• hi,
  will this preview and rename pdf's?

  • Yes it does. Update to newest version in the App Store. It does preview PDFs.

• Hi. If I have a lot of existing files named eg: "20180727 Cleaner $85.00.pdf", can your software batch rename them to add a dash between the dates so that the file name becomes "2018-07-27 Cleaner $85.00.pdf"?

  • No, not right now. But you can run this script:

    #!/bin/bash
    ## example usage:
    ## open Terminal
    ## 1. cd to folder with your 20180726 Cleaner $85.00.pdf files
    ## 2. copy renamer.sh to that folder
    ## 3. run bash ./renamer.sh *.pdf
    ##

    FILES=`ls *.pdf`

    find . -depth 1 -iname "*.pdf" | while read f
    do
    echo " - Processing file: \"$f\""
    # take action on each file. $f store current file name

    str_date=${f:0:10};
    str_rest=${f:10:99};

    date_yyyy=${str_date:2:4}
    date_mm=${str_date:6:2}
    date_dd=${str_date:8:2}

    #echo $str_date;
    #echo $str_rest;

    new_file_name="$date_yyyy-$date_mm-$date_dd$str_rest";

    echo "- new file:$new_file_name";

    mv "$f" "$new_file_name";

    done

    ## EOF.
