Renaming Files Can Now Be Fun
|
NameChanger is an application for the batch renaming of files. All of the usual ways of renaming files are covered (prepend, append, add date, add number sequence etc), but with a few useful twists.
The first thing that differentiates this app is the live preview of how the files will be renamed, making it easy to fine-tune the changes prior to committing to them.

You can launch it and then choose files to modify — or you can leave its icon in the Dock, ready for files to be dropped.
I particularly like the number of date and time options, which can be based on the file date, or any date and time that I choose. Why don't all time pickers use such an analog clock — love it!

I frequently grab text from online articles and combine them in large text files. Now I can name each one (for example: "From Wired.txt") and prepend the current date; making it easy to store them all in an "Articles" folder without them over-writing older versions.
