File Renamer
File Renamer is a free desktop application for batch renaming files on Linux and Windows. It is described as Free, Libre, Open Source Software under the GPL-3.0 license, with a free plan priced at free. Its documented workflow covers listing files, previewing changes, and viewing renamed files. The project wiki provides portable installation instructions for Linux and Windows and says this method needs no root or administrator permission. It also documents installation through pip with `pip install io.github.flossapps.file-renamer`, followed by the `file-renamer` command to start the app. Portable installation is reported as tested with Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop, Ubuntu Desktop, and Windows 11. Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS requires `libxcb-cursor0`. Other desktop systems, including macOS, may work through pip but are untested.
