You can use the evaluator in the advanced rename tool to insert text returned by the evaluation.
Use the {= ... =} code to insert an evaluation expression. The return value of the expression is inserted into the new filename.
In this evaluation context, the following variables are available:
| Variable | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
column name |
varies |
All the column keywords are available as variables in this evaluation context. Note that some keywords may use characters like a : that aren't valid in variable names - to access them, use the Val function. Additionally, the rename-specific keywords like parent and parentbase are supported. |
file_name |
string |
Returns the full name of the file the expression is being run for. This may be different from file which (as a column keyword), returns the value of the Name column (which e.g. may have file extensions hidden). |
is_dir |
bool |
True if the expression is being run for a folder, false if it's being run for a file. |
oldname |
str |
The value of the "old name" field. |
newname |
str |
The value of the "new name" field. |
The return value should be a str that will be inserted into the new filename.
