[Request] auto fill/correct file names when renaming

Post by *CWempe »

Hello,

I want to scann all my private documents to get a "paperless home".
As suggested in this (german) blog, I will name my documents files like this:
"20170331 Bank Sparkasse Kontoauszug.pdf"

To prevent typos and make writing the filename easier I was wondering if there is a plugin that could help me.

Maybe I would even consider developing a new plug-in myself . (never done this)

My idea would be like this:
  • (manually) create a text file (like ".keywords") with all the keywords I want to use
  • add new keywords to the list automatically
  • use a variable like "%d" for the current date
  • Maybe save the last used date in another variable ("%l")
  • When renaming a file, I want o start typing and then the plugin should list all keywords that beginn with the letters I typed. (like auto correct)
I created a mockup:

Does something like this already exists?
Any Plugin that could be used for something like this?
Is this even possible to achieve with total commander?
