CLI utility for naming files created by other CLI utilities

Labelmaker

Labelmaker is a utility for naming files created by any commandline utility. It runs the specified command and opens a modal to enter a name for the file created by the command. Labelmaker is primarily designed to name screenshots taken with ImageMagick's import utility.

Use

Labelmaker takes a command, an output path, and a filename with template strings. The two supported template strings are <name> and <timestamp>. <name> will be replaced with the value typed in the name entry modal and <timestamp> will be replaced with the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Example

labelmaker --command import --path ~/screenshots --name "<timestamp>-<name>.png"
