how can you identify season from the file name?
One approach: Look up what TV show has 291 episodes; land on this Wikipedia page which gives you the season lengths.
good and fun idea ;)
I use KRename for renaming multiple files.
+1 for krename, otherwise if the new filenames are complex and should be calcolated I use python
I second krename. Works flawlesly for me.
Why not just do this with a for loop in the terminal? I don’t think you need to over complicate it by downloading another program.
Dolphin has that ability built in. If you use it, highlight all of the episodes and press f2. Pretty self explanatory from there.
Please don't use spaces in your *nix filenames, that is just bad. To answer your question, use a bash script. Chatgpt can probably even make it for you if you don't know how to write it.
There are various GUI tools (eg., gprename, krename) but I prefer qmv, a CLI tool from the renameutils package. It opens filenames into a vim (or your default editor) session, with which you can use global regex search/replace commands to rename files.
krenamer can do this. It just is a regex front end. You could do it with a shell script too.
