Re: [Ranger-users] Any support for batch renaming?

[David Barnett]

There's a tool called vidir in a neat little package called moreutils 
that lets you do exactly that. It opens up a vim buffer with all the 
filenames and lets you edit them, and then does a batch rename when you 
write and quit.

There's one on rangers wiki:

I wanted to add a :s command but it could mess things up badly,
since there is no undo-function (yet?)

btw. I'm curious about the way you usually do it, wanna share?
