theRenamer

theRenamer is a modern and versatile renamer for TV shows and movies that takes badly formatted titles and turns them to readable form.

It is perfectly suited for files downloaded by torrent clients, which usually have cluttered and unintelligible titles that can take forever to rename, especially when dealing with a large collection of movies or shows.

The main advantage of theRenamer is that it can process multiple files at a time and the renaming process is done on the spot, too. The changes can be performed automatically inside the source file (if you enable the AutoMove feature), without making a copy of it (seeing as this would be useless, anyway).

Its engine relies on major online movie databases such as IMDB, TV.com, EPGUIDES, the TVDB.com and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) provided by Wikipedia. Prior to the renaming process, one of these has to be selected as reference.

The main interface sports an appealing design, hinting you on the purpose of each command. Simply select the files you want to rename (hold the Shift key for multiple selections) and drag them to the GUI, at which point you will be automatically redirected to the renaming dialog.

If AutoMove is enabled, the titles are automatically changed and if not, you can have the application modify them using the ‘Proceed’ button. However, it might be a good idea to leave AutoMove disabled, in case you’re not happy with the renaming pattern.

The solution to this is to use the Settings dialog to customize the naming method to contain exactly what you want. Also from this section, you can manage the list of keywords that will be removed from the original title.

In conclusion, theRenamer is equipped with all the necessary skills needed to quickly and efficiently rename movies and television shows. The users benefits from full freedom in what the renaming pattern is concerned.
