Light Novel Namer

A utility that implements the Light Novel Naming Scheme to standardize the naming of light novel files and directories.

Purpose

This tool automatically renames light novel files and directories according to a consistent naming format:

[Author] YYYYMMDD - v01 Title (Publisher - Label) (Retailer) [Extra Information]

It helps maintain organized collections by ensuring:

• Chronological sorting
• Consistent formatting
• Machine-readable filenames
• Preservation of original titles

Usage

GUI (Windows)

• Download the Windows .exe GUI and the latest release of the CLI.
• Ensure that gui.exe and name-ln.exe are in the same directory and that you don't change the name of name-ln.exe.
• Open gui.exe and drag and drop files or directories onto the window, then fill out appropriate fields if necessary and hit the rename button to rename.

CLI (all platforms)

• Download the latest release of the CLI from the releases page for your platform.
