This is great! Thanks ;-)

That simple feature makes GPRename much easier for me
to use. I did not realize how much I needed it.

[Gprename-users] RE : File list refresh

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

Of course it's possible, actually, this Refresh button was
already in the to do :)

It's now implemented in revision 88!

Works like a charm, even if you select a directory and you
delete it then click Refresh.  It's also can be use as a
Unselect All button, which is what I was personnally looking
for.

I also added an error console message, for example if you
try to rename a file but you don't have permission to do it.
It will print "Permission denied" on the console.

So as I said, I've checked out KRename and using backreferences in it doesn't work.
See screenshot attached.

I also tried a simple perl script to try to make it work in another way :
$file='abc5.txt';
$replace = 's/([0-9])/$1/g';
$file =~ $replace;
print $file . "\n";

But even this won't work!  Bottom line : You just can't use it in a script as
$1 gets confused with a perl variable.  Too bad, but since there's more than 1
way to rename files, I don't see it as a problem :-)

I'll add a note in the Tips section that backreferences cannot be used.

[Gprename-users] File list refresh

[Lacrocivious A. <alt...@ya...>]

Would it be possible to provide a means to refresh the
file list when new files are added or removed?

Currently, I accomplish this by clicking on another
directory and then again on the directory I wanted to
refresh. It would be great if the refresh occurred
automatically, or if F5 caused a manual refresh, or if
there was a 'Refresh' button.

Just an idea ;-)

[Gprename-users] Updates - Revision 86

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

Things are fixed now, well, hopefully ;-)

The "Name" and "New Name" column are now not in "courier new".
That was so easy to modify, I just removed a * in the code.

Also the About and Tips window are modified.  Nothing fancy in 
the Tips window, just bold with indentation, but still looks cleaner.

And of course now the install script calls the uninstall script first
before proceeding to the installation.

That is very strange, the "Filter" word is set in all
language files and it do shows on my side.  In the menu
options we can see "Filter ...".  Could you try it again?
Switch to root and run :
cd /root
sh /usr/local/share/gprename/gprename-uninstall.sh
svn co https://gprename.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gprename gprename
cd gprename
sh gprename-install.sh
/usr/local/bin/gprename

That is also strange! Because it's exactly what I have here :>
Like this : 
Keep existing names   ( ) Before the numbers   ( ) After the numbers   (*) No
Or if this is confusing, I could make Toggle Button instead,
3 buttons for each options that can be pressed, only one at a time.

That one is not so strange, we are just using different fonts.
Here, on my desktop, his alignment is perfect.  But I fixed that,
with some Pango magic, there's now bold, italic and even a nice
picture in the About window.

I'll do the same thing for the Tips, it's so much nicer with Pango.
I'll do it probably tomorrow.

True, I'll look into it also tomorrow to see what I can do with it.


Thanks for the comments!

Re: [Gprename-users] Updates - Revision 80

[Lacrocivious A. <alt...@ya...>]

Most impressive!

I applaud your decision to code things for yourself
rather than adding to a dependencies list.

Having the root tree open at start is handy.

Important Suggestion:
The 'Filter' Option has no label in the dropdown list,
only three dots show on my build. The word 'Filter' in
front of the elipsis will probably help people find
the function.

Suggestion:
On the 'Numerical' tab, it might be better to position
the radio buttons for:
'Do not keep existing filenames'
'Keeping existing filenames before the numbers'
'Keep existing filenames after the numbers'
... *in front of* the three descriptions rather than
after the end of each phrase.

Trivial Suggestion:
If the 'Name' and 'New name' column headers in the
filename window could be changed to the same font as
the other menu text, it would provide a more uniform
appearance.

Even More Trivial Suggestion:
In the Help/About window, on my builds the 'Wikipedia'
URL is indented one tab further than the URLs for
'Home Page' or 'Mailing list'. Looks simple to align
them.

[Gprename-users] Updates - Revision 80

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

New updates :

A lot of minor modifications on the user interfaces, I finished reading
the guide "GNOME Human Interface Guidelines", I can now say that GPRename
is following the standard on user interfaces for Gnome.

I added 2 new options :
1) Show path, might be useful when the recursive renaming will be functional.
2) Filter, if someone has a directory containing a lot of .txt, .jpg, .mp3 and
whatever and they only want to rename the .jpg, just type "jpg" in the filter.

And now for the big changes, these took more a lot of time to code, because I
had to re-code all the functions (case, insert, replace, numerical).
They're not noticeable though, only if you look at the source code.

