f2's Issues

[bug] auto make directory failed (windows os)

a file named as video file from internet [youtube][id][uploader] - part 2.mp4 in R:\ (windows drive root path)
i'd like to rename/move it into a sub folder named [uploader]
the f2 command used was f2 -f "^(.*(\[.+?\]).*?)$" -r "$2\$1" -x R:\
f2 error was An error occurred while renaming 'R:\video file from internet [youtube][id][uploader] - part 2.mp4' to 'R:\[uploader]\video file from internet [youtube][id][uploader] - part 2.mp4'
it did try to rename it with prefix path of parent R:\[uploader]\, but this sub folder/directory wasn't there

not sure if it's windows os specific bug
maybe the windows path sep backslash \ is the cause?

How to batch pad 0 of number ?

Files in the current directory:
1.txt 22.txt 333.txt
1.txt -> 0001.txt
22.txt -> 0022.txt
333.txt -> 0333.txt
With another command line rename tool nomino:
nomino -tp "([0-9]+).txt" "{:4}.txt"
Since it is a very common task.
How to do this with f2 ?

x.cdt return None on some old image,exiftool shows DateTimeOriginal

Dry option in simple mode

Provide an option to "dry run" the f2 command.

String functions usage enhancements

I would suggest couple of enhancements to this great tool!

allow string functions to be used on match groups, e.g.: f2 '\b(.)' '{{$1.up}}'
allow string transformations to be used on built in variables: e.g.: f2 '.*' '{{f.ti}}{{ext}}'

on Windows command prompt using single quote do not work

Hello

Just a remark, on command prompt for windows the single quote do not work :)

as it was my first time playing with f2, it toook some time to get it working (with command line binary, i test first on cmd, before going to powershell, old habit)

it's just maybe in the wiki a tiny warning :)

thanks for your work.

Renaming mp3s fails on Windows if using ID3 tags.

Trying to rename a folder full of mp3 on Windows 10 using ID3 tags results in the following error for every file:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Using a file handle viewer, I was able to conclude that no processes actually had the files open and by trial and error, I discovered that it was the use of ID3 tags to rename it that was causing the error.
f2 -r "{{id3.artist}} - {{id3.title}}{{ext}}" -x

[bug] error when double dots ".." in sub-folder (of dst path)

I'm using f2 to group lots of files into sub-folders based on part of their names, via regex. When renameing is something like from src /root/title [artist_name_with..].mp4 to dst /root/artist_name_with../title [artist_name_with..].mp4, it throws an error occurred while renaming. Could only guess but seems like the double dots .. in the sub-folder name artist_name_with.. is the cause.

OS is Windows 10

Not working with basic regex?

I had high hopes for this tool but unless I am entirely misreading stuff basic regex does not work..

Am I missing something here?

RFE: Avoid cluttering $HOME, move config files/data to their appropriate place.

Short description:
f2 writes to $HOME/.f2

What is wrong with this?
If all programs would write to $HOME, one would end up with $HOME full of dot files/dirs. This not only leads to cutter, but makes it difficult for backup. There are also folks who manage their $HOME or part(s) of it with git. So if apps write non important stuff directly to $HOME, you can imagine how many changes git would report. One would also backup this stuff. Their exists a standard that defines where an application should save {config, temporary, cache,...} files. For more information have a look at XDG spec.

Solution:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

Go implementations of the the spec (random):

exiftool - fatal error: all goroutines are asleep - deadlock

As I was trying to use the exiftool, it seems that I broke your tool (again) :D. I am using Windows and installed the exiftool via chocolatey (choco install exiftool). Maybe It's because of the way I installed exiftool. Are there instructions for installing exiftool on Windows?

test data is missing ?

https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2/blob/master/f2_test/f2_test.go#L74 lists all the files that the test will use

but the testdata folder does not have all these.

[discuss] should "Failed to match any files" be handled as an error or just a warning?

it is the exit code that matters
since f2 doesn't match any file, then setting the exit code to 1 is kind of "improper", and will disturb the following processes in a running script - case the script needs to check if f2 encountered any real error to determine how to do the next step
maybe just print that warning line, but without set the exit code, how's that?

