edname: EDitor reNAME

Allows you to rename files using your favorite $EDITOR.

Usage

edname: rename files using $EDITOR.

usage:

 edname <dir or files>
  to rename

 edname --undo
  to undo the last rename (as well as possible)

Operation

1. Index files into .original.edname and .rename.edname (one per line)
2. Call $EDITOR on .rename.edname
3. Rename each file from .original.edname to the name specified on its corresponding line in .rename.edname

Safety

Files are never overwritten. If a conflict exists, that file will be left as-is.

edname also allows undoing the last rename using edname --undo.
