Betaflight Blackbox log renamer

I found it hard to compare different settings I did in the field. So this way you can quickly analyse what settings are different, and rename the files accordingly

Usage: betaflight-blackbox-log-file-rename autorename <mapping> --dry <fileglob>
  mapping example: "simplified_d_gain=slider_d,simplified_pi_gain=slider_pi"

autorename example:
  betaflight-blackbox-log-file-rename autorename "simplified_d_gain=slider_d,simplified_pi_gain=slider_pi" "*.bfl"

Install & Basic Usage

Install using you favourite nodejs package manager.

npm install --global betaflight-blackbox-log-file-rename
# or
npm i -g betaflight-blackbox-log-file-rename

This will show you the difference between all logs found in the target directory. You can use glob-pattern to match any file. This will NOT change the filename yet.

cd ./directory-with-bfl-logs
betaflight-blackbox-log-file-rename autorename "*"

Run dry-run to preview changes

Based on mapping will rename the files to include the values in the mapping. Should be in order that you provide the mapping

undefined will show up when using logs over multiple versions, where some headers aren't available