Leading zeros

I'm using

f2 -f '(\w+) ((\d+)).(\w+)' -r '$1-$2.$3'

and get

| ORIGINAL | RENAMED | STATUS |
| ************************************************ |
| 1528655011 (1).jpg | 1528655011-1.jpg | ok |
| 1528655011 (10).jpg | 1528655011-10.jpg | ok |

but I want for $2 leading zeros and 3 digits.

How I have to do it?

Piping output to f2 doesn't work as expected

Perhaps I am doing it wrong, but: fd -e jpg 'IMG' | f2 -r '{{x.dt.YYYY}}-{{x.dt.MM}}-{{x.dt.DD}}-{{x.dt.H}}-{{x.dt.mm}}-{{x.dt.ss}}_{{x.make}}-{{x.model}}-%07d' yields: INFO Failed to match any files.

Which is kind of unexpected since fd --change-newer-than '2020-04-01 00:00:00' | f2 -r '{{mtime.YYYY}}-{{mtime.MM}}-{{mtime.DD}}_{{f}}' -e --sortr 'mtime' from https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2/wiki/Renaming-recipes#usage-with-fd does work.

If I manually provide the filename like this: f2 -r '{{x.dt.YYYY}}-{{x.dt.MM}}-{{x.dt.DD}}-{{x.dt.H}}-{{x.dt.mm}}-{{x.dt.ss}}_{{x.make}}-{{x.model}}-%07d' ./2022-10-15/IMG_20221015_113141581.jpg. Then it works:

❯ f2 -r '{{x.dt.YYYY}}-{{x.dt.MM}}-{{x.dt.DD}}-{{x.dt.H}}-{{x.dt.mm}}-{{x.dt.ss}}_{{x.make}}-{{x.model}}-%07d' ./2022-10-15/IMG_20221015_113141581.jpg

What am I doing wrong?

Using regex capture group appended with underscore leads to erroneously named files

Hi and thank you for creating this awesome tool!

I ran into an issue where f2 doesn't generate the desired output name when using regex capture groups together with an underscore.

Steps to reproduce

I created a test directory with three test files. In there I tried to rename the test1.txt to test_01.txt.

PS > touch test1.txt
PS > touch test2.txt
PS > touch test3.txt
PS > f2 -f '(.*)\d.txt' -r '$1_%02d{{ext}}'

Expected result

I assumed that the files would get renamed to test_01.txt, etc. Something like this:

┌──────────────────────────────────┐
| ORIGINAL  | RENAMED     | STATUS |
| ******************************** |
| test1.txt | test_01.txt | ok     |
| test2.txt | test_02.txt | ok     |
| test3.txt | test_03.txt | ok     |
└──────────────────────────────────┘

Actual result

Actually the tool is not happy about the _ and does not insert the first capture group at all.

┌──────────────────────────────┐
| ORIGINAL  | RENAMED | STATUS |
| **************************** |
| test1.txt | 01.txt  | ok     |
| test2.txt | 02.txt  | ok     |
| test3.txt | 03.txt  | ok     |
└──────────────────────────────┘

The error becomes more obvious when using the following command: f2 -V -f '(.*)\d.txt' -r '$1_a'

┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
| ORIGINAL  | RENAMED | STATUS         |
| ************************************ |
| test1.txt |         | empty filename |
| test2.txt |         | empty filename |
| test3.txt |         | empty filename |
└──────────────────────────────────────┘

Without the underscore it works just fine f2 -V -f '(.*)\d.txt' -r '$1 %02d{{ext}}'

┌──────────────────────────────────┐
| ORIGINAL  | RENAMED     | STATUS |
| ******************************** |
| test1.txt | test 01.txt | ok     |
| test2.txt | test 02.txt | ok     |
| test3.txt | test 03.txt | ok     |
| test4.txt | test 04.txt | ok     |
└──────────────────────────────────┘

Extract date and time from video files

so technically it should be able to extract this value, parse it and make it accessible via x.dt.YYYY for example. What do you think?

