Concatenate multiple document files into one output treating each as a page
Command:
ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf --concatExpected Output:
- One combined markdown file:
Heunisch_combined.mdin.ocr/directory - Page headers added: "### Page 1", "### Page 2"
- All images from both files extracted with unique prefixes (page1_1.jpg, page2_1.jpg)
- Image descriptions included for all images
- Metadata shows both source files and original filenames
Key Test:
- Files concatenated in order specified
- Each page retains its complete content (text, tables, images)

- Output saved in
.ocr/subdirectory of first file's location
Test file with informative filename that should be used for extraction
Test File: ocr_test/2020-10-01 Meldezettel Sompek Strasse.pdf
Current Behavior (v0.6.0):
- Low confidence (~0.3) extraction from document content alone
- Misses valuable information already in filename
Expected Behavior (v0.7.0+):
- Filename treated as HIGH PRIORITY source for metadata
- ISO date extracted from filename:
2020-10-01 - Location/Company extracted:
Sompek Strasse - Document type extracted:
Meldezettel - High confidence (0.8-0.9) due to filename providing clear structure
Expected Filename (fuzzy):
2020-10-01 - Sompek Strasse - Meldezettel.pdf
Command:
ocr ocr_test/2020-10-01\ Meldezettel\ Sompek\ Strasse.pdf --rename --dry-runKey Test:
- Current filename is passed to Mistral AI for analysis
- Filename metadata ranks higher than document content for structured info
- Confidence threshold default is 0.7 (can be changed with
--confidence) - Output shows:
2020-10-01 - Sompek Strasse - Meldezettel (Confidence: 0.9)
Concatenate multiple image files into one output treating each as a page
Command:
ocr ocr_test/IMG_0466.JPG ocr_test/IMG_0468.JPG --concatExpected Output:
- One combined markdown file:
IMG_0466.mdsaved inocr_test/directory (NOT in.ocr/) - Individual cached OCR files saved:
ocr_test/.ocr/IMG_0466.pg1.mdandocr_test/.ocr/IMG_0468.pg1.md - Page headers added: "### Page 1", "### Page 2"
- No images directory created if no images extracted
- Metadata shows both source files and original filenames
- YAML frontmatter includes
images_saved: 0andinclude_page_headlines: true
Key Test:
- Files concatenated in order specified
- Individual OCR files preserved for caching (prevents re-OCR on subsequent runs)
- Combined file saved in parent directory (not in
.ocr/subdirectory) - Empty
.ocr/images/directory not created when no images exist - Default filename is first file's stem with
.mdextension
Test:
ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf --rename --dry-runExpected Output (Simple Mode):
Heunisch.pdf -> 2022-10-24 - HEUNISCH & FREUN - Rechnung.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
Expected Output (Verbose Mode):
ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf --rename --dry-run --verboseFilename generation mode enabled
Using cached filename: 2022-10-24 - HEUNISCH & FREUN - Rechnung
DRY RUN - No files will be renamed
Current: Heunisch.pdf
New: 2022-10-24 - HEUNISCH & FREUN - Rechnung.pdf
Confidence: 0.9
Key Test:
- Shows both current filename AND suggested new filename
- Simple mode:
current.pdf -> new.pdf (Confidence: X.X) - Verbose mode: Separate lines for Current, New, and Confidence
- Batch mode shows all files with same format
Test:
# Rename a file (creates new OCR if needed)
cp ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf ocr_test/test.pdf
ocr ocr_test/test.pdf --rename --forceExpected Behavior:
- Generates intelligent filename:
2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung - Renames source file:
Kolarik.pdf→2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf - Renames OCR file:
.ocr/Kolarik.pg1.md→.ocr/2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pg1.md - Both files renamed atomically (if one fails, neither is renamed)
- When it worked remove the newly renamed file "2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung" and its .ocr version
Expected Output:
Renaming files...
[OK] Renamed to: 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf
[OK] OCR file: 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pg1.md
Verbose Output:

Renaming files...
[OK] Renamed to: 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf
[OK] OCR file: 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pg1.md
Key Test:
- Both source file and OCR markdown file are renamed together
- Uses cached filename if available (use
--forceto regenerate) - Collision detection with counter suffix if file exists
- Rollback on failure (atomic operation)
Note: After test, rename back: mv "ocr_test/2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf" ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf
Test:
# Test per-file confirmation (answer 'n' for first, 'y' for second)
echo -e "n\ny\n" | ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf --rename --confirm --forceExpected Behavior:
- Processes each file individually
- Asks for confirmation before renaming each file
- First file: User says "n" - file is skipped, not renamed
- Second file: User says "y" - file is renamed
- Shows summary at end
Expected Output:
Processing 2 files...
Proposed rename:
From: Heunisch.pdf
To: 2022-10-24 - Heunisch & Freun - Rechnung.pdf
Proceed with rename? [y/n] (y): Skipped: Heunisch.pdf
Proposed rename:
From: Kolarik.pdf
To: 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf
Proceed with rename? [y/n] (y): Kolarik.pdf -> 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
[OK] Renamed to: 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf
Processed 1 / 2 files successfully
Key Test:
- Confirmation is asked for EACH file individually (not just once for all files)
- Skipped files don't count as success
- Renamed files show success message
- Works in both simple and verbose modes
- Only applies when using
--rename(not--dry-run)
Note: After test, rename back: mv "ocr_test/2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf" ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf
Test:
# Process files concurrently (default: 3 workers)
ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf ocr_test/"2020-10-01 Meldezettel Sompek Strasse.pdf" --rename --dry-run --concurrent 2Expected Behavior:
- Processes up to 2 files simultaneously
- Output may appear in non-sequential order (concurrent execution)
- Faster processing for large batches
- Respects concurrency limit (max 10 workers)
Expected Output:
Processing 3 files...
