Feature Request: Rename files #49

Open zerodayz1 opened 7 years ago

zerodayz1 commented 7 years ago

The current version does not allow renaming of files. Or it does not work as expected. It just appends a new folder and moves the incorrectly named file into the folder it created. The folder that is created is the name that you wanted the file called.

I know that rclone did not support file renames, hence the behaviour I guess, but with the latest rclone version (v1.36) file renames work using the moveto command.

Can this function please be implemented into rclone Browser. That would make it the ultimate tool to manage a headless server.

Many thanks for all the great work on the project.

Please implement this feature.

Would be even better if it can work with external applications like FileBot, either directly or by reading a .txt file generated by it, or if you don't want that much work, just add a option to run custom scripts so we can do this by ourselves ( e.g a custom script that will rename a lot of files at once, move or whatever )

@Nott: This GUI is really not for automating or running scripts. GUI is for clicking around with mouse. If you really want to run scripts, just use rclone command-line tool directly. It's great for scripting (run it, get an output, and pass to script). There's no point of duplicating this functionality of rclone in GUI.

I understand but seeing is believing.

Working with a GUI, even if I'll be using custom scripts to do a lot of renames, moves or whatever at once is still better than working with a headless server. But I understand if you don't want to do it.

Where are we with further dev of this great tool? Seems to have gone stale. Don't let it die!

Will this be implemented/updated for the latest rclone?
