Autofilename Sublime Text 3

Autofilename is a Sublime Text 3 plugin that allows users to quickly rename files. It provides the ability to automatically rename a file to a specific format. By default, the plugin uses the date and time of the file's creation, but it can be customized to use any other format. The plugin also allows users to save the current state of the file, so that they can quickly revert back to the original name if necessary.

The plugin is easy to use and can save you a lot of time if you often need to rename files. To install the plugin, open Sublime Text 3 and go to the "Package Control" menu. Then type "Autofilename" in the search box and choose the plugin from the list. To activate it, press "Ctrl+Shift+P" and type "Autofilename". Next, you can customize the plugin by clicking the "Settings" option in the "Package Control" menu. Here, you can customize the format of the filename, as well as other options.

Once you are done customizing the plugin, you can start using it. To rename a file, simply select it, right-click and choose the "Autofilename" option. The plugin will then automatically generate a filename based on the format you specified. You can also use the plugin to quickly rename multiple files at once. To do this, select all the files you want to rename and then right-click and choose the "Autofilename" option. The plugin will then generate a filename for each file and save the changes.

The Autofilename plugin can also be used to quickly create a new file. To do this, simply press "Ctrl+Shift+N" and type in the filename. The plugin will then automatically generate a filename based on the format you specified. This is a great way to quickly create files without having to manually type in the filename.

Overall, the Autofilename plugin is a great way to quickly rename files and create new ones in Sublime Text 3. It can save you a lot of time and make it easier to work with multiple files. If you often need to rename files or create new ones, then this plugin is definitely worth trying out.

// This is a sample JavaScript code

let filename = "sample.js";

// Use Autofilename to generate a filename
let autofilename = Autofilename.generate(filename);

// The generated filename will be in the format "date-time-filename"
console.log(autofilename);  // Will output something like "2021-01-31-10-23-sample.js"
