How to rename files

The gitbook integration changes some of the file names and appends "(1) (2) (1)" or something like this. If one fixes that in the GitHub repository, then the next sync rewrites the names again. The only solution we've found so far is manually replacing the images using the GitBook UI: Left to the image you have a hamburger with a "replace" option.

In case GitBook was fixed, with some command line magic, this could be solved:

1. Create a script renaming all images: fd -e png -x bash -c "echo '{}' | sed 's/\([^(]*\)\(.*\).png/mv \"\\1\\2.png\" \"\\1.png\"/' | sed 's/ \.png/.png/'" | sort > fix-filenames.sh. Execute in en/.gitbook. Otherwise, fd does not find any file.
2. Create a script doing the renaming in all .md files: fd -e md -x bash -c "echo sed -i '\"s/assets\/\([^%]*\)\(.*\).png/assets\/\\1.png/\"' {}" > fix-mds.sh.
