Description: GwenRename is a series (batch) renaming tool. It was created as an external tool for GwenView, the image viewer for KDE, but it can be used from Dolphin and Konqueror as well. As that, the files to be renamed are passed to it as command line parameters, through the service menu mechanism. It supports EXIF data extraction, file's timestamping and use of profiles.
How to use it: GwenView: select file(s) - right click - "External Tools / Rename with GwenRename" (currently not applicable) Dolphin/Konqueror: select file(s) - right click - "Actions / Rename with GwenRename"Last changelog:
GwenRename 1.1-beta6: ===================== - Fixed corrupted po files - Added Czech (cs) translation, by Pavel Fric - No changes to the source code
GwenRename 1.1-beta5: ===================== - ported to KDE4!!! - Visual ON/OFF switches have been added, so that options can be displayed/hidden. This makes more room for the items list (useful in lower screen resolution) - When screen size is less than 800px, one of the ON/OFF switches will always be off, so that the program window can fit the screen - Fixed the list invertion function - Fixed the compound expressions read/write procedure. Thanks to John Bee - Fixed compound expressions activation on program startup. Thanks to John Bee - Fixed a bug in the list item removal procedure that could lead to a crush when various filename lengths are present
GwenRename 1.1-beta4: ===================== - GwenRename can now be executed without parameters. In this case the user will have to select the folder cotaining the files to be renamed, through the "Folder selection" dialog - A mode selection dialog was added. It will be presented to the user, when a single folder is passed to GwenRename - Files/folders can now be added/removed from the list of items that will be renamed, from within the program, using the ListView context menu - Started writing the user manual. Added help to the program dialogs - Layout changes - Many more minor changes
GwenRename 1.1-beta3: ===================== - Ability to convert underscore/dash to space - Use and manage compound extensions - Layout changes - Added icons to eliminate the icon installation problem. Thanks to Gunther Zilz - Added a link to a Mandriva 2007.1 rpm by Gerardo Bueno (gejobj@gmail.com). For bug reports regarding this rpm please contact its packager
- Fixed a icons installation bug reported by Gerardo Bueno, that would cause conflicts with package gwenview. No ghanges were made to the code
This bug affects packagers only, so if you installed from source, it won't interest you. If you are a packager, please update to this release in order to provide consistent packages for your distro. I am really sorry for the inconvenience
- Updated the link to the Mandriva 2007.1 rpm by Gerardo Bueno. For bug reports regarding this rpm please contact its packager
GwenRename 1.1-beta1.1: ====================== - Added Spanish (es) translation by Gerardo Bueno. No changes were made to the code - Added a link to a Mandriva 2007.1 rpm by Gerardo Bueno (gejobj@gmail.com). For bug reports regarding this rpm please contact its packager
GwenRename 1.1-beta1: ==================== - Added the ability to convert spaces to underscore/dash
This is the first release of a series of beta releases, until I implement all the features I want to add to version 1.1. These features are: - Ability to convert spaces to underscore/dash - added to the current release - Ability to add/remove files to the list of files to be renamed - Ability to select and use part of the original filename for renaming
Each beta release will implement one of these features, and will be released only after it has been thoroughly tested. So each beta release can be considered stable but not "fully featured"

Sure it doesn't lack dependency ???
Hi Droopy159
Sorry for the late answer; I was waiting for 4.6.4 to be uploaded in debian sid...
I can reproduce the error in 4.6.4, although this id not a dependency problem, it's just that the XLS version changed and this caused confusion
Anyways, I managed to compile by changing
DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2-Based
to
DTD DocBook XML V4.2-Based
in doc/index.docbook (line 2)
Hope this works for you too and thank you for reporting this error
Spiros
Hi again cyberbeat
Can you please apply the fix-save-profiles.diff patch and report the outcome here?
In order to apply it, copy it in src/, and execute the command:
patch -p0 < fix-save-profiles.diff

