Rename files from a spreadsheet

How to do it

1. Export your sheet as CSVTwo columns: current name and new name. From Excel or Numbers, use File › Export › CSV. Tab-separated works too.
2. Previewrename-cli --csv names.csv ~/Folder/* prints every old and new name without touching anything.
3. ApplyAdd --apply. Files with no row keep their name, or go through a preset's steps if you pass one.
4. Undo if neededrename-cli undo reverses the last batch.

Good to know

• The old name can be a file name or a full path; the new one keeps only its file name, so files stay in their folder.
• Duplicate new names and illegal characters are caught before any file moves. --auto-fix appends " 2" instead.
• A rename log exported from the app is valid input, so you can replay or reverse a batch from a spreadsheet.
