Template-based renaming utility

Tempren - template-based file renaming utility

tempren is a powerful file renaming utility that uses flexible template expressions to generate names for your files.
Tag templates can modify original filename, extract metadata from the files or anything in between.
A rich library of built-in tags helps with working with many common file types out-of-the-box.

Whether you need to organize your files, standardize naming conventions, or perform complex renaming tasks, tempren can help you get the job done efficiently.

Features

• Template-based filename/path generation
• Built-in Audio/Video/Images metadata extraction tags
• Ad-hoc tags to leverage external programs for metadata extraction
• Configurable, metadata-based file selection (filtering) and sorting

Installation and documentation

Examples

Note: When experimenting on your own please use -dr/--dry-run flag!
tempren will not override your files by default but invalid template can mangle their names.
