#Xyplorer rename pdf

Just to make it even more clear, here is the current situation in :Īction: Click on any menu (e.g. In my mind, the behavior should be consistent for menu and context menu, but anyway what was done in was an improvement and I'll take what I can get. It's still not clear to me why we can have this new behavior when clicking away from a menu, but not when clicking away from a context menu (whether that context menu be triggered directly on a file or triggered on the whitespace in the list). Now the behavior I was wanting, which is for the selection to be maintained when clicking back on a single file is at least maintained when clicking away from a menu or when giving focus back to the list. Despite Evolve being so vehemently opposed at the time. Thank you Don for mostly implementing in what I was asking for here in this thread. What happens in is that just the file you clicked on becomes selected. Desired behavior would be to go back to having the files still selected. I will definitely check out this ebook-meta.Elqasar2 wrote: ↑ 18:46An even better illustration of this problem is if you have multiple files selected, pop the context menu for them, change your mind, and then click on any of the files. The tool is kludgy though, and, like xy, you can only make one change at a time (one pass to add files, another for regex changes, and so on.)Īnyhow.

You have to import a third party plug in (it doesn't recognize pdf metadata 'out of the box' like xyplorer does), but after that you can insert the fields into the multi-rename tool. Also noteworthy is that Total Commander actually does bridge the gap between metadata and GUI. Having all the steps prearranged allows you to avoid duplicate names and such. ReNamer is nice because it is 'stepped out' so I could insert metadata with step 1, and then clean it up with regexes in step 2. Iv'e tried to import the tool into the current ReNamer, but have had problems. About 9 years ago (based on my forum search) there was a working set up with ReNamer and an 'xpdf' tool accessed via script. This is actually the first time I've been unable to use it for a job. Other related notes: Over the years, I've always used ReNamer for my bulk rename jobs. Of course this doesn't address the regex concerns addressed above. So it might be possible to, not rename, but save as a more appropriately named copy. And I guess you can set up 'save templates' that automatically inserts various metadata.

Another interesting note is that apparently Calibre can bulk save books from its library. It was only able to 'recognize' a little over half of my books. Anyway, pretty cool that is is able to fetch that extra info. Apparently it does this by saving the imported PDF in a folder along with a metadata.opf file.

I also noticed (as Highend indicated) that Calibre is able to associate more than just the standard PDF metadata with a file. This is because it looks at that metadata, not the file name itself. As it turns out, you can import them, then rename the file on your computer and if you try to re-import the renamed file, Calibre is smart enough to know that it is the same file. the files) before re-importing them to Calibre. I filled up my OneDrive and needed to point Calibre to another cloud location, so I wiped my Calibre database. I've actually had the regular (non-portable) version installed for quite some time but have been experimenting more with it today than ever before.
