THE Rename

THE Rename is an application designed to help you batch-rename files and folders.
The interface of the program is very plain and easy to navigate through. You can use an Explorer-based layout to locate the files that you want to rename.
In the list, you can check out the name, size, date of creation, attribute and type of each file.
So, you can configure naming rules concerning the prefix (e.g. capitalize all words, invert letters) and extension (e.g. remove internal spaces, toggle case, separate words).
In addition, you can check out tags, pictures and text, create folders with names (e.g. copy or move file to folder), rename by inputting a regular expression, as well as change file dates, times and attributes.
On top of that, you can use a basic search function, save settings, generate a HTML report, export tags and information, find the biggest counter, search and replace in prefix and extension, configure abbreviations and rules, map the network drive, create and organize a favorites list, copy or add to caddy, and more.
The program uses a low-to-moderate amount of system resources and didn't freeze, crash or display errors during our tests. On the other hand, there is no help file available. This is a big disadvantage for beginners, since THE Rename is not very intuitive. Also, the interface is outdated. We recommend this software with reservations.
