Part of GUI Hub Essentials.
Nothing is renamed until you tick “Apply changes”. Run once to preview the table of old → new names.
Reverse the most recent rename applied in a folder.
GUI Hub gives your assistant these 2 tools. Install it once (below) and ask in plain words.
| MCP tool | What it does | Inputs |
|---|---|---|
| f2_rename | Bulk-rename files in a folder by find & replace (regex unless literal=true; variables like {%03d} counter and {ext}). Without apply=true it is a dry run that returns the old→new table — show it to the user before applying. | folder* string find* string replace string literal boolean ignoreCase boolean recursive boolean dirs boolean hidden boolean apply boolean |
| f2_undo | Undo the most recent rename that was applied in this folder. | folder* string |
* required
