, use the order given after opening the folder. ### CSV mapping 1. Create a CSV with header row: **Original Name**, **Target Name**. 2. One data row per file: first column = current filename, second column = desired new name. 3. Enable **9. CSV mapping**, click **Browse…** and select the CSV. 4. Only rows that match a current filename in the folder are renamed; others are unchanged. You can combine with other rules (CSV is applied in rule order). ## AppImage (distribution) To build a portable AppImage: ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-build.txt ./build_appimage.sh ``` You need [appimagetool](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases) installed to produce the final `.AppImage`; if missing, the script still creates the AppDir and prints the exact command. The output is `HSRename.AppImage`. ## Push to Gitea See [PUSH_TO_GITEA.md](PUSH_TO_GITEA.md) for adding this repo to your Gitea and pushing. ## License MIT.
