Python Bulk File Renamer

A robust and safe command-line utility to rename multiple files at once. Designed with a "Safety First" approach for professionals managing large datasets, photos, or documents.

🚀 Key Features

• Dry Run Mode: Preview all changes before they are actually applied to your files.
• Collision Protection: Automatically skips renaming if the target filename already exists to prevent data loss.
• Extension Filtering: Choose to rename only specific file types (e.g., only .jpg or .pdf).
• Flexible Logic: Add prefixes, suffixes, or perform text replacement within filenames.

🛠 How to Use

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open renamer.py.
3. Configure the rename_files function parameters in the if __name__ == "__main__": block:
   • folder_path: The directory containing your files.
   • prefix / suffix: Text to add at the start or end.
   • target_ext: Filter by extension (e.g., ".txt").
   • dry_run: Set to True for testing, False for execution.
4. Run the script: python renamer.py
