How do I rename folders and files in their current locations?

I'm using NFS shares and even with no output directory specified, its adding ~/Desktop unless I edit the expression each time to include an output folder.

Are you using the GUI or the CLI?


What is your custom format? If CLI, what is your command-line?


Note that the behaviour you seek is the default. If your --format generates a relative path, then that relative path is interpreted relatively to the current parent folder for each file at hand, unless a different --output folder (CLI only) is specified explicitly. See Video Tutorial #1 at 23s at for example.


I recommend using a --output (CLI only) or a --format (GUI or CLI) that generates an absolute file path. You can use bindings such as {drive} or {folder} to generate different absolute file paths depending on the file at hand. See Q: Can I move files? for details.
