To create the application’s GUI, you’ll use Qt Designer.

Update the application’s GUI according to the file renaming process progress.

Provide the functionality to load and rename multiple files.

To build the application, you’ll need to take the following steps: It’ll allow you to load several files from an existing directory and rename them using a descriptive filename prefix and consecutive numbers. Your bulk file rename tool will be a fully functional GUI application. Get the Source Code: Click here to get the source code you’ll use to build a bulk file rename tool with Python in this tutorial. To download the project’s directory structure, click the link below: You’ll see how to create these two files with Qt Designer and pyuic5 later in this tutorial. Go ahead and create this directory structure with all the files and modules except for window.ui and window.py.

window.ui holds a Qt Designer file that contains the code for the application’s main window in XML format.

You’ll see how to generate this file using pyuic5. window.py contains the Python code for the application’s main window._init_.py enables ui/ as a Python package.It’ll contain the following files and modules: The ui/ subdirectory will provide a package to store GUI-related code. views.py provides the application’s GUI and related functionalities.rename.py provides the file renaming functionalities.app.py provides the PyQt skeleton application._init_.py enables rprename/ as a Python package.

Then you have the rprename/ directory that will hold a Python package with the following modules: rprenamer.py provides an entry-point script to run the application.requirements.txt provides the list of external dependencies for the project.Having a README.md file for your project is considered a best practice in programming, especially if you’re planning to release it as an open source solution. README.md provides a general project description and instructions on installing and running the application.Here, rprename_project/ is the project’s root directory, where you’ll create the following files:
