Using the GUI

If you are not a programmer and wish to simply use the GUI, go to the Releases page and download the exe of the latest version – then run it. Note that Windows SmartScreen might block it due to it not being popular and signed.

Using the CLI

usage: InstantRenameCLI.py [-h] [--format FORMAT] [--dvrval DVR] [--dvrpath PATH] [--nodvrpath PATH] [--spacechar x] [--simulate] [--skip-validate]
