The problem is that they name the file with a strange number (most likely an inventory index or similar)

So I created this script to rename the files so that they are easier to find in a folder full of similarly named epubs. It works by zgrep’ing for the title field in the .ocf file

Usage

list

repackt list $STRING - show all files that have $STRING in their name

dry

repackt dry $STRING - dry run show the moves that would take place for all files that have $STRING in their name

epub

repackt epub $STRING - rename all files that have $STRING in their name

Example Usage

repackt epub 978

this will move a file called 978132434345.epub to TheProperTitle.epub and any other files which match the $STRING
