KRename

What KRename is

KRename is a free Linux application for batch-renaming lists of files. It uses expressions to rename files and can also copy or move them. The application supports metadata-based and folder renaming, undoing changes, and many conversion operations. Linux installation options listed by KDE include Discover and other AppStream application stores, a distribution’s package manager, and Flathub. Flathub identifies KDE as the publisher and describes KRename as community-built open-source software; the application is listed under the GPL-2.0 license. Flathub lists x86_64 and aarch64 architectures. The KDE page links to KRename’s source repository, a forum for help, and a bug tracker for reporting issues. Its latest listed release is version 5.0.2, dated 2022-08-31. KDE’s general privacy policy says its software does not usually transfer information from a user’s device unless the user takes an explicit action. Any telemetry, where included, is opt-in and disabled by default. KDE advises checking with third-party distributors because they may modify software in ways that affect privacy behavior.
