Yarr - My opensource Electron based file renamer - Shmackie - 2020-04-12 Hi all, I used to use "The Renamer" a lot. It was so helpful being able to have a tool that could quickly look up metadata based on scraping info from a file name. However one day it broke: "The Renamer" just couldn't find info for any of the files I was trying. I figured that something changed in the places it was trying to get it's metadata from. But when I tried to look and see if I could correct the problem with "The Renamer" or find out if it was being updated, I couldn't find any information. It wasn't opensource and I couldn't find a place where I could alert the maintainer. So I decided that, as a side hobby to learn JS and Electron (I chose this runtime because of it's inherent cross-platform compatibility) I would build my own. After lots of procrastination and delays, I finally have a version that I don't mind sharing with the outside world without extreme embarrassment. https://github.com/jcmackie/yarr. What it does:
I've chose to license it in GPLv2. Even though it's a bit more restrictive, I've chose to make this source code freely available to anyone who wants to use or improve it so I think that others who base their work off mine should do the same. Thanks for reading! |
