Remove special characters

If you are in search of a tool that can effectively rename all files and directories including subdirectories and remove or replace special characters, then you should consider the "Remove special characters" service menu. The tool is designed to generate names that are compatible with MS-DOS FAT16 and URL (RFC 1738). It achieves this by removing all characters different from A–Z, 0–9 and $-_!'().

For instance, a file named "Fichier d'�criture".txt will be renamed as "-_Fichier_d_ecriture_-.txt". The best part is that users can edit the rm_special_char.py to change the new characters to suit their specific needs.

To install the application, simply put rm_special_char.py and rm_special_char.desktop in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus. If you encounter any challenges during the installation process or want to give feedback regarding the tool's performance, do not hesitate to reach out to the development team for assistance or to suggest improvements.

Overall, the "Remove special characters" service menu is a handy tool for users looking to effectively manage their directories and files and ensure that they comply with MS-DOS FAT16 and URL (RFC 1738) standards.
