#### The `--fix` flag
If, however, you'd rather have fif fix the misnamed files itself, rather than relying on a shell script, you can use
the `--fix` flag:
```bash
# rename any misnamed .jpg files in the user's pictures directory
fif ~/Pictures --fix -e jpg
# fix any misnamed files found in the user's downloads
fif ~/Downloads --fix
```
By default, fif will avoid taking any potentially destructive actions (renaming a file to a name that already exists).
This behaviour can be disabled with the `--overwrite` flag, which will instead prompt you to overwrite the existing
file. fif will also prompt you to retry on errors.
For more information on how the `--fix` flag works, and how it behaves in conjunction with the `--overwrite` flag
and `--prompt` parameter, see [the corresponding wiki page](https://gitlab.com/Lynnesbian/fif/-/wikis/Fix).