I could use xt.MediaCreateDate but it's hard to parse it to something like 2022-10-24_18-33 because it uses : inside of the string

question: search and replace file contents

wondering if this tool can do search and replace of segments within a file.

for example i need to do this to markdown files.

Regular expressions

Does the use of regular expressions require Go to be installed?

Thank you

not working for me!

Hi there,

I found your app tonight while testing multiple cli regex batch renaming tools.

In the first place it was very convincing but it didn't work for me.

I have file names like:
Rechnung_01_2023_30071007000721.pdf
Rechnung_02_2023_30071007000721.pdf
Rechnung_03_2023_30071007000721.pdf
Rechnung_04_2023_30071007000721.pdf
Rechnung_05_2023_30071007000721.pdf

I tested my regex on https://regex101.com/ for matching "(\d{2})(\d{4})" and replacing it by "$2$1".

I'm sure this is a very basic operation, but I don't know why your app doesn't produce the expected output?!

My command line looks like:
D:!data\documents\telekom 2022-10-10\2023>"c:!data\pc-game\Desktop\f2_1.9.0_windows_amd64.tar\f2.exe" -f "(\d{2})(\d{4})" -r "$2$1"

The command line:
D:!data\documents\telekom 2022-10-10\2023>"c:!data\pc-game\Desktop\f2_1.9.0_windows_amd64.tar\f2.exe" -f "(\d{2})_(\d{4})" -r "$2-$1"
works well with the expected output:

But I don't want the dash as separator. I want the underscore and it doesn't work for it?!
I tried to escape it by "$2_$1" but that didn't work too.

So, what am I doing wrong?

Fun fact, this exact behavior is reproduced by brenamer ... coincidence? or using some common libraries??

Best regards,
Teo

"-e" option considers the last period in directory name as extension separator

For example, if I have directory test.dir.period nested inside test directory, then running f2 -ed -f '\.' -r ' ' test returns this:

+----------------------+----------------------+--------+
|        INPUT         |        OUTPUT        | STATUS |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------+
| test/test.dir.period | test/test dir.period | ok     |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------+

And if I try to match the "extension" of the directory by running f2 -ed -f 'period' -r 'full stop' test:
INFO Failed to match any files

Installation and usage instructions for Termux/Android

Hi there,

after I switched phones recently, all my "last modified" timestamps of my images were set to a wrong date which means images don't show up in the correct order. Now I wanted to use f2 to fix that issue. Sadly Windows does not allow command line access to the phone, so I checked alternatives and saw that you offer a termux/Android version.

Since I have never used external software with termux, I was a bit stuck. An entry in the wiki page for installation would probably help newcomers find what they need. Also it would be a nice addition to the otherwise already excellent wiki you have for this project.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Rico

PS: I solved the initial issue with the timestamps as follows:

$ for name in IMG_[0-9]*.mp4; do touch -t ${name:4:8}${name:13:4}.${name:17:2} "$name"; done
$ for name in VID_[0-9]*.mp4; do touch -t ${name:4:8}${name:13:4}.${name:17:2} "$name"; done

[Help] How to match ISO date string

I would like to be able to replace the filenames of multiple files without changing the date/time.

So I have files with multiples dates and times like:

2023-02-23 Filename.pdf | 2023-02-27T16.10.34 Filename.pdf

I want to maintain the date/date-time and rename only the 'Filename'. So:

2023-02-23 NewFilename.pdf | 2023-02-27T16.10.34 NewFilename.pdf

Turns out, you can enable it by addding -api LargeFileSupport=1 to the command line:

Can we make this LargeFileSupport an optional flag or something?

Data loss due to issue with --fix-conflicts

Hi there, it's me again.

I just experienced a bug where the -F switch lead to data loss. For whatever reason f2 decided that it is totally okay to rename two files to the same name. Obviously it wasn't able to recover from this issue, since the source file wasn't there anymore.
Luckily I already anticipated this behavior, so I copied the data to a different folder to test this beforehand.

[Feature Request] Add an option that allows passing a list of files as argument

In some cases we need to batch rename some files which don't share any similarities in the file names. It would be a pain in the ass to write a RE to match all of them at the same time. It f2 could take a list of files (directly in the command line or as a list file ) as argument, it would be much easier. Thanks!

goldens testing integration

https://github.com/hexops/autogold i am using

saw the goldens in the f2 repo but could not work out what your using.

