Like before, drag and drop your files from the top view to the bottom. The only difference is that instead of typing in a filename, we're going to click the drop-arrow at the right of that filename field and select our naming option from the list (you might need to select a file before that option will show up). Now back in FileCenter, we'll do exactly the same thing we did in the first example.
#Mass rename of files free#
The final expression should look like this:Ĭlick OK, then Close the naming options dialog. Bulk Rename & Group is a free tool which allows you to easily rename and organize all your files from internal or external storage in a single operation.
Let's add some spaces and a dash to separate that from our Jones Estate text. Next we'll select the General option above, highlight ORIGINAL Name, then click Insert Field into Expression. In our example, we'll type Jones Estate in the Expression field. The first example is great if you want all of the files to have the same name, but what if you want to retain the original name? For example, what if you have a lot of descriptive filenames, but you want to add the text "Jones Estate" at the beginning? This is where we use naming options.Ĭlick the Naming button on the main toolbar, then Add a new naming option. Like magic, they'll all change to the new name with a counter. Now in the top window, select all of the files you want renamed, and drag them to the files list in the bottom window.
Next to that, enter the filename you want for the files, minus the counter ( e.g. In the middle bar (labeled Drag & Drop), select the Move option on the left and Rename on Drop. If you don't want to move the files, select the same folder in the bottom window. In the top window, go to the folder that holds the files you want to rename. Try a common scenario: renaming a collection of digital photos from their default numeric names to something more sensible, like Beach House 01.jpg, Beach House 02.jpg, etc. If you have FileCenter Professional, there's an easy way to rename a whole batch of files simultaneously using the Split view.
