Paste prefix (from clipboard) to existing filename

Help & Support

Greetings Opus Team

Is there a way to paste (clipboard) text as new prefixes to existing filenames in a single operation? Scenarios is as follows:

Change from:
Audioboook Title p1.mp3
Audioboook Title p2.mp3

Change to:
Series (1) Audioboook Title p1.mp3
Series (1) Audioboook Title p2.mp3

To perform these tasks, I use the rename pattern below, but it would be ideal to have a one-click solution.

Rename PATTERN="*" TO="{dlgstring|prefix with}*" AUTORENAME

You can use {clip} to insert the clipboard contents to a command line.

Thanks, will try that out.

I experimented with the function and command line, but no luck, thus far.

To rephrase, the proposed usage involves:

a) Selecting files to rename.
b) Pasting text from the clipboard as a prefix into the selected files.
*while adding to, but not replacing the existing file names.

The clipboard text should not conflict since each file has a unique name. Ideally, the rename string could be placed in a button 'function' field.

Rename PATTERN="*" TO="{clip}*" AUTORENAME

That should work as long as the clipboard contents don't contain anything invalid (like quote characters or other things that aren't allowed in file paths).
