GUI

The user interface of PolyRename was designed to be simple to use, unlike many other bulk-file rename tools. It’s GUI interface is divided into 4 quadrants.

At the top right is the File Picker. The file picker is used to select files on the user’s computer, and to visualize which files (and in what order) are currently selected.

At the bottom left is the Transformation Library. The transformation library is automatically populated with the available transformations. From this interface, the user can select a transformation to begin configuring that transformation.

At the bottom right is the Transformation Config. This interface allows the user to configure the selected transformation before appending the configured transformation to the pipeline. This interface performs error checking to ensure that the user has entered a value for all required fields, and that all entered values are of the expected datatype.

Finally, at the top left is the Pipeline Editor. The pipeline editor shows you the current state of your pipeline, and allows you to modify your pipeline. Modification actions include moving a configured transformation up or down in the pipeline’s sequence or deleting a configured transformation from the pipeline. Finally, this interface allows the user to apply a pipeline to their selected file sequence. Upon pressing the “Apply Pipeline” button, a preview of the resulting file sequence modifications is shown.
