1.0.0 AppImage crashed on my Arch system, could be a change in system's gtk, see here This encourages me to build from source and work on this idea. First of all the 1.0.2 AppImage is working on my system.

The actual code is quite trivial: https://github.com/leesei/Simplest-File-Renamer/commit/e789ea8a97610cdb54d726a58b768eb5d1fa38e2

Caveat:

  • I only tested in AppImage on Linux. I don't know how to pass these parameters to npx electron . --serve, the process.argv.slice() offset is different.
  • Only files are handled, directories are ignored like the UI's file dialog

Really cool! Thank you! I will try to find some time in the next month or two to try it out. Meanwhile - please open a PR with your code change so I can merge it in once I test it on my side 🤝
