Batch File Rename is a powerful tool developed to rename multiple files at the same time.
It’s all about the configuration process this time, but the well thought out interface definitely comes in handy, especially when it comes to the renaming rules you need to set up.
The essential tools are grouped in just one single screen and this is clearly a very good thing because it allows users configure the entire task a lot faster.
There are dedicated panels to show the selected files, pick rules and configure them, with Batch File Rename showing status, current name, new name, size and path for each displayed item.
The “New Name” field is updated in real-time as you configure the selected rules. You can for example add spaces, text, numbers, date/time or path name, remove spaces, text and numbers. Furthermore, you can use music and image tags to customize the file name, but also change case and split names.
Batch File Rename allows users to select as many rules as they want, with the status bar being used to show file count, new name count and files to be renamed.
Additionally, the app also supports settings profiles, which means that you can always export and import settings for a quicker renaming process.
Last but not least, the program runs on very low resources and works smoothly on all Windows versions, without the need for administrator privileges.
To sum up, Batch File Rename makes for a very good application that easily serves its purpose. A comprehensive help manual is also included, just in case more assistance on the built-in features is needed.
