Imgname

A command line app similar to ImgReName, but written in Rust 🦀, with the ability to convert the name back to the date.

It names the files by making a letter out of the year and the month (2000=A ,2001=B, ...) (January=A, February=B, ...). If the day of the month is less than or equal to 9, it directly uses the number, otherwise it also turns it into a letter (10=A, 11=B, ...). The time value is calculated using hour * 3600 + minute * 60 + second.

This results in a name like AA100000 for 2000-01-01 00:00:00 and ZLV86399 for 2025-12-31 23:59:59. These values are the minimum and maximum date currently supported. Other dates will have non alphanumeric characters in their name.

It also recognizes multiple files with the same name but a different extension, and will move/rename them together. This is useful when you have a JPEG file and a RAW file with the same name.

Usage: imgname [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

  rename       Rename the specified file(s)
