16 A GUI renaming tool with many powerful functions. Well suited for those
17 that need to rename many files and/or folders on a regular basis. In
18 addition to general usage operations, it is useful for photo and music
19 collections, webmasters, programmers, legal and clerical, et cetera.
20
21 There is support for automating GUI tasks via command line, using the
22 options described below.
23
24
26 There are two modes for options.
27
28 In the first mode, the only available option is a path to open. It is
29 simply passed as the only argument to the command, spaces may be used.
30 This mode cannot be used with any other options.
31
32 In the second mode, all options can be used but the option type must be
33 declared. This is similar to almost all Unix type commands. A path to
34 open would be specified using '-p', and spaces must be escaped.
35
36 Modes are switched automatically, based on the structure of the
37 options.
