Portable EF Multi File Renamer

Portable EF Multi File Renamer is a cool application because of its main purpose, changing file names in bulk, but also because of its portability perk. I was pleased to work with such a program that did not require installation, even though it had a direct effect on my files and folders. Working with it is very easy, mainly due to a neat interface and an overall friendly attitude towards less experienced users.

The first thing you will notice as a brand-new user of this program is how easy and familiar its function will feel. All one has to do is navigate to a certain part of their machine's storage, decide on a rule, and tell the app where and how to enforce it. This is pretty much it. Of course, the application's hidden mechanism is more complex and would seem excruciatingly difficult to understand when compared to its interface.

Launching the application, you will notice that every action is stored in its specific tab or submenu. In my case, I decided to add a new naming rule which dealt with extensions. You can also take into consideration other factors such as file dates, times, EXIF data, case, and so on. You'll have all applications sharing a certain characteristic displayed with a specific name tag. This makes it easier to find what you are looking for and ultimately increases productivity.

Aside from all the tabs and submenus I've previously mentioned, there are a lot of functions that can be added via the small and useful toolbar. Here, icons that are very well done will indicate their function allowing you to save your progress, undo it, display information, and so on. The program feels responsive and does not waste any time when in action. The renaming procedures are almost instant and all moves executed during one session can easily be saved as proof in various formats.
