Rename File

[Ysl]

Hi

I would like to be able after selecting a file to push a key and it will be renamed to "cover"

So that xyz.jpg will become cover.jpg (the same with *.bmp files)

This seem simple but I did not found how to do it with User manager Command so maybe it would work with a script but for that, I need your help as I'm don't know how to write a script...

Thanks

Here's a quick script that will rename all files to cover.<ext>, not just JPEGs and BMPs. If you need it to apply to just those types then drop me a line and I'll add another one for that

Code: Select all

"Rename to Cover"  rename s, "<curbase>/cover";

This does it simpler:

Code: Select all

"Rename to Cover" rename , "cover";

May I ask for an improvement in this script..

which will :

Copy the selected file in the same folder and then rename it to cover.jpg

Try this:

Code: Select all

copyitem , "cover.jpg";

Try this:

Code: Select all

copyitem , "cover.jpg";

I'd suggest using this instead:

Code: Select all

copyitem , "cover.?";

That way you can use it on other image types without blowing away the proper extension.
