# SYPOPSIS: Rename files in folder to match folder.
# CREDIT: Unamed user on superuser or superadmin. If you find this, let me know and I will add you to the credits.
# UPCOMING: Allow for secondary input such as `rename-files-to-folder $MOVIENAME` so not to rename all movies in directory just one or two.
