Synopsis

File name normalizer that renames files and folder removing special characters. Contains a mighty chunk of extra opinionated renaming rules.

Rename schemes

Renaming schemes are stored inside the replacer_schemes.yaml file that contains a list of replace rules. A single rule consists of a regular expression and a replacement. All rules are processed in order from top to bottom. Here is what they look like.

- rx: ä
  nu: ae

- rx: ö
  nu: oe

- rx: ü
  nu: ue

- rx: ß
  nu: ss

- rx: (à|á|â|ã|å)
  nu: a

- rx: (è|é|ê|ë)
  nu: e

- rx: (í|ì|î|ĩ|ï)
  nu: i

- rx: (ò|ó|ô|õ)
  nu: o

- rx: (ù|ú|û)
  nu: u

- rx: ç
  nu: c

- rx: " "
  nu: _

- rx: "[^a-z0-9_-]+"
  nu: _

- rx: (_-|-_)
  nu: _

- rx: "-+"
  nu: "-"

- rx: _+
  nu: _

- rx: _$
  nu: ""

- rx: "([a-z]+)_([0-9]{1,2})$"
