Freename Lets You Batch-Rename Files Using A Text Editor Of Choice

Renaming a large number of files can be quite a tedious task if performed manually. When we download files from different websites, their names usually consist of a lot of random alphanumeric characters. For instance, if you download pictures from Facebook, the files do not have the same names as they had when they were uploaded to the website. If you want to be able to easily find or browse through downloaded files on your computer, it is important that you give them appropriate names. However, the process of manual renaming seems alright when you have just a couple of files to rename. For a large number of files, batch-renaming applications can be of help, but mostly, they just add numbers, suffixes or prefixes to file names. Introducing Freename, a tool that combines the features of batch-renaming applications with the ability to edit the names manually. You can add multiple files at a time from different folders, and edit all the file names using any text editor installed on your computer. This allows you to use Find and Replace functions in common text editors for quick manual renaming of files. Read More

A massive collection of songs, TV series and movies may give you bragging rights, but as collections grow, it gets harder and harder to keep them organized. You may move your files around to make room for new ones and store older ones unorganized for ages. FileBot is a Windows application that helps you organize your movies and TV series. It allows you to search for episode names for any series and rename the corresponding files using the downloaded list. Alternatively, it will also let you specify the pattern for renaming the files, though the syntax is limited to just appending serial numbers to the end of the file name. FileBot even lets you analyze entire media folders and view which subfolders and what file types have been saved to it. Lastly, you have the option to search for and download subtitles for movies.

Batch file renaming is often needed when you have to organize a large number of files, and their names make little or no sense. Image files from your camera are the first thing that come to mind, but the need to clean up file names can occur for just about any file type. Rename is a batch file renaming app for Mac, which, unlike many file renaming apps that we covered earlier, has multiple ways of changing the file names; with Rename, you can simply select an entire folder that contains the files you want rename, enter a word that is found in the file name, and the app will find and rename it. It saves you the trouble of having to select a file that is to be renamed, or finding it from a large folder. Other features of this app include adding a serial number to all files and folders within any folder, appending a suffix or prefix to a file name, adding spotlight tags in bulk, and removing a given number of characters from the start or end of a file name.

Renaming a single file is easy but the real caveat is, what to do when you've got to rename multiple files? That's where file renamers jump in, facilitating the users to rename multiple files at once.

Today, we discovered PDFN Batch File Rename Utility, which is designed to do exactly the very same thing but comes with a twist. The application actually contains different file renaming patterns (called as Presets), supporting a total of eight presets, like prefix, suffix, file count, last modified, web friendly etc., to quickly rename files according to a user's requirements. Moreover, you can restore the original file names without having to specify the original source folders. Not only does it detect hidden files from the specified folder(s), it also lets you rename files from all sub-directories. More details after the break.
