renameutils

The renameutils suite provides a collection of command‑line tools that streamline batch file renaming and copying. Its core programs—qmv, qcp, imv, icp and deurlname—let users edit filenames in a text editor or directly in the terminal, then apply the changes as moves or copies. qmv writes the current directory’s names to a temporary file for bulk editing, while qcp performs the same operation but copies files instead of moving them. imv and icp offer interactive, readline‑based renaming and copying without leaving the shell, and deurlname cleans URL‑encoded characters such as “%20” from filenames.

These utilities are written in C and distributed under the GNU General Public License, targeting users who need fast, scriptable renaming workflows on Unix‑like systems. They are intended for developers, system administrators, or anyone managing large numbers of files who prefers text‑editor‑driven batch operations. The tools are considered stable, though they are labeled beta quality and include a dummy mode for safe testing.