Before, GPRename was using the function SimpleList for the list of files and
directories, but this function is deprecated, it's still working for now but in
future version of GTK-Perl it's not going to be there.  I had the option to use
an external module which is the same as SimpleList, but I don't like the idea of
installing perl, gtk2-perl, glib, gprename and then another perl module.  There's
enough dependencies.  So I had to code from scratch the list of files and directories.

Same thing for the tree, GPRename was using a pre-made function for it, so I deleted
it and re-code it from scratch.

Since I now have a good grasp of the tree and the list I've been able to add the Show
path and Filter option without too much effort.  And to open up the tree at start, but
just for the root directory (i.e. /).

The recursive option and the function to open the tree completely where the user is
calling GPRename will come next.  I'll have to make a few modifications but it shouldn't
be that hard.

Hopefully, since I change the function for the tree and the list, nothing will be broken.
I've tested it as much as I can and it's all working like it was before.

So GPRename 2.1 is almost there, should be out in about 2 weeks.

[Gprename-users] Perl backreferences in GPRename in Replace/Remove

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

> Ooups ... your reply as been "junked" by my mail client
> I was thinking that my question was so stupid that it didn't worth 
> answering ;-)

Not at all, your question is actually one of the most "head scratching" I've
got since I first started coding GPRename !

Thanks for the clarification and the examples, I've searched a lot the internet
for information on this and I've learned what is "backreferences" in Perl
Regular Expression.

Now, here's a little perl script that I've made, if you copy that in a text file
and call it by "perl file" it will produce the result "x = 7"
It's really quite simple, if it match a digit, here the number 7, then print this
number, and it do.  Backreference works perfectly well here.
$x = "7";
$x =~ s/([0-9])/$1/g;
print "x = $x\n";

Now another example, the same thing, but this one's not working.  It will print
"a =", not printing the number 7 :
$a = "7";
$b = "$1";
$a =~ s/([0-9])/$b/g;
print "a = $a\n";

After much research, it looks like that $1 from $b is treated as an empty
variable, so it doesn't print anything.  But if you call $b = '$1'; 
(single quote instead of double quotes), it's going to treat $1 completely 
as a string and print the string '$1', not a backreference, which is what
GPRename is doing, unfortunately.

Here's the GPRename code doing this :
$new_name =~ s/$replace_this/$replace_with/g;
It's a simple Perl Regular Expression using Substitution, which is exactly
the same as the first example, which shoud work the way we want it to, 
not much I can change here.

Someone on #perl on IRC gave me this trick which works :
$g = "7";
$h = "1";
$g =~ s/([0-9])/$$h/g;
print "g = $g\n";
It sure looks strange and is not a standard, but in a shell script, it works!
In GPRename, it doesn't work, it says :
Can't use string ("1") as a SCALAR ref while "strict refs"
Whatever, that way is not clean and useful, so let's not bother with this.

And now I'm almost out of idea on what to do.  I've searched the web a lot and
I didn't found anything useful.  The last thing I tought, was to install KRename 
and see if it works in their software, if it does, then I'll have a look at 
their code and see if I can implement the same thing in GPRename.

Else I will post a note in Help/Tips that backreferences in Replace/Remove
cannot be use.

As for your files, since you said there's another way to rename them, well go
ahead, for now it's the best way to deal with them :-)

And actually, I'd say there's always another way to rename files without
backreferences, so it's not a big loss if I can't implement it ;-)

[Gprename-users] RE : backreferences ?

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

Well, I'm not an expert on perl regular expression and your command almost
looks cryptic to me ;-)

As I understand, you want to switch the "- " to the end of the filename?

If you could provide me with a few filenames examples I'll be able to better grasp
what you're trying to achieve.

What I'm sure of though, is that if you use the Perl Regular Expression checkbox,
the replace/with becomes a normal substitute regular expression like
sed 's/replace_this_field/with_this_field/g'

[Gprename-users] backreferences ?

[Hippo31 <hi...@fr...>]

Hello,
I recently discorered this nice tool and feel it quite useful, but i 
would like to make a replacement like this "s!- (\d+)!\1 -!"
Through gprename i have tried
Replace "- (\d+)" with "\1 -"
and also
Replace "- (\d+)" with "$1 -"

but the displayed result doesn't look like what i was expected

Isn't there possible to use the backreferences in the target space ?

[Gprename-users] RE : gprename command line pars

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

As the changelog says from 2.0 :
Removed         Automatically opening the tree at start (to do)

There's been big changes with the tree starting from 2.0, since we 
were using functions and objects that are now deprecated in gtk2-perl,
I had to replace them with newer functions that are not so easy to use.

