[Question] batch/bulk rename and relocate of files

I have an entire database that has several hundred entries where the files are in a ‘new downloads’ folder. I want to rename these files and move them to new folders in bulk.

I already know how to do it one-by-one with all the super-useful jabref fields for subdir etc. via the ‘move file to directory and rename file’ option under the general tab in the editor window.

How do I get jabref to do this on all the files at once?

Hi,

this can be done in the Cleanup entries dialog under Quality → Cleanup entries.

There is an option for Rename files and move files
