Installation

The download file is simply a .zip containing a portable version of the application. It does not require any installation in order to be used.

Requirements

This software requires the .NET Framework 2.0 to work. If you do not yet have it installed yet on your system, you can download it from here.

How to use

Due to the program’s simplicity, no help file has been included. You can start the application by double-clicking the "MultiFile Renamer.exe" executable file.

The application includes a folder navigation tree, which allows you to browse through your system folders. When a folder is selected, its contents are immediately listed on a listbox. It is possible to filter only certain file extensions by using a text field on the top. Certain media files (such as photos or movie clips) can be previewed once clicked on.

From this file list you can choose which files you want to rename by either double-clicking them, or using the available arrow buttons. When you select one or more files, they are added to a second listbox, which indicates the order in which they are going to be renamed.

There are three renaming options:

  • Standard Rename: Allows you to add one or two renaming labels and an index. This mode was initially considered for photo renaming, but can be used in many other contexts.

  • Change Case: Allows you to change the case of all the characters, either to lower-, upper- or title case. This can also apply to the file extension.

  • String replacement: Allows you to replace any characters string by another.

MultiFile Renamer offers some configuration options, which can be accessed though a settings menu. There, you can set some renaming options, preview options, as well as the place you would like to save these configurations. By default, they are not saved, but can be saved to the Windows Registry or to a file (recommended if you want to carry the application on a portable device).

Last, but not least, the application supports the integration with the windows explorer context menu. You can install this feature from within the application. When you do, you will be able to call MultiFile Renamer directly by right-clicking a folder anywhere on your system.