So, unfortunately, I had to remove the function to start with a directory
on the command line, this and the recursive function, but it's mark as a
"To do".

Keep following this mailing list and probably in 2 weeks I'll be able to
code completely a new tree and be able to fully understand how it works
and use a directory that was pass on the command line so that GPRename open 
with it.

Stay tune :>

[Johan S. <joh...@wa...>]

Hi,

I have a simple question: How can I pass a directory as a command-line
parameter to gprename? 

I want to start the program as an 'action' from Nautilus and use the
parameter to open with the dir it is launched from. This worked in 1.7,
but not in 2.0. Looking at the scripts I'd say it is possible (even
pass a list of selected files?), but I have not been able to make it
work.

[Gprename-users] updates : revision 55

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

Yet another update :

I added a new option in case change : Only the first letter

Before, we had only the option "Only The First Letter And After" which kind of
worked the same, if you deleted all the character in the entry, it became
"Only the first letter", with one difference though, let's say you have a
mp3 file like that :
01 a song.mp3

And you want the first letter to be uppercase like that :
01 A song.mp3

Well it didn't work because it tried to put in uppercase the zero.  But
my new option parse the string and the first digit that can be put to uppercase
will be changed and every other characters will be put to lowercase.  And it
even works with accent characters with some regular expression magic : \p{Ll}\p{M}*

And I fixed the Entry field in case change, it wasn't auto-preview aware.


p.s. Lacrocivious : if you ever wanna be in the credits, drop me a line, you've been
making good suggestions for improvements :)

[Gprename-users] RE : Re: GPrename 2.1 - revision 53

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

That feature about the selection is so true, it is completely missing.

Though it is not in my power to fix it right away unfortunately ;)

This is something missing from GTK2-Perl, as much as I could find on
google, no one complained about it, you might be the first one to
actually say it.

I've filled a Feature Request on GTK2-Perl for it at :
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1645629&group_id=64773&atid=508621

If the GTK2-Perl ever add this feature, GPRename will have it.

For curiosity, I tried doing this with Nautilus, my file manager in Gnome
and this feature is missing in it, but, of course, that's because all Gnome
applications are coded in GTK2-Perl.

Which is different from Konqueror, that one looks like it's in C++ :

Re: [Gprename-users] GPrename 2.1 - revision 53

[Lacrocivious A. <alt...@ya...>]

The font change is a nice improvement! While the
Courier font is ideal for filenames, it is also true
that it looked crude for the rest of the UI.

One thing I have noticed through several revisions now
is that I am not able to select multiple ranges. That
is, I can select one range with shift-click, but if I
try to select another range with ctrl-shift-click,
only the file at the cursor position is highlighted,
rather than the intended second range.

After the first shift-click range is selected,
additional files may only be added or subtracted using
single-file ctrl-click selection.

If it is possible to use the same sort of
multiple-range file selections as in, say, Konqueror,
it would be a notable improvement.

[Gprename-users] GPrename 2.1 - revision 53

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

Again a few minor updates for the next version, aka GPRename 2.1 :

Modified the Help/About window, no more stuff about the license in it,
just the version, credits and some links.

I replaced all instances of folder/folders to directory/directories to have a
standard.  Both are perfectly fine and can be used to define the same thing,
but directory yields 600,000,000 results compare to 100,000,000 for folders
from google.com ;-)

I changed back the font to : nothing, well, what the user has choosen from
his window manager, which is what all software should do, let the user choose.
But, for the tree and the list of files/directories, this is coded directly
into GPRename and it is in courier new.

The default button in the log button is now the OK one
the version number is now removed from the Title window
all window are now non-modal
This is, of course, all minor, but I'm following the "GNOME Human Interface Guidelines" at 
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/index.html
It's a document telling software developper how to properly code so that your
software follow certain standards.

And last but not least, GPRename is now part of Wikipedia at :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gprename

I also added it to the list at the bottom at :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_renaming

Re: [Gprename-users] another new release

[Lacrocivious A. <alt...@ya...>]

Outstanding, bravo! ;-)

The selection modifications seem to work fine, and I
understand about the new vs old renaming methods.
Given that information, I vote of course for the
faster method, and the conflict list and colors can
wait.

I only used svn to update to rev 44, but I will try to
test the install and icon menu placement on another
system in the next few days.

Thank you for your continued polishing of this
utility.

