Renaming file and folder from command line

[arielreyes001]

is it possible to do this from the command line? I am currently using this to rename files from a button in my Directory Opus (file manager) toolbar:
C:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot -rename {F} --format "{n} ({y}) [{vf}]" -non-strict
How can I do the same for the folder that the same file currently resides in. Or even on its own, what's the command so that it only renames a folder, not a file?

I'm thinking this would work:
C:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot -script fn:renall "path/to/movies" -non-strict --db TheMovieDB --def target=folder
However I don't know how to make the "path/to/movies" dynamic. Meaning I want to run this script on the selected folder, or the parent folder of the selected file. Is this possible?
Thanks,
AR

I think I answered this one before. The answer is yes. But if you need help with 3rd party tools please check with said 3rd party tools for help.

Great! What is the command from the command line?

1.
Move files into new structure, as defined by your format. I recommend using absolute paths but relative paths will work as well and will be resolved against the location of the original file.

Code: Select all

../{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}) [{vf}]

2.
Delete remaining folder. You may want to use the cleaner script for that.



That's how I'd do it. The exact cmdline calls you have to write yourself.

So is it the -rename command?
