quokka's Issues

-n option needs to override -v option

When a user run quokka with the -v option by an alias set or a shell script as specified in INSTALL.md, it becames impossible to keep the original order of file names with the -n option because -n is active only when there is no -v.

add FAQs

Necessary to add FAQs document.

implement "case" feature

refactor code

• apply new coding style
• change directory structure

run quokka on a huge list of names

quokka has been tested only on a moderately large list of file names to rename and needs to be tested on a larger one for both performance and convenience.

improve FAQs

FAQs need to deal with smart auto-completion, escaped spaces and one-line multi-commands.

one-line explanation for commands would be helpful

Because there are no extra explanations for supported commands (rule modes), users are not easy to figure out what job a certain command performs unless they enter that mode; for example, what is the difference of 'delete' than 'remove'?

implement "import" feature

implement "replace" feature

improve the import command

It would be useful for imported lines to be parsed with a field separator like a tab before inserted into file names, which is easy to implement.

separate "extension" from quokka.js

To aid introduction of new features to quokka, it is necessary to separate functions that implement features from the main code, quokka.js.

implement "remove" feature

stress test for auto-completion needed

There are cases where auto-completion goes wrong; necessary to stress-test auto-completion and to fix bugs found.

replace wcwidth.js with the published one

wcwidth.js now published on npm. It is necessary to replace the file with the npm package.

handle spaces in a consistent way

Even if all kinds of spaces distinguish commands from their arguments or other commands, escaping with backslashes applies only to a normal space, for example, when constructing a list for auto-completion. This should be fixed so that all white-spaces have to be dealt with in a consistent way.

auto-completion needs to change according to skipping extensions

Even when extensions are being skipped by setting "skip extension", auto-completion includes characters from extensions, which sometimes confuses users.

remove multiple appearances of command names

In code for each command, there are multiple appearances of a command name, which requires cumbersome replacement because a new command is more easily implemented by copying and modifying an existing one.

By introducing a variable to contain command names, that would be simpler.

implement "delete" feature

implement "describe" feature

As rules have complicated features, users may need to see what the net effect of their rule before applying it with the `done' command.

unexpected output from auto-completion

$ quokka 20131217-160115.avi
> #extension change to aot[tab]

(no space after aot) gives

> #extension change to aot31217-160115.avi

implement "serialize" feature

fix bug related to running command

#delete> #delete from position 20 until end

/home/mycoboco/script/quokka/src/quokka.js:733
            cset.cmd(t.cmd).func(t.param);
                            ^
TypeError: Cannot call method 'func' of undefined

smart auto-completion needed

The current auto-completion for quokka always lists up commands available even when arguments for a command (strings from file names in most cases) are requested.

It would be more useful if proper candidates show up depending on user input.

use up-to-date version of wcwidth.js

implement "strip" feature

possible problems from import command need to be considered

The import command reads lines from an external file to insert into file names, which might lead to problematic cases that require special handling like:

• arbitrary byte sequence inserted into file names
• white-spaces not correctly in the current version (handling them consistently is filed as another ticket)

move FAQs into README.md

Move explanations in FAQs into README.md to make public access easier.

release 0.0.7 with change on repo

modifications to libraries should be moved out of node_modules

To publish the project to npm, all modifications to the libraries need to be moved out of node_modules.

1. the none property added to colors.js may be able to be implemented with no touch on the file.
2. since alphanum.js is not a npm module, it should be kept in lib/ not in node_modules/.

implement "insert" feature
