2.5.2) Building the filename – Advanced Mode
Click here for larger screen shot.
In the advanced mode you can completely create the new filename by entering an expression in the Template text field. The text is constructed by plaintext and by certain tokens. Tokens are KRename commands or keywords with a special meaning. All commands or listed in the dialog which pops up when pressing the Functions... button.
Of course you will see that the real time preview below is updated immediately as soon as you change the template string.
Contrary to the beginners mode, you can also change the file extension of the file in the advanced mode. By default KRename will use the extension of the input file, but if you click on the Use extension of the input file check box you can build the file extension in the same way by using tokens as the normal filename. You might also want to specify from which point the file extension should start. This is useful if you are working with filenames like mybackup.tar.bz2 or backup01.05.2004.zip. In the first case you want the extension to start on the first dot (i.e tar.bz2 is the extension) and in the latter case the extension should start on the last dot so that zip is used as fileextension.
So how is the template build up? It is quite easy: Just add a textstring and a few tokens, e.g.: "wallpaper ##" will result in filenames: "wallpaper 01", "wallpaper 02" ... . "wallpaper" is no known KRename token, so KRename will leave it as it is. But the "#" stands for a number in KRename so it will be processed and replaced by a number. The more #'s you add after each other, the more leading 0 you will get (see number of digits in beginners mode).
