File Renamer

Introduction

I wrote this program to allow me to easily rename my digital camera pictures after I downloaded them to my hard disk, though it can in fact be used to rename any files.

To use the program at its simplest just select the files you want to rename, enter the new name you want to use and press the Rename button. All the selected files will be renamed using the entered text followed by a sequential number. The file extension is not changed of course. There are various options you can use to vary the end result. I think the options are self-explanatory so just go ahead and experiment.

If you drag and drop a folder or a set of files from Windows Explorer onto the shortcut to the Renamer, the files will be highlighted ready for renaming and clicking the Rename button will close the application when completed.

By default all files in your selected folder are displayed in the selection list.To filter them just enter a file mask using standard Windows wild cards (e.g. *.jpg).

Support

As this is freeware and a pretty simple program I do not offer any support.

Steve Murphy's File Renamer is released as freeware. I retain copyright and IPR. Feel free to pass the program on to whomever you wish with the simple proviso that you do not charge for it.

The software is provided without warranty on an as-is basis. It has been tested only on Windows XP and NT platforms but should work OK on Win98 etc.

Renamer was written using Microsoft Visual Basic V6. When you install it, the necessary VB runtime files will be copied to your hard disk.
