Rename your files in 3 steps...

Step 1: Choose files

First you choose which files you want to rename. There are many ways to do that:
  • You can simply drag the files into the window or onto the applications icon.
  • You can use the icon in the toolbar (Add), the menu (File→Add) or the contextual menu of the list (right click or ctrl-click).
  • You can install the Finder Context Menu (see Preferences!) and add the files using the Finder
You can remove the files from the list or empty the whole list. The referring commands are again in the toolbar, the menu and the contextual menu.

Step 2: Configure

At the bottom area of the window you configure, how you want to rename. The rename methods should be self-explaining.

Watch in the list, how the preview is updated in real-time! The colors have the following meaning:
  • blue color: This is the new name of the file
  • red color: There will most likely be problems with duplicate file names
  • no name: The new name is identical with the old one - the file won't be renamed.
Hint: Here you get a short description of “regular expressions”!

Step 3: Rename files

When you've done with the 2nd step, simply click the "Rename Files" button. The files will be renamed according to your configuration.

That's all!
