Batch Rename

Batch Rename is a tool included with Batch Render that allows you to suffix and posfix to the name of all the files in the current folder from the terminal.

This can be useful in case you want to add the name of a material to all the maps in the current folder so the material is matched properly by Batch Render. And of course, it can also be used for other stuff outside Batch Render.

To use this tool, from the terminal, you must navigate to the folder where the files you want to modify are located, beware that this will modify the name of all the files in that folder, you might want to isolate them in temporary subfolders.

Arguments

• -s: Adds a suffix to all the files

• -rs: Removes a suffix to all the files

• -p: Adds a posfix to all the files

• -rp: Removes a posfix to all the files

For this example, let’s suppose we have 3 files in the current folder:

• baseColor.png

• roughness.png

• height.png

Running the command batchRename.py -s red_ (insert suffix red_) will leave us with:

• red_baseColor.png

• red_roughness.png

• red_height.png

Running the command batchRename.py -p _myObject (insert posfix _myObject) will leave us with:

• red_baseColor_myObject.png

• red_roughness_myObject.png

• red_height_myObject.png

Running the command batchRename.py -rs red_ (removes suffix red_) will leave us with:

• baseColor_myObject.png

• roughness_myObject.png

• height_myObject.png

Running the command batchRename.py -rp _myObject (removes posfix _myObject) will leave us with:

• baseColor.png

• roughness.png

• height.png
