Rules: search/replace, regex, prefix, suffix, counter (with padding), case, extension. An optional **name pattern** can replace the current name using placeholders: `{Artist}`, `{Title}`, `{Album}`, `{Track}`, `{Year}`, `{Genre}`, `{CreatedDate}`, `{TakenDate}`, `{ModifiedDate}`, `{Width}`, `{Height}`, `{Name}`, `{Extension}`, `{Parent}`, `{Project}`, `{Counter}`. Dates accept a format (`{TakenDate:yyyyMMdd}`). `{CreatedDate}` uses EXIF Date Taken when that was already read; `{TakenDate}` is the token that reads photo metadata. `{Project}` is the Git repository folder, or the parent folder if the file is not in a repo. **Save pattern** stores a custom pattern in `ui-preferences.txt` (built-in patterns stay in the list: `{Artist} - {Title}`, `{Track:00} - {Title}`, `{TakenDate}_{Name}`, `{CreatedDate}_{Name}`, `{Project}_{Name}`). Collisions and illegal Windows names are caught before enqueue. Completed batches can be undone (**Tools → File Operations → Undo last rename batch**).
Metadata placeholders such as `{CreatedDate}` or `{Width}` are not implemented yet. `{Counter}` and `{Extension}` work.
**Tags…** (select files first) is the Tag&Rename-style editor. **Filename → tags** fills Artist/Title/… from the current names using the same pattern. **Tags → filename** builds new names from tags. **Queue tags** writes ID3 on audio and EXIF (title, comment, creator, date taken) on photos through the File Operations Queue; **Queue rename** queues the new names. Online-only cloud files are skipped so they are not downloaded.

## Move to
**Tools → File Operations → Move to…** or **Move to…** on the item context menu (select items first).
Not a plain “move into this folder”. The destination is a **pattern**. Placeholders expand per file, missing folders are created, then the move is queued.
| Token | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `%filename%` | Name including extension |
| `%filename_noext%` | Name without extension |
| `%ext%` | Extension without the dot |
| `%year%` / `%month%` | Last-write time (`2024` / `08`) |
| `%parent%` | Parent folder name |
| `%source_drive%` | Drive (`D:`) or UNC share (`\\10.0.0.31\media`) |
`{filename_noext}` and the other `{…}` forms work the same.
Plex-style movies: `\\10.0.0.31\media\movies\%filename_noext%` creates `movies\Inception\` and places `Inception.mkv` inside it. If the last segment is `%filename%` or `%ext%`, the pattern is the full destination file path.
Type the path in the text box (or **Browse…**), then click a token to insert it at the caret. **Recent** lists saved patterns; the `\\host\share\…` row is only an example and is rejected if you queue it. **Queue** and **Save** store real patterns in `ui-preferences.txt` (`move-to=`).
If a UNC share or mapped drive is disconnected, Workbench tries to reconnect it (same credentials, no extra prompt). Jobs that still cannot reach the destination wait in the queue; **Retry** re-probes and reconnects. Online-only cloud files are skipped.
