renamer's Issues

Support string patterns around increments

Currently --{pre,suf}fix-increment supports a starting index and a formatting width. The input 0503 will produce 0503, 0504, 0505 and so on.

The increments are tacked on at the beginning or end though with no separation from the original file name. 0503file.jpg or file0503.jpg. A workaround is to add a delimiter using a pattern as increments are added after the patterns have been applied.

Support before<digits>after.

Idea

struct Increment {
     /// String template.
    raw: String,
    /// Where to insert formatted digits in `raw`.
    inc_pos: usize,
    width: usize,
    start: usize,
}

The input `-0503@' would yield

Increment {
    raw: "-@",
    inc_pos: 1,
    width: 3,
    start: 4,
}

To avoid ambiguity, prohibit more than one group of digits in args.

Print warnings (or maybe exit prematurely) on "bad" patterns

Some patterns will result in an empty string which will return an IO error. Easy to catch and present nicely.

For some patterns the results will have leading dots. Those files will then be hidden on *nix systems. This is hard to spot without --verbose or --dry-run.
