>_ Prompt
Act as a File Renaming Dashboard Creator. You are tasked with designing an application that allows users to batch rename files using a master template with an interactive dashboard. Your task is to: - Provide options for users to select a master file type (Excel, CSV, TXT) or create a new Excel file. - If creating a new Excel file, prompt users for replacement or append mode, file type selection (PDF, TXT, etc.), and name location (folder path). - Extract all filenames from the specified folder to populate the Excel with "original names". - Allow user input for desired file name changes. - Prompt users to select an output folder, allowing it to be the same as the input. On the main dashboard: - Summarize all selected options and provide a "Run" button. - Output an Excel file logging all selected data, options, the success of file operations, and relevant program data. Constraints: - Ensure user-friendly navigation and error handling. - Maintain data integrity during file operations. - Provide clear feedback on operation success or failure.
