ReNamer
ReNamer is a very powerful and flexible file
renaming tool.
ReNamer offers all the standard renaming
procedures, including prefixes, suffixes,
replacements, case changes, removing the
content inside brackets, adding number
sequences, changing file extensions, etc.
Advanced users can program their own
algorithm using PascalScript rule.
ReNamer allows you to combine multiple
renaming actions as a rule set, which can be
saved, re-loaded, and edited. In addition, it
can rename folders and process regular
expressions. It can handle Unicode
(non-English scripts).
ReNamer supports a variety of meta tags,
such as: ID3v1
[1]
, ID3v2
[1]
, EXIF
[2]
, OLE
[3]
, AVI
[4]
, MD5
[5]
, CRC32
[6]
, SHA1
[7]
and many more.

Introduction
ReNamer is a very powerful and flexible file renaming tool with the following features:
• The workflow toolbar makes renaming easy.
• ReNamer can rename files belonging to different folders (or even different computers) at a time.
You can also filter the contents of the folders before renaming.
• ReNamer offers extensive set of rules for renaming. Each rule has controllable parameters.
•• ReNamer can stack multiple rules in any sequence and apply in that order.
• ReNamer provides full preview (the affected file names can be highlighted).
• ReNamer allows you to try out the stack of rules on user-defined text
(this allows safe experimentation, without risking real files).
•• ReNamer can automatically handle name-conflicts arising from the renaming.
• You can save the stack of rules as a "preset" and re-use it later with a keyboard shortcut.
• ReNamer can rename folders.
• ReNamer can move files to other folders.
•• ReNamer can rename Windows network (neighbourhood) files also.
• ReNamer can use RegEx (Regular Expressions) for the renaming.
•• ReNamer supports Unicode filenames (e.g. Asian scripts, Cyrillic, French, Spanish, Arabic, Hebrew, etc).
• ReNamer allows scripting (Pascal Script) to create complex renaming logic.
(many scripts are available on the Forum
[1]
).
• ReNamer can extract a large variety of meta tags from files and use them for the renaming.
(e.g. ID3v1
[2]
, ID3v2
[3]
, EXIF
[4]
, OLE
[3]
, AVI
[4]
, MD5
[5]
, SHA1
[5]
, CRC32
[6]
, etc)
•• ReNamer can export/import the renaming-related information.
• ReNamer can take automatic actions based on outcome of renaming operation
(e.g. clear off all successfully renamed files from the pane, but retain the problematic files)
• ReNamer can be run in command line mode, with lots of parameters.
This allows you to select your files in explorer (or any other application) and do one-touch renaming.
