Renaming files - Synology
Renaming files - Synology
I'm trying to remove a string of text from an annoying large list of files that I have saved on my Synology. Read that FileBot could handle this but I'm struggling to find a way how to do this. Basically, I have a lot of files that have a date/time tag on the end of the filename (i.e., * (2019_06_06 2019_07_07).wav). I want to replace this tag with nothing and resave. Is this possible with FileBot Node on Synology?

FileBot Node is not the right tool for the job.
You'll want to use Plain File Mode from your Desktop PC with the FileBot Desktop application to process the files on your remote network share:
You can however use the filebot command-line tool via SSH if you must rename files locally on the NAS:
