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

A powerful renamer. Don’t get put off by what at first seems to be a bewildering array of boxes, buttons and choices – it’s easier than it looks.
nice software
this software is the best ever for renaming files. i really appreciate it and it does deserves the (max rating stars)
BRK is very powerfull indeed. I used it or years… until I found Denis Kozlov’s ReNamer. Try this one out, you won’t regret it. It can do everything BRK does, and more. Let’s you create your own rename scripts, supports metadata manipulation, RegExp (wonderfull!). Ah, and it also lets you save your rename options into profiles, so you can reuse them.
