batch rename find/fd files

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

fd pdf ~/Downloads -0 | nnn can be used to show and open files, but batch rename r doesn't work.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would it be possible to make r operate on symlink list to rename target files? seems to be a natural extension of the r function.

Press Left on the symlink and it will take you to the target file. Then rename it.

That's good for an individual file. But if there are hundreds of files from different folders, rename them one by one is tedious. Use find to filter the list and batch rename accordingly is more practical I think.

[jarun]

While it's a regular use case for you, implementing it is roundabout - we have to find each target, add to a new buffer and then rename. Sorry, there is no ROI for us here.

Thanks anyway!

@ixzh this use-case maybe better solved by some dedicated batch-ranamer script/program. There are quite a lot out there, although I haven't used any.

you mean in the plugin listing? Or where can I find? I'm using the default scripts/.nmv.

No, independent ones.

You can try searching for "batch renamer" in github. As I've said, I don't use any so I can't recommend one.
