Documentation

Call denote-rename-file-using-front-matter over the Dired marked files.

Refer to the documentation of that command for the technicalities.

Marked files must count as notes for the purposes of Denote, which means that they at least have an identifier in their file name and use a supported file type, per the user option denote-file-type(var)/denote-file-type(fun). Files that do not meet this criterion are ignored because Denote cannot know if they have front matter and what that may be.

Key Bindings

This command is not in any keymaps.
