Sublime Bulk Renamer

Sublime Bulk Renamer (sbr) allows you to bring the power of Sublime Text to… rename files in a directory.

Heavily inspired by oil.nvim and nnn's batch renamer. If you haven't used those, a video is perhaps the best way to introduce it:

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d457768d-2ce0-40ad-8a40-f22da839e094

Features

  • You can do basically anything that Sublime and Python's Pathlib support.
  • Handles cycles and chains gracefully, so you can swap the name of two files without worrying about data loss or overridding them accidentally.
  • This also allows you to quickly open Sublime Text to bulk rename the current directory from your terminal, for example (Linux/OSX):
subl --command 'sbr_bulk_rename_in_dir {"dirs": ["'"$(pwd)"'"]}'

Limitations

  • Unlike oil.nvim, this package does not allow creating or deleting files. This is intentionally not considered and is very unlikely to get added later on.
  • Since sbr uses the # character for comments in the View that gets opened for renaming, the end state of a directory can't have any children whose name begin with #. Sorry! I might add escapes (\#) at some point if anyone really needs it.

Future work

  • add confirmation prompt on exit (settings-based)
  • add visual indicators of file vs dir, maybe with annotation with the original name
  • bulk rename including subdirectories, with configurable default depth
  • (maybe) add side bar menu item for files, to bulk rename parent dir
