Usage:
./appendfilename.py [<options>] <list of files>
This tool inserts text between the old file name and optional tags or file extension.
Text within file names is placed between the actual file name and
the file extension or (if found) between the actual file namd and
a set of tags separated with " -- ".
Update for the Boss <NEW TEXT HERE>.pptx
2013-05-16T15.31.42 Error message <NEW TEXT HERE> -- screenshot projectB.png
When renaming a symbolic link whose source file has a matching file
name, the source file gets renamed as well.
Example usages:
./appendfilename.py --text="of projectA" "the presentation.pptx"
... results in "the presentation of projectA.pptx"
./appendfilename.py "2013-05-09T16.17_img_00042 -- fun.jpeg"
... with interactive input of "Peter" results in:
"2013-05-09T16.17_img_00042 Peter -- fun.jpeg"
