Get rid of those ugly, auto-generated file and folder names with this simple script.
I'm just a guy who loves to learn learn learn! I'm a big fan of minimalist sensibilities, including my coding environment. No need to make things complicated - less is often more.

During my journey of learning Go, I've come across a confusing yet interesting quirk regarding type assertions. I've learned that when running a switch statement on a value's type, you can match a type that is different than the value's declared type...
git diff can be a confusing command to understand. In this tutorial, I aim to demystify the command by clarifying its ambiguities and clearly outlining its syntax so you never have to go "huh?" when it comes to git diff ever again. What is a Diff? In...
I'll be the first to admit: I sometimes have trouble staying focused while coding. Even though my intentions are good, I often still falter at the slightest chance of distracting myself. And to perform well doing intense and precise work such as soft...
We live in an amazing time; the amount of resources available to developers is at an all-time high, and there's simply no excuse to find yourself in the dark when it comes to obtaining the knowledge you need to foster the skills you desire. Udemy is ...
When you export files from Notion, the name of each exported file and folder is appended with an ugly GUID (yuck!):
Place the folder containing your newly exported Notion files into a folder that contains this file: (you'll need to create this file and copy/paste the code below into it)
notion-export-file-renamer.py
import os
import re
file_regexp = r'( \w{32,32}\b)'
def main():
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(os.getcwd(), topdown=False):
for f in files:
f_path = os.path.join(root, f)
subtitute_f_path = re.sub(file_regexp, '', os.path.abspath(f_path))
os.renames(f_path, subtitute_f_path)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
For reference, please note that the folder containing your exported Notion files will be named something like this:
Your working directory folder structure should now look like this:
root/
├─ Export-95fc3bc8-a529-4c39-b414-16d278c7d197/
├─ notion-export-file-renamer.py
Now, Run the Python script from the root dir - again, this script should be placed in the same folder as the folder containing your exported Notion files:
python3 notion-export-file-renamer.py
Success! Your output should look like this:
Enjoy!
