Just imagine, how annoying and time-consuming it would have been if we had to share, copy-paste, delete each file or folder one by one. You might download and install KRename v4.0.9-1 () (backported from Pengolin) It seems to work fine on Ubuntu 11.10 and Mint12.Being able to select multiple files and folders is so helpful when you want to share, copy or even delete multiple files. This is known to simply crash and do nothing. In case you are on Ubuntu 11.10, however, currently the repositories will give you a faulty KRename v4.0.7-1.

What I wrote about KRename is true on Ubuntu 10.04.4 32-bit e.g. A first look at KRename inside Krusader seems to suggest that KRename might be at least as powerful as the Total Commander Multirename functionality. But I will in order to find out how well it performs compared to the Multirename Tool built-in to Total Commander. You mark all objects in the new filepanel and launch File => Multirename on the marked filenames.Ĭannot give more details at the moment, because I have not installed KRename, yet. You feed the search result to a virtual filepanel.

Next you would perform a search for the files which you want to rename based on their filename extensions e.g. to achieve your goal using Krusader, you will have to install Krusader plus KRename first. KRename is available inside the Ubuntu repositories, too, just like Krusader.

Yet, in order to perform this multirename operation you must have installed an external programme called KRename () first. Now when I tried, I found out that Krusader can indeed "apply a search result" and display all found objects in a flat list and then apply "Multirenaming" on the list. When I wrote in my previous post that Krusader might be able to do what I could do in Total Commander by using "branchview mode" and then calling the built-in "multirename tool" or by "applying a search result" and then calling the built-in "multirename tool" on the applied list, I had not actually checked out whether the same way would work in Krusader as well.
