Feature Request: EPUB / PDF Metadata implementation.

Hey,

So I have a bunch of epub documents and books that I am working with right now that I have been manually renaming, and wishing that EPUB support was present in ReNamer. Any chance we'll be able to get EPUB/PDF support any time soon?

I could be wrong about PDF support not being there, I've only tried EPUB atm.

If someone knows of a tool that can extract metadata from EPUB files and rename files based on that, it would be a huge help.

Appreciate any consideration.

Re: Feature Request: EPUB / PDF Metadata implementation.

You can use 3rd party command line tools to extract meta tags and use them within the Pascal Script rule.

For PDF files you can use Xpdf tools:

For EPUB files you can use ExifTool:
