Rename manual

Double clicking one of these rows will launch the same web search. You an also select multiple rows and then click the Web Search button to launch a browser with multiple tabs, one for each highlighted row. Note both items have a tick in the box icon to the left of each row. When the Do Checked button is clicked everything ticked will be processed.

Note that there are some tick boxes to the right of the buttons. Selecting files in the main scan panel and clicking Revert to Missing will mark and list them as missing. Selecting files in the main scan panel and clicking Remove Selected will temporarily remove them from the scan tab. They will re-appear when the scan is re-run.

Click it again to resume. Clicking Cancel will stop the operation immediately. Occasionally information for shows gets corrupted and needs refreshing. This will often fix the issue. After selecting the option from the menu you are presented with the alert window shown. Whilst still on the My Shows tab click the Refresh button and the show data will be downloaded again. Now might be a good time for a coffee, if your library is large and internet connection slow it may take a while!

In keeping with our jumping-about policy lets look at My Shows next. Below these panels are a series of buttons which allow you to manage the content. They are: - Add - Adds a new show to the list.

Default: Empty Field New in Version 2. You now have a number of options: - Selecting Skip Auto Add stops doing auto add for this scan for all files. Rename Manually set the name of an episode. Remove Make a an episode disappear. All episodes above will be renumbered down to fill the gap.

Swap Swap the position of two episodes. Merge The episodes numbers supplied all in a single multi-episode file. Insert Manually add an episode into the season. Later episodes are renumbered to accommodate the change. Split Turn one episode into many. Following episodes are renumbered to accommodate the change. Return to Top Scan TV Rename can scan your media library looking for missing or outdated files and will try to repair any issues it finds automatically.

There are three types of scan available : - Full A full scan of all shows and seasons. Deselecting causes files within folders to not be included in the operation. By default, all subfolder items are included. Select between four options to either convert items to be all lowercase, all uppercase, title case first character of name is capitalized , or capitalize each word. Appends a numeric suffix to file names that were modified in the operation.

For example: foo. The creation date and time attributes of a file can be used in the Replace with text by entering a variable pattern according to the table below. Selecting the tool-tip in the Replace with field allows you to view and select from the supported patterns. For most use cases, a simple search and replace is sufficient. There may be occasions, however, in which complicated renaming tasks require more control.

Regular Expressions can help. Regular Expressions define a search pattern for text. They can be used to search, edit and manipulate text. The pattern defined by the regular expression may match once, several times, or not at all for a given string. Note: You will likely want to check Match All Occurrences while using regular expressions. To use the Boost library instead of the standard library, check the Use Boost library option in the PowerToys settings. It enables extended features, like lookbehind , which are not supported by the standard library.

Regex tutorial — A quick cheatsheet by examples. Filters can be used in PowerRename to narrow the results of the rename. Use the Preview window to check expected results. Select the column headers to switch between filters. Additional options can be configured from the PowerRename tab in the Settings menu as described below:.

Either handle the warning as is appropriate to your use-case, or call copy and then unlink , which will avoid the doomed calls to chown and chmod , thereby eliminating the warning.

This is useful because it allows you to build a file as a temp file, then rename it to where you want it to be, and nobody sees the file when it's half done. I bet the other problems you had were the result of not calling clearstatcache , which can cause PHP to act like a file exists though it has since been deleted. Note, that on Unix, a rename is a beautiful way of getting atomic updates to files.

Just copy the old contents if necessary , and write the new contents into a new file, then rename over the original file. Any processes reading from the file will continue to do so, any processes trying to open the file while you're writing to it will get the old file because you'll be writing to a temp file , and there is no "intermediate" time between there being a file, and there not being a file or there being half a file.

Oh, and this only works if you have the temp file and the destination file on the same filesystem eg. It's not documented. Remark for "php at stock-consulting dot com"'s note: This depends on the operating system.

On windows-systems you can't rename a file to an existing destination ok, with tools you can - but they unlink the exisiting one before. The problem persists even after properly closing the file and flushing the buffer. Inserting a sleep command before the renaming cures the problem. There is an associated bug in the Ubuntu bug system for this as well, that was escalated to bugs. However, copy is, unlike rename , NOT useable for "atomic updates".

Another process may actually access the destination file while copy is working.
