Shattered pixel dungeon. Open source dungeob crawler roguelike. Extremely fun.

krename is another excellent, but not as well known as it should be, KDE app.

krename can rename files and directories, and directories recursively, to almost anything. You can rename:

• using information from the files or about the files (image info, date / time info, etc)
• with templates (like #### for incrementing 0001, 0002, 0003, etc)
• by adding parts of the original file name (first three characters then the last 4 characters, for example)
• using find and replace (spaces to underscore, remove special characters, etc), including regular expressions
• by changing case

or with a mix of everything.

krename has a simple mode and an advanced mode for renaming, so you don't have to jump into the deep end with the features.

You do have to be careful with some of the file info functions - it will happily try to rename a movie or a pdf with (non-existent) image EXIF info, for example. That would result in a file with a name you did not intend.

Learned about the mentos thing in 2006. Saw a list of things to flavor coke. This was #4 on the list and I decided to try it (yay mint coke) - at a dollar tree parking lot, in my car. Went off in my mouth and I maintained the pressure until I got the door open and my head out. Thankfully little mess on me or the car. Learned the internet can be full of sneaky assholes that day.

(Not to poop on NewPipe, but this app is better in my opinion, I swapped after their player was bugged for me and I got a bit annoyed on the devs response to not adding SponsorBlock (you can say no to a feature ofc, but he decided to add reasoning that was bad))