Did you miss declaring a dependency in CMakeLists.txt?
Hi cyberbeat
Sorry it took me so long to reply...
> Did you miss declaring a dependency in CMakeLists.txt?
No, I don't think so...
It works great here (compiled with newly installed kde 4.4.5 on sidux - debian sid)
Hello!!
I've installed your gwenrename app but here the message box it appears after put a directory
"The program could not find some icons that are necessary for its execution. Please check your installation"
After clicking on "Ok", appr launch but it missing icons
I am sorry to hear that...
Can you please provide the following info (execute the commands)?
echo "$KDEDIRS"
kde4-config --prefix
find `kde4-config --prefix`/share/icons/hicolor/ -name "gwenr*"
ls `kde4-config --prefix`/share/kde4/apps/gwenrename/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions
PS. Feel free to contact me by email
Problem solved
KDEDIRS was empty so the icons were installed under /share/... instead of /usr/share/... or /opt/kde/share/... and such. Using the following command solved the problem:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull ..
Unfortunatelly, gwenrename cannot be used by gwenview anymore, because:
- gwenview v. 1.4 is a kde3 app but gwenrename is now a kde4 app, so the paths have changed - the desktop file is in the wrong directory. (but it could be copied there...)
- gwenview v. 2 (kde4) does not use external tools any more - this feature has not been ported yet. So we'll just have to wait on this one :)
The good news is that we can use gwenrename from Konqueror and Dolphin!!!
The short answer is: yes I do :)
The longer answer is that it'll be done after i start using KDE4; and I'm affraid I'm not convinced it can replace KDE 3.5.9 yet...
Hi !
Thanks for gwenrename. As a Beta-version, it works quite good and is a really handy application.
However, there's one problem: I have tried it on a laptop with a screen resolution of 1024x768. The gwenrename windows is too big in vertical size, the OK button is under the panel. My solution is to set the windows as "keep above others", but this isn't very elegant.
Maybe you should redesign the interface of gwenrename to fit smaller screen resolutions. On big screens it works very good, so it shouldn't be changed too much. Maybe lowering the minimum hieght of the file-list would help, at least for 1024x768 screens.
Thanks for reporting. I didn't realise it got so big...
Please download the patch (gwenrename-1024x768-patch.tar.gz), extract it in gwenrename-1.1-beta4, and execute the commands (instructions are included in the tar.gz file):
patch -b -p0 < gwenrename-1024x768.diffmake cleanmake
Then install as usual, for example:
su -c 'make install'
This is a (hopefully) temporary solution until I figure out something more elegant...
A feature I miss with krename or any other renaming tool is a way to massively edit file embedded metadata for formats that support it (mp3, jpeg ...).
It would be really cool to be able to change not to only the title but also exif metadata. Will it be able to ?
Note Reading exif metadata like the shot time would also let the user sort pictures from several cameras (with different naming scheme) in the right chronologic order before renaming them all.=> very usefull when collecting all the pictures after a mariage ;)
I do not think that metadata editing is what a renaming tool should do, so I don't think this is likely to happen
What might happen is sorting by data/time. Then metadata could be used (when exist). But this is something for a future release...
<br>
It's a great and very usefull app -
so I made a package for debian unstable (aka "sid") with Qt: 3.3.8b / KDE: 3.5.9
You can pick it up here:
http://harrys-home.gmxhome.de/gwenrename_1.1-beta4-1_i386.deb

Hi spiros2907.
GwenRename is my favourite app, because I'm amateur photographer and I'm renaming every photo with your utility.
There is only 1 feature I miss: Sorting by date (time). Because, when I'd like to rename photos from different cameras (they 've got different names), I have to sort them manualy.
Thank you for this excellent utility!
I am glad you find GwenRenamet so useful
Sorting by date (time) seems like an interesting feature. I will have it in mind for a future release.
Thanks for the comment
... what do you think the level of effort would be to add into this features like in this renaming utility (windows only :( )
http://www.mediachance.com/free/renamer.htm
The think I really like with this is the ability to essentially edit the file names in a "text editor" sort of format, and then have it just go do it.
Thanks for all the work on this tool! I've used it and appreciate it.

Hi Droopy159 Sorry for the late answer; I was waiting for 4.6.4 to be uploaded in debian sid... I can reproduce the error in 4.6.4, although this id not a dependency problem, it's just that the XLS version changed and this caused confusion Anyways, I managed to compile by changing DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2-Based to DTD DocBook XML V4.2-Based in doc/index.docbook (line 2) Hope this works for you too and thank you for reporting this error Spiros
I modified the file you specified. Now it compiles and works perfectly. Thanks a lot
Could you please fix profiles saving? In a new gwenrename session all my saved profiles are lost.
Hi again cyberbeat Can you please apply the fix-save-profiles.diff patch and report the outcome here? In order to apply it, copy it in src/, and execute the command: patch -p0 < fix-save-profiles.diff
thanks, works now.
I cannot compile it: .. ..