Heunisch.pdf -> 2022-10-24 - Heunisch & Freun - Rechnung.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
2020-10-01 Meldezettel Sompek Strasse.pdf -> 2020-10-01 - Sompek Strasse - Meldezettel.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
Kolarik.pdf -> 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
Verbose Output:
ocr ocr_test/*.pdf --rename --dry-run --concurrent 2 --verboseProcessing 3 files...
Image descriptions: enabled
Concurrent processing: 2 files
Using concurrent processing (2 workers)
[Files process concurrently, output may be interleaved]
Key Test:
--concurrent Nprocesses up to N files simultaneously- Default is 3 workers
- Min: 1 (sequential), Max: 10 (capped for stability)
- NOT compatible with
--confirm --rename(falls back to sequential for user input) - Works with all modes: --dry-run, --rename, standard OCR
- Verbose mode shows concurrent worker count
Scenario: Document contains multiple dates (DOB and actual document date)
Expected Behavior:
- Dates older than 10 years from today are likely DOB (Date of Birth)
- For medical records, prioritize examination/sample/report dates over DOB
- Look for German medical date labels: "Befunddatum", "Probenentnahme", "Untersuchungsdatum"
- Only use very old dates (>10 years) if no other date is available
- Prefer recent dates (within last 10 years) as document dates
Example Document Content:
# Labor XY
Patient DOB: 15.03.1985
Befunddatum: 12.09.2024
## LaborbefundExpected Extraction:
{
"date": "2024-09-12",
"company": "Labor XY",
"summary": "Laborbefund",
"confidence": 0.9
}Expected Filename:
2024-09-12 - Labor XY - Laborbefund.pdf
Key Test:
- Uses "Befunddatum" (2024-09-12) instead of DOB (1985-03-15)
- Recent date (2024) prioritized over 39-year-old date (1985)
- Medical terminology recognized: "Laborbefund", "Befunddatum"
- DOB would only be used if no other date is available
Scenario: Files that are already correctly named should be skipped without unnecessary AI calls
Setup:
# First, ensure file is renamed correctly (do this once)
cd C:\Users\leona\OneDrive\_2_Areas\Scripts\OCR
uv run ocr ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf --rename --force
# This renames: Kolarik.pdf → 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung.pdfTest (after file is already renamed):
# Test with the correctly named file
uv run ocr ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf --rename --dry-runExpected Output:
[OK] Kolarik.pdf (already correct)
Batch Processing Test:
# Test with multiple files, one already correct
uv run ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf --rename --dry-runExpected Output:
Processing 2 files...
Heunisch.pdf -> 2022-10-24 - Heunisch & Freun - Rechnung.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
[OK] Kolarik.pdf (already correct)
Verbose Mode Test:
uv run ocr ocr_test/Kolarik.pdf --rename --dry-run --verboseExpected Output:
Filename generation mode enabled
Using cached filename: 2022-10-21 - Kolarik - Rechnung
[OK] Already correctly named: Kolarik.pdf
Key Test:
- Files with current name matching cached generated filename are skipped
- No AI call made for already-correct files (saves API calls and time)
- Clear indication shown in both simple and verbose modes
- Works in both single-file and batch processing modes
- Helps resume operations in large directories without re-processing correctly named files
- Use
--forceflag to override and regenerate filename if needed
Performance Benefit:
- Skips OCR processing (file already has cached .ocr file)
- Skips filename generation (cached metadata matches current name)
- Instantly shows "[OK] ... (already correct)" message
- No Mistral API calls for these files
Scenario: Display red warning in dry-run mode when confidence is below the threshold
Test (Single File):
# Use custom confidence threshold to trigger warning
uv run ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf --rename --dry-run --confidence 0.95Expected Output:
Heunisch.pdf -> 2022-10-24 - Heunisch & Freun - Rechnung.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
WARNING: Confidence (0.9) below threshold (0.95)
Batch Processing Test:
uv run ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf "ocr_test/2020-10-01 Meldezettel Sompek Strasse.pdf" --rename --dry-run --confidence 0.95Expected Output:
Processing 2 files...
Heunisch.pdf -> 2022-10-24 - Heunisch & Freun - Rechnung.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
WARNING: Confidence (0.9) below threshold (0.95)
2020-10-01 Meldezettel Sompek Strasse.pdf -> 2020-10-01 - Sompek Strasse - Meldezettel.pdf (Confidence: 0.9)
WARNING: Confidence (0.9) below threshold (0.95)
Verbose Mode Test:
uv run ocr ocr_test/Heunisch.pdf --rename --dry-run --confidence 0.95 --verboseExpected Output:
Filename generation mode enabled
Using cached filename: 2022-10-24 - Heunisch & Freun - Rechnung
DRY RUN - No files will be renamed
Current: Heunisch.pdf
New: 2022-10-24 - Heunisch & Freun - Rechnung.pdf
Confidence: 0.9
WARNING: Confidence below threshold (0.95)
Key Test:
- Warning displayed in RED when confidence is below threshold
- Default threshold is 0.7 (can be changed with
--confidenceflag) - Warning shows both the actual confidence and the threshold value
- Works in all modes: single file, batch, concurrent, and verbose
- Only shown in dry-run mode (not during actual rename operations)
- Helps user identify files that may need manual review before renaming
Use Cases:
- Quality control: Identify files with ambiguous or unclear metadata
- Batch operations: Spot-check low confidence files before mass renaming
- Custom thresholds: Adjust sensitivity based on document quality expectations
- Safety: Prevents automatic renaming of poorly analyzed documents
