Rearrange rule

TODO: Complete, review, update links.

This rule allows you to chop up the existing file name and reuse any/all of the parts in any order to compose a new name.

  • You can also add your own text, or use meta tags while composing the new name.
  • You can also use the whole original name, and insert literal text (or meta tags) around it.

Enter a list of delimiters/positions, separating them with | (vertical pipe) character. Alternateivly, click the ReNamer plus button.png button to add another delimiter/position used for splitting.

A more detailed explanation of different split options can be found in the section below.

New pattern

Compose the new name from the parts created from the original name.

All the parts resulting from splitting the original name can be accessed via short codes $1, $2, $3, and so on. You can also reference the parts using indexing from the opposite end via negative short codes $-1, $-2, $-3, and so on. The full original name is accessible via short code $0.

Using a mix of short codes and any other text you can rearrange the name and add additonal text around the rearranged parts.