Did you miss declaring a dependency in CMakeLists.txt?
Hi cyberbeat Sorry it took me so long to reply... > Did you miss declaring a dependency in CMakeLists.txt? No, I don't think so... It works great here (compiled with newly installed kde 4.4.5 on sidux - debian sid)
Hello!! I've installed your gwenrename app but here the message box it appears after put a directory "The program could not find some icons that are necessary for its execution. Please check your installation" After clicking on "Ok", appr launch but it missing icons
I am sorry to hear that... Can you please provide the following info (execute the commands)? echo "$KDEDIRS" kde4-config --prefix find `kde4-config --prefix`/share/icons/hicolor/ -name "gwenr*" ls `kde4-config --prefix`/share/kde4/apps/gwenrename/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions PS. Feel free to contact me by email
Problem solved KDEDIRS was empty so the icons were installed under /share/... instead of /usr/share/... or /opt/kde/share/... and such. Using the following command solved the problem: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull ..
Unfortunatelly, gwenrename cannot be used by gwenview anymore, because: - gwenview v. 1.4 is a kde3 app but gwenrename is now a kde4 app, so the paths have changed - the desktop file is in the wrong directory. (but it could be copied there...) - gwenview v. 2 (kde4) does not use external tools any more - this feature has not been ported yet. So we'll just have to wait on this one :) The good news is that we can use gwenrename from Konqueror and Dolphin!!!
do you plan to port this app to qt4/kde4 spiros2907?
The short answer is: yes I do :) The longer answer is that it'll be done after i start using KDE4; and I'm affraid I'm not convinced it can replace KDE 3.5.9 yet...
Hi ! Thanks for gwenrename. As a Beta-version, it works quite good and is a really handy application. However, there's one problem: I have tried it on a laptop with a screen resolution of 1024x768. The gwenrename windows is too big in vertical size, the OK button is under the panel. My solution is to set the windows as "keep above others", but this isn't very elegant. Maybe you should redesign the interface of gwenrename to fit smaller screen resolutions. On big screens it works very good, so it shouldn't be changed too much. Maybe lowering the minimum hieght of the file-list would help, at least for 1024x768 screens.
Thanks for reporting. I didn't realise it got so big... Please download the patch (gwenrename-1024x768-patch.tar.gz), extract it in gwenrename-1.1-beta4, and execute the commands (instructions are included in the tar.gz file): patch -b -p0 < gwenrename-1024x768.diff make clean make Then install as usual, for example: su -c 'make install' This is a (hopefully) temporary solution until I figure out something more elegant...
The patch works, thanks !
A feature I miss with krename or any other renaming tool is a way to massively edit file embedded metadata for formats that support it (mp3, jpeg ...). It would be really cool to be able to change not to only the title but also exif metadata. Will it be able to ? Note Reading exif metadata like the shot time would also let the user sort pictures from several cameras (with different naming scheme) in the right chronologic order before renaming them all.=> very usefull when collecting all the pictures after a mariage ;)
I do not think that metadata editing is what a renaming tool should do, so I don't think this is likely to happen What might happen is sorting by data/time. Then metadata could be used (when exist). But this is something for a future release...
<br> It's a great and very usefull app - so I made a package for debian unstable (aka "sid") with Qt: 3.3.8b / KDE: 3.5.9 You can pick it up here: http://harrys-home.gmxhome.de/gwenrename_1.1-beta4-1_i386.deb
Than you very much for the package. I will update links asap

Hi spiros2907. GwenRename is my favourite app, because I'm amateur photographer and I'm renaming every photo with your utility. There is only 1 feature I miss: Sorting by date (time). Because, when I'd like to rename photos from different cameras (they 've got different names), I have to sort them manualy. Thank you for this excellent utility!
I am glad you find GwenRenamet so useful Sorting by date (time) seems like an interesting feature. I will have it in mind for a future release. Thanks for the comment
... what do you think the level of effort would be to add into this features like in this renaming utility (windows only :( ) http://www.mediachance.com/free/renamer.htm The think I really like with this is the ability to essentially edit the file names in a "text editor" sort of format, and then have it just go do it. Thanks for all the work on this tool! I've used it and appreciate it.
