Better File Rename can save you the time and effort of renaming multiple files manually. Luckily, this tool can change the name of a whole batch of files. It has a neat and straightforward interface, which has two modes: standard and multi-step.

You should start by creating the list of elements that you wish to rename. There are many ways to do this. For instance, you can add files and folders using the corresponding dialog. It is also possible to drag the items and drop them on the program’s interface. Another possibility is to use the contextual menu of the system’s file manager.

Renaming actions are conveniently grouped into categories, such as text, characters, conversions, truncation, sequence numbers, date and time, as well as alphabetical sequences. Additionally, there are even some categories intended to deal with music files, which support renaming files by using a combination of title, artist, album, and track number. Similarly, picture files’ names can be built using their tags, like photo size, camera, and shooting date. After this step, you can configure more specific actions, for example, removing characters, truncating file names and adding specific text. Since renaming multiple files may entail certain risks, it is very convenient that the program lets you preview the expected results.

An advantage of this program is that you can use a sequence of actions. Not only that, you can create “droplets” to automate some processes. Droplets are mini-applications that support drag-and-drop operations of files you want to rename automatically. more

Would like to make an suggestion as have used since its beginning. If you are listening, a GREAT improvement would be on dragging the files back to the folder, I get some sometimes lots of DUPS and there is a RENAME but no RENAME ALL. Get tedious to do it for every file.
