File renaming utility with specific requirement

[deltaforce]

I have a certain folder structure to store my research articles. I am looking for a utility that will rename/append the file name with the name of the folder, including parent folder upto 2 levels up.

This should be the set rule and as soon as I put any file in that folder, it automatically appends the file name without me invoking any command or program.

I wonder if there is any such utility available.


If not,
which renaming utility will let me do that by invoking once in a while, and ignore the files that have already been appended.

Thanks in advance.

While I don't think such utility exists, I believe someone proficient with Powershell could come up with a script that would do it.

I think you'll to write a custom script for that.

Should be trivial in Perl or Python. But you may have to run it manually or on a timer

Maybe Bulk Rename Utility ...would do what you want to?

I've been using Better File Rename for a couple of years now and am extremely happy with it.

The easy way to do it is to write a script which does what you want (trivial in any language - PowerShell is the obvious choice since Windows comes with it), and use the Windows Scheduler to run it silently once a minute or so.

I have always used a program called Advanced Replace Tools which sounds similar to what you might need.
