Clean Up rule

TODO: Complete, review, update links.

This rule cleans up the filenames from (or for) commonly used naming conventions for Internet, peer-to-peer networks, and other applications. Multiple issues can be resolved at once.

Options

Strip out content of brackets

Remove the content of various brackets, including the brackets.

You can choose the types of brakcets: (…), […], {…}.

A typical use of this option is to remove the needless comments attached to filenames.

Replace these characters with spaces

Replace various characters that are often used in place of spaces, such as . (dot), _ (underscore), and others.

Optionaly, skip number sequences which may denonte versions numbers or phone numbers, for example "1.2.3.4".

Fix spaces

Replace multiple consecutive spaces with a single space character.

It also removes spaces from the beginning and the end of the filename. If the skip extension option is enabled, removes spaces around the base name (before the extension).

Normalize unicode spaces

Replace all Unicode white space characters with a standard space bar character code.

Unicode character set contains a number of different characters (C1_SPACE type) that represent a white space with slightly different properties (e.g. wider, narrower, non-breaking, etc).

Strip unicode emoji

Strip all Emoji code points from the filename.

For example, "Happy😀Face.mp3" becomes "HappyFace.mp3".

Strip unicode marks

Strip unicode marks, including combining marks, diacritics and accents.

For example, it will convert "á" to "a", "Ñ" to "N", "X̅" to "X", and so on.
