batchop 0.1.2

Batch file operations with an intuitive syntax and safe defaults

WARNING: batchop is in early beta. It has bugs. Only use it on files that you have backed up.

batchop is a command-line tool and Python library for doing operations on sets of files, with an intuitive, human-readable syntax.

# or use `pipx` to install it in an isolated environment
$ pip install batchop

$ alias bop=batchop
$ bop list files with ext jpg
05_27_beach.jpg
05_27_cabin.jpg
05_28_hike.jpg

batchop can list, count, rename, and delete files. It's a general-purpose replacement for find, xargs, hand-written bash loops, etc.

# change mm/dd to dd/mm/yyyy
$ bop rename '*_*_*.jpg' to '#2_#1_2024_#3.jpg'

# delete big out-takes
$ bop delete '*.jpg' in outtakes gt 5mb

Oh, and you can undo commands, too:

$ bop undo
# out-takes are back!
