Batch File Rename

You can rename files selected from Play List. For renaming, you can generate a name pattern for new names. Please be very carefully when you use rename - remember you will be actually changing file names!

To use the Batch File Rename dialog box:

To generate name pattern this function uses placeholders in brackets [] instead of * and ? wildcards. The new names are immediately shown in the result list, but the files are not renamed until the Rename All button is pressed.

1) Define the name pattern.

[N] old file name, WITHOUT extension
[C] Paste counter, as defined in Counter field
[Y] Paste year in 4 digit form
[M] Paste month, always 2 digit
[D] Paste day, always 2 digit
[h] Paste hours, always in 2 digit format
[m] Paste minutes, always in 2 digit format
[s] Paste seconds, always in 2 digit format

Example: To create the name like this: italy_001_01-01-2000.jpg, where 001 is a counter which will be incremented through files, and 01-01-2000 is a current date. Use string: "italy_[C]_[M-D-Y]", without parentheses. You will need to set the Counter Digits value to 3 to see the counter like: 001.

2) Click Rename All to apply the changes.