I am not sure it can do goldens on collections of files, which is probably wat f2 needs ?

seemingly regex non-capturing group is not supported?

f2 connects to microsoft leaking my IP as an f2 user without consent when I run `f2 --version`

[feature request] Is it possible to add DateTimeOriginal time?

I'm a newbie to use F2 and feel it's so fast and cool. I use it to rename my photos.
And is it possible to add DateTimeOriginal time?
It's the time of the shutter actuation (capture time), I think it's meaning ful for a photo rather than file create or change time.

[Question] Custom when fix conflicts

For example currently fixing conflicts mean adding (2), (3), ... to filename

Can I change to _01, _02, ...

Because for some reason I don't want space in filename.

directories to lowercase not working

The command
f2 -D -f '.*.' -r {{tr.lw}}'
does produce a correct preview with all upercase letters changes into lowercases, however,
f2 -verbose -x -D -f '.*.' -r {{tr.lw}}'
produces a lot of success messages like "SUCCESS Renamed Ludwig_Hirsch to ludwig_hirsch" but does not change a thing.

the command "mv Ludwig_Hirsch ludwig_hirsch" works nicely - did i find an issue there or am i doing sth wrong?

Version is 1.8.0 on rasbian buster, Filesystem is vfat - maybe that is the culprit?

Program:Win32/Wacapew.C!ml

According to virustotal, the new 1.2.0 version is seen by Microsoft as Program:Win32/Wacapew.C!ml.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/22448970adabb868aa40d229efffdc8aa2d364ef630355526f96c870ee4121fa/detection

[question] how to config the shell?

The shell is beautiful, how can i have a shell config like this?

[feature request] perhaps an option of "force overwrite" is needed in some cases

At least I'm eager for it, of course it should be served with conspicuous warnings and extra prompt.

[bug] (windows) open System Volume Information: Access is denied.

on windows os, when CWD is a drive root, do sth like f2 -R -d -f x -r y raise error open System Volume Information: Access is denied.
it seems like f2 is trying to access the special dir System Volume Information in every drive root, which is actually hidden and should be skipped / ignored by f2 (since the --hidden, -H option is not given)

[question] how does f2 distinguish regex from simple text?

there's neither cli option to toggle regex, nor special format in text for -f -r options, to tell if the text is regex or not
in case the text is both acceptable as regex or literal, how to ensure f2 work correctly?

Currently filenames like `EP.1.v0.1080p.mp4` do not get sorted correctly

Currently filenames like EP.1.v0.1080p.mp4 do not get sorted correctly
(e.g. episode 11 right after episode 1). That is caused by the . in
front of the episode number, making it get sorted as if it were
decimals.

fails to run on long paths in windows.

Create this Dir:
C:\My Drive\temploweirdo.com\5.Data Structures and Algorithms\1. Asymptotic Analysis and Insertion Sort, Merge Sort\2.Sorting & Searching why bother with these simple tasks
Say a.

Create this file in a:
1. Sorting & Searching- why bother with these simple tasks- - Data Structure & Algorithms - Part-2.mp4

Now running f2 -f '.*' in a, fails with Path Not Specified Error.

           	pointer, err := syscall.UTF16PtrFromString(filepath.Join(baseDir, filename))

           		return false, err

           	return attributes&syscall.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN != 0, nil 
        
           }

Specifically, syscall.GetFileAttributes(), most probably because of long path names.

Possible Solutions:
Appending \\?\ in front of an absolute path. (But you seem to use relative path for baseDir)

I'm not sure though, please check once again.
Please make sure that it works with long file names and paths.

Thank you.

.01.png 01.png 02.png

So, using

F2 -f ".*" -r "{%02d}.png"

At this time, only the file names of 01.png and 02.png can be modified, and the file .01.png will not be renamed

Did I do something wrong?

大哥，同是**人，你就不能增加一个中文使用说明吗？中英双文并不冲突！

毕竟你的推广主体是国人，何苦**人为难**人！太不友好了！
