Let's suppose that you have taken a lot of photos during your vacation and you would like to organize them into specific folders, for being easier to find and manage them. This is difficult because each photo has a random name given by the digital camera. That's why a good idea would be to rename all the files in the same way. Doing this by hand can take a lot of time, especially if there are a lot of files needed to be renamed. A much better idea would be to use a specialized application for batch renaming files. One such application is Better File Rename.

This Windows app allows you to rename a multitude of files at the same time, using various patterns and rules. In this way, you will save time and you will be able to better organize files. The software is very simple to install and allows adding files and folders to its interface using drag and drop or by accessing the included buttons. An unlimited number of files and folders can be added.

After completing this step, one can start configuring the renaming rules and patterns. There are many to choose from. Each pattern or renaming rule can be previewed in real time using the actual imported files and folders. Thus, the user will know whether the chosen rule is the right one or not.

The list of files added to the program can be saved as a file, for being reused later on, in case the program is installed again. Besides that, one can create a Droplet, which is a small program for renaming files using a specific set of rules.

Pros

It allows renaming multiple files and folders at the same time using various rules and patterns. Besides that, the new file names can be previewed in real time, in the interface. What's more, the list of files can be saved, for being reused later on. Furthermore, Droplets can be created using specific rules.

Cons

Some rules are not so intuitive and some users may have trouble configuring them. Better File Rename allows you to easily rename multiple files and folders at the same time using various rules and patterns.
