Running Rubex on a Mac

If you try to open Rubex on a Mac you will get the following error:

In order to open the software, you will need to find Rubex in your applications folder. Press "Ctrl" while you left click on the Rubex app. A dialog box will open as shown below. Click on "Open".

A popup will show on the screen as shown below. Click on "Open". This will add a security exemption to Rubex.

Bulk Renaming files (and moving into subfolderds) for upload into Revver

Rough steps:

Export file list into a spreadsheet

• Open Powershell and navigate to the directory

• Dir | Export-CSV content.csv -NoTypeInformation

• Open in a spreadsheet and remove the unneeded columns
• Do a find and replace to rename any files
• The left column should have the original file name and the right column should have the new file name

Download Bulk Rename Utility

• Download Bulk Rename Utility - https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Download.php
• Actions>Import Rename-Pairs>Import Rename-Pairs - Note; It looks like this can be done in f2. That is probably the better option.
• Most basic stuff can be done here. Folders and subfolders should be done in f2

Download f2 Renamer

• Download f2 - https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2
• Navigate to the area you need to rename and add files to subfolders. The following example uses underscores to specify where the subfolders go.

  • f2 -f '([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*.txt$' -r '$1/$2/$3{ext}'

• The command above just does a test run to check. You need to add -e (or something) at the end to execute.
