How does pathlib.Path.rename work?

[wavic]

I want to write a small script for a friend who has a bunch of images restored after deletion ( 50 gigs ) and I'm trying to use the pathlib module for this. But the renamed files are moved into the working directory. How does rename method work?

Here is the initial code:

path = Path(args.path)
files = (f for f in path.rglob('*') if f.is_file())

for f in files:
    ext = f.suffix
    if ext != '.py':
        stats = f.stat()
        name = Path(datetime.fromtimestamp(stats.st_mtime).strftime('%Y%m%d-%H%M%S'))
        f.rename(name)

The directory contains two more with the images inside them. When I run the code all images are renamed and moved to the working directory ( the root scan directory for example. The default path is '.').
