Version tested: 2.3.7.2

This is a very useful utility that enables batch renaming of files and folder. It’s got a wide array of powerful functions/features that you can access through a dashboard-type control panel.

I’ve been using this for almost a year now and find it to be powerful yet intuitive to use at the same time. Here are some of the features from the developer’s website:

• Very easy to use
• Rename files, folders or both
• Remove or change a filename
• Perform string substitution
• Change the case of filenames
• Remove characters or words
• Remove digits or symbols
• Append or prepend text
• Append dates in many formats
• Append the parent folder’s name
• Auto-number files with flexible rules
• Automatically preview the new names
• Sort the file details by any column
• Group configurations into “favourites”
• “Bulk Rename” Explorer extension
• Directory recursion - process subdirectories too!
• Rename files from an input text-file list
• Create an “Undo” batch file
• Log activity to a text log file
• Change file and folder date/time-stamps (created, modified, accessed)
• Change file/folder attributes (hidden, readonly, archived)
• Small memory footprint
• Settings retained between sessions
