Kita Rename Utility is a highly customizable renaming utlity written in rust. This project was created to fill a gap on Linux where I couldn't find a solid renaming option that allowed the features this project creates.

GUI: egui - An immediate mode native GUI framework.

Files in the root of a drive on Windows don't get listed

• This program was developed solely for Linux at first. Therefore it hadn't occured to me that a user would want to rename files at the root of an drive. On Linux everything is mounted in at least one folder.. This may or may not ever get fixed, unless there's user demand for it.

Being a high level language programmer, my first language was JS (NodeJS -> TypeScript), Rust has taught me a lot about how computers actually do the work under the hood. It's been very fun. On my journy to learn Rust, I wanted to create a meaningful real-world application. This is my first "Full Stack" application, using as many elements from Rust as I could. For anyone interested in learning Rust I suggest giving it a shot! It's been a blast.

I wanted to use something new to give the UI a fresh look instead of going with conventional frameworks like GKT or QT.
