detox '(foo)^bar.txt'
# '(foo)^bar.txt' --> 'foo_bar.txt'
detox 'foo&bar/'
# 'foo&bar' --> 'foo_bar'# foo bar
# └── foo1&foo2
# ├── foo bar (copy 1).jpg
# └── foo bar (copy 2).jpg
detox -r 'foo bar'
# foo_bar
# └── foo1_foo2
# ├── foo_bar_copy_1.jpg
# └── foo_bar_copy_2.jpgdetoxwill avoid overwriting if the detoxed name already exists. For example:
tree 'foo foo'
# foo foo
# ├── foo^bar.jpg
# └── foo%bar.jpg
detox -r -i 'foo foo'
# foo_foo
# ├── foo_bar.jpg
# └── foo_bar-1.jpg
