[DOCS] {historic} file path bindings

Post by rednoah »

The {historic} dynamic binding will give you access to the original file path from the local rename history for the file at hand.


e.g. previous file path:

Format: Select all

{ historic.f }

e.g. previous folder path:

Format: Select all

{ historic.folder }

e.g. previous file name:

Format: Select all

{ historic.fn }

e.g. you can use the {historic} binding in combination with --file-filter to select only files that have not yet been processed and thus don't yet have a record in the local rename history:

Groovy: Select all

none{ historic }


{historic.f} is particularly useful for -exec expressions that need to access the previous file path (as opposed to the new current file path) for newly processed files:

Shell: Select all

-exec /path/to/script.sh {f} {historic.f} {json}
