Rename All

if you're the type that records tens of movies, takes hundreds of photos and download thousands of pictures off of the Internet, then you surely have thought about organizing everything more than once. One way to make your digital library looking all tidy is by renaming everything based on what they mean and contain. Of course, with such a large amount of files, a batch renamer would be the first thing that should cross your mind. One such batch renamer is Rename All, which a wide toolset to the table, making thus sure all your files will be renamed according to your specified pattern.

One shouldn't be deterred from using this app, despite the dated graphics, since it is perfectly compatible with the latest OS.  The main menu is pretty straightforward, so even if its the first time you're using such software tools, you'll figure out how it works in no time. The first thing you need to start batch renaming is browsing for the folder that contains all the targeted files.  Once that is done, a list depicting the entire folder's contents will be displayed for you to better determine what renaming parameters should be applied.

If you're trying to rename all photos following a similar pattern, you can choose certain keywords to be replaced explicitly with others, or you can choose some of the more generic settings available.  This includes removing digits, spaces or letters, or changing between uppercase and lowercase characters.

Before commencing with the batch renaming, you get to see a preview of how the contents of the folder will look like after the renaming. This can be considered as an extra precaution against unwanted mistakes which can be made. More so, after the renaming is done, you get to see a detailed log of how everything changed, so that you can always keep track of what the original names were.

Admittedly, while Rename All may not boast the prettiest graphics, it manages to get the job done fast and efficiently, and in the end, that's all that truly matters.
