Hi, this comes from Debian Bug#339113 (http://bugs.debian.org/339113) submitted by Artom Lifshitz <artom@sympatico.ca>. ----------------------------------8<---------------------------------------- Juk's mass file renamer is a wonderful tool, and I keep juk around only for that. It'd be nice if amarok was able to rename files en masse based on a template. ---------------------------------->8----------------------------------------
I completely agree. Amarok already has an file renamer, but only when importing songs to the collection. I think the mass file renamer should be merged with the existing dialog, and should be accessible not only during initial import but also in the context menu of songs/playlist/collection browser. Some things which could be improved in the current file renamer: - The "Filename Format" usability. See how JuK handles this. - It would be very nice to have to different settings for compilation and non-compilation songs. For example, for non-compilation songs I want "%folder/%artist/%album/{%track - }%title.%filetype" as scheme, while for compilation albums I want "%folder/%album/{%track - }%artist - %title.%filetype"
Oh, actually I just noticed Amarok does indeed have a file renamer, which is in the context menu under Manage files->Organize files. Either it wasn't there before or I missed it.
ok closing
