rename files

richreads · 01-01-2013, 05:08 PM

Hi.
I was wondering if there is a way to rename the htm files in the epub automatically.
For instance i have gone though an epub file with Sigil and corrected some errors.
To neaten up the book and create the TOC correctly I combined every other file in the the next one.

This has ended up with the files named
split_002.htm
split_004.htm
split_006.htm
and so on.

Is there a way to automatically rename all the htm files?
I know I can rename manually but was hoping there was some easy way to do it.

Rename them to what?

There is a mass rename function. Just highlight all the files in the book browser and then right-click on them and choose "rename." You'll be able to choose a base name and a starting number which will automatically increment.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanx for the quick reply.
