FILE RENAMERThis one will let you rename all your files like with the DOS command,but with a lot more options. You can : batch rename all files and/or folders, add string to beginning or end of filenames, remove string from all the names to rename, change all the file extensions, numerate all filenames sequentially, convert all to uppercase / lowercase, trim 'x' characters from beginning or end of filenames, replace spaces inside filename to anything else or eliminate all spaces, replace one string from the name with any other, change file and folder creation/last written dates, add date and/or time to filename, and much, much more...!Can work with one or multiple folders.Remove or add individual items from file list.Select multiple files from Open dialog box.Supports Drag and Drop from Explorer to Renamer's window.Renames directories (only from drag and drop).Renames shortcuts' names.Sort files by file date, name or type.Also has infinite 'undo' function for all renames done, so it is safeto test at will, as you can always undo all changes made..Remembers last renaming strings, and new file extensions can beadded to be used next time.Accepts a command line with the format 'renamer.exe 'always as a pair of names 'old'--'new' , as many as you need, separatedby spaces.And it can create a new windows explorer context menu item so that you can right click on Explorer and directly send all selected filesor directory names to be renamed into the program.You can also create 'scripts', combining several options to beapplied in one go, so effectively creating brand new options torename all your files. To do this, you just select options likeif you were renaming a file, and press the 'Add Line' in the script editor; then you select another options, and press the'Add Line' button again, and so forth until you are happy with the result. Choose a name for the script, and it will always beavailable as a new option, from the drop down list. Uses translation to diverse languages - for now only Englishand Portuguese, but if you want to contribute with other translationsjust email me with the translated strings.--------------------------Install / UninstallI never liked programs that install files all over the hard disk;To install the program, you only have to copy the files to a suitabledirectory, and then run it from there. (see notes below)To uninstall, you only have to delete the directory you created andthe files within, and... that's all !Please note: if you have used Renamer's popup menu to create an Explorercontext menu item, use it again to remove that same item, before deletingrenamer's folder, ok?--------------------------Important notes!You must extract all the files from the zip archive to a folder ordirectory in which you - the user that is going to run the program -has read and write permissions. This is importanto, with WindowsVista and all above OS's, or else you might run in trouble whenthe program tries to write it's configuratons to disk.If you want to read the accompanying .chm help file and, afteropening it there is nothing showing, that's because Windows doesn'tallow it to show. Just select the file from Windows Explorer, rightclick and see it's properties. Click 'unblock' near the bottom andit'll work just fine afterwards.--------------------------Contact meIf you wish to sponsor development of other handy utilities,or you enjoy using this viewer so much that you can't resist...Please find the time to mail me regarding problems, enhancements ordonations :) .
