Installing required packages

$ npm install

Open the app in development mode

💡 Features (things that we've managed to handle)

• Functions that handle each renaming rule are dynamically loaded from an external DLL file, written in C#.
• Ability to select all files and folders you want to rename, with drag and drop support.
• A set of whopping 8 renaming rules.
• Ability to save and load rule preset (which includes selected rules, rules' parameters, rules' order) as JSON file, with drag and drop support for loading preset.
• Ability to rearrange rules' order.
• Ability to select which files should be renamed after loading files
• Exceptions handle (duplication, empty or invalid parameters, no rule selected, etc.)
• The result can be previewed by users.
• Ability to create a copy of all the files and move them to a selected folder rather than perform the renaming on the original file.
• Extraodinary UI powered by HTML and CSS (Bootstrap enabled).

❌ Things that we have yet managed to handle

• Some improvements mentioned in the project requirement article that we have yet delivered (no last time save, no autosave, no ability to save and load the work into a project).

💯 Things that should be taken into account for bonus

• The fact that we have finished this project one month before the deadline.
• The fact that we have spent time doing our own research on this framework (Electron) and build this project with HTML, CSS and JS.
• Rules' order can be rearranged seamlessly with drag and drop enabled.
• Exceptions are carefully handled.
• A lot of improvements have been added to our program (JSON preset, copy renamed files to another folder, drag and drop enabled, result preview, etc.)
• A lot of work and research have been put into designing an intuitive and clean UI.
• Ability to select which files should be renamed after loading files

💯 Expected grade

Every single member of our group has devoted immersive workload and research to making this project, so it's best to consider giving everyone a ten.
