Bulk rename #101

Open shahrukhamd opened 5 years ago

shahrukhamd commented 5 years ago

Can we have an option to select multiple pictures at a time and rename them with the help of a pattern which includes timestamp.

IMG%Y-%M-%D%h.%m.%s

puregallery commented 5 years ago

I will give this a shot soon...if the changes doesn't seem to affect much of the stability, I will push it.

Can you help clarify the format you mentioned here?

Lets say we have 3 images pic1 pic2 pic3 After the rename, should they be IMG_2019_05_10_2_23_21 IMG_2019_05_10_2_23_22 IMG_2019_05_10_2_23_23

If the disk/SdCard is fast enough, the app will possibly rename multiple images on the same second. I don't know if hms is a good enough abstraction here...I will try to add milliseconds there too.

Hey there,

Thanks for replying to this request. Let me start by saying that even though there are tons of gallery apps out there, I liked yours. Second the staggered grid layout really stands out.

About the bulk rename feature, it should be something like the one “QuickPic” has. The user should be prompt with a dialog of editable text with a regrew pattern like IMG%Y-%M-%D%h.%m.%s

Patterns like this can be editable by the user as he please. For example, a user can enter patterns like this and so the corresponding file will become: IMG%Y-%M-%D%h.%m.%s   - IMG_2019-08-1223.11.34 ABC%Y%M%D          - ABC_20140415 %h.%m.%s-12345       -  20.13.56-12345

I thin you got the idea. Also the prompt dialog should have some help text for the user so that s/he know what %Y, %s, %M means.
