Szyszka is Polish word which means Pinecone.
Why such strange name?
Would you remember another app name like Rename Files Ultra?
Probably not.
But will you remember name Szyszka?
Well... probably not, but when you hear this name you will think of this app.
I know that on Linux, which I primarily use, there is a lot of good file renamers (even more on Windows), but I coulnd't find any that would suit my needs.
Available apps install a lot of dependencies, work slowly or just have very bloated UI.
