Name Dropper

Name Dropper is a small software application whose purpose is to help you rename files by building up a list with the items that you want to process, dragging text strings from editors and web browsers, and dropping the text selection onto the target file.

Clean looks

The utility sports a simple design that integrates only a few configuration parameters. Files can be added in the working environment using only the drag-and-drop support.
In addition, you can view information about each file (name and path), and remove the selected items or folders from the list. You can opt for different view modes, such as details, large or small icons, lists or tiles.

Renaming options

The program gives you the possibility to rename a file by simply dragging text from a window and dropping it onto the target filename. The filename modifications are applied in real time but you cannot roll back the changes.
Name Dropper allows you to write a custom renaming pattern value which is applied to all files added in the main panel. No adjustments are made to the file extension, so you should know that it remains the same no matter what pattern you use.
What’s more, you can leave the renaming pattern field empty if you want to add just the new name, reorder the files in main using the drag-and-drop mode, and work with placeholder tags.
On the downside, the utility doesn’t come packed with preset renaming rules for helping you insert text and number, reverse text, split names and add space, so you need to manually insert the renaming pattern.

Bottom line

All things considered, Name Dropper offers a straightforward software solution for helping you rename files and carries out the process very quickly. It is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