[Gprename-users] another new release

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

Again, I replaced gprename-2.0.tar.bz2 with a new one, the last one had
an invalid URL for the pixmaps and at the same time I added a new file :
gprename.desktop, install the new one, reboot and you'll have GPRename with
the pixmap icon in your Application menu (here in Gnome it shows in Other).

[Gprename-users] new gprename2.0 replace with a newer one

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

I just finished doing the improvements with the selection.
If you select lines and try to rename but it doesn't work
because a file already exist then your selection will keep
being selected.  I replace gprename-2.0.tar.bz2 with the one
I just finished at :
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40094&package_id=32230

I made some minor modifications, like it will now install
in /usr/local/share instead of /usr/share

I finished the newest ebuild for Gentoo that I submitted at :
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92225

GPRename is now listed in the Links section of gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net
as a software that use GTK2-Perl, it's the last one at :
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/links
(though right now the link doesn't work)

I changed the screenshot that you see at :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gprename

Finally I change the website to reflect the new GPRename 2.0 at :
http://gprename.sourceforge.net


As for listing all the files that are in conflict with existing files
in a simple message window or showing them with different colors, I 
could have done it easily with the way gprename used to rename files, 
but that way took like 15 seconds to rename 500 files.  For performance 
issue, I'll keep one message window for one error, at least now your 
selection won't disappear ;)

[Gprename-users] Rev 37 changes

[Lacrocivious A. <alt...@ya...>]

The features I've used have worked very well, and
while I can't say I've batched enough files to verify
the speed increase, I can say that the renaming
operations have appeared to be instantaneous.

The switch to courier may not look ss good in the UI,
but a fixed pitch font is definitely an asset in the
actual work areas where the filenames appear, so I
applaud this change.

There is one thing I would like to see, but which I
suspect needs to wait for another release. That is the
handling of multiple selections upon encountering an
existing filename conflict with the selected renaming
operation.

Specifically, if I have chosen a few dozen files to
rename, particularly in scattered groups rather than
contiguous entries, if one or more of the filenames I
wish to rename conflicts with existing name(s), then
upon acknowledging the error dialog I lose all my
selection markers. This means I have to reselect,
avoiding the conflicting file.

If there was another conflicting name beyond the
first, then I will get another conflict error on my
second attempt, and so lose my selections again. This
repeats until my selections no longer contain any
conflicting filenames. Sometimes this takes quite a
few selection passes ;-)

At some point, it would be useful to provide a dialog
which lists *all* the conflicting files within the
selected range(s). Further, upon aborting the rename
operation, it would be useful to retain the selection
highlights so that the offending files can be
deselected either singly or in ranges, just as they
may have been selected in the beginning, singly or in
ranges.

Perhaps the conflicting files might be highlighted
differently from 'normal' selections in the list,
making it more obvious which ones need deselecting.

I suppose this requires a level of temporary retention
beyond that presently used, and therefore may be an
extremely non-trivial piece of coding to change.

Overall I am very pleased with GPRename 2.0 and have
adopted it into my 'cold dead fingers' list of
utilities... meaning 'you'd have to pry this tool from
my cold dead fingers' to take it away from me ;-)

[Gprename-users] new revision 37

[Zurd <zu...@ya...>]

Another good update : 

I changed the way it renames, it is now much much more faster.  I've
been able to rename 1200 files in 3 seconds, if you remember before it
was about 400 files for 15 seconds.  For this I changed the way GPRename
check if a file exist before it renames and I saw that from revision 32
to 36, this function was not working and it will overwrite files, so
be sure you're not using one of these versions, very dangerous!

Now it's all good, it will not overwrite any files, unless you use the new
option I added : Disable security check.  Only use this if you rename the case
on a VFAT partition (Windows), adding this option is the only good way I
found to rename the case on a windows partition.  Because perl says that
file "a" and "A" are different on linux but says that "a" and "A" are the same on
a vfat partition, which is true but makes gprename unable to rename the case.

I also added an automatic resize of the names columns, no more resizing with the
mouse now, it's very neat.

I change the font to courier new everywhere, I hope people like it. When renaming
files a monospace font is quite useful to find unwanted extra spaces.

I modified the way it print to the log file, it's easier to read now.

Finally, for the translators, I added str_options_security in the language file
and I modified str_tips so that it can match with the new Tips dialog window.


So I think that sums it up for the changes I wanted to do before releasing GPRename 2.0,
the official ones.  I tested as much as I can and everything works the way it should,
if you can test it and gives me some feedback it'll be appreciated so that I can release
it.
