# Useful batch scripts for files and dirs processing



Most batchfiles are equipped with GUI, some intended to be used as templates for further editing.

Most useful are:  



- **dir ffmpeg flac2ogg 48** - converts all .flac within dir and subdirs to .ogg 48 kHz, using [ffmpeg](https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/).  



- **dir OPTIVORBIS ogg** - recompress all .ogg within dir and subdirs, using [OPTIVORBIS](https://github.com/OptiVorbis/OptiVorbis/); saves up to 10% of .ogg size.  



- **dir LibreOffice rtf2docx** - batch conversion of .rtf, .doc, .odt and .fb2 files to .docx using [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/). Overcomes clumsy LibreOffice idea of exporting all files into one dir.  



- **dir AdvZIP docx** - recompressing .docx after *dir LibreOffice rtf2docx* using [AdvZIP](https://github.com/amadvance/advancecomp) gives up to 10% space saving.  



- **dir COMPACT LZX** - Windows only; makes Windows (ver. 8 and 10) compact.exe recompress selected folder and subfolder using LZX filesystem compression. Great for software installations - for modern bloatware compression ratio is typically 2.0-2.7, sometimes higher. No sense to use it on frequently updated docs and stuff - upon editing and saving file gets decompressed back.  



> [!NOTE]

> Windows users may rename forementioned files from .py to .pyw to avoid starting console.  

> Programs *dir COMPACT LZX*, *dir OPTIVORBIS ogg* and *dir ffmpeg flac2ogg 48*, beside having Tkinter-based GUI, are capable to accept command line arguments at start time. Argument is supposed to be a name of folder; in this case program GUI opens right in this folder. If argument happen to be a file, GUI will be opened in folder containing it. You may use it for creating shortcuts like  

> ``pythonw.exe "dir COMPACT LZX.py.py" "%1"``  

> and then simply drag-and-drop folders onto shortcut to open program right where you need it.  

> If argument is absent (e.g., you simply double-click program), program simply opens GUI in default directory and wait for you to browse and point to required location.  



- **dir RENAME untranslit** - batch renaming, intended **for Russian users**. Программа для оптового переименования (batch renaming) файлов с транслитерированными именами обратно с латиницы на русский (кириллицу). Не соответствует ISO 9, словари переименования составлены на основе того, с чем я лично сталкиваюсь.



> [!CAUTION]

> **Будьте крайне осторожны**, не направляйте программу **dir RENAME untranslit** на директории типа Windows или Program Files!



- **dir RENAME unflibusta** - batch renaming of files according to patterns, like replacing underscores with spaces, removing digits, and so on. Edit rules pattern to your need.



> [!NOTE]

> *dir RENAME unflibusta.py* was initially created to batch fix silly filename convention for files downloaded from [Flibusta](https://flibusta.is/) and is supposed to be edited at will as you encounter any other silly file naming scheme.
