File Renamer

Post by Venus »

Update 8/15/14: Version 1.2 fixes a bug which may changed the order of files.

Hi guys,
while writing (flash) teases you may came across the problem of renaming your pictures. A while ago I wrote a little java program which renames files. Finally I thought "Hey I'm certainly not the only one with this matter".
So here it is for you to use :wave:
I'm using it on Windows 7 64-bit. Because it is a java program it should run on any operating system.

How to use:
New file name: Type in the name which the files should get.
Directory path: Type in or Copy/Paste the path of the folder which contains the pictures.
File extension: Type in the file extension. (You can use the FileRenamer for any kind of files)
choose directory: Opens a file browser where you can choose the directory which contains the files.
rename files: Renames the files.

The FileRenamer renames all files in the directory you've chosen. It adds to your entered file name automatically a number.

Example:
Let's say we have a folder C:\pictures which contains 3 pictures: abc.jpg, bbb.jpg, xyz.jpg.
We can use the file browser or fill out the directory path manually so that it contains: C:\pictures\. Be sure that the last back slash is there.
The new file name should be MyTeasePicture.
When we hit the button "rename files" the file abc.jpg is renamed to MyTeasePicture00.jpg, the file bbb.jpg is renamed to MyTeasePicture01.jpg and the file xyz.jpg is renamed to MyTeasePicture02.jpg.

The filled out text fields look like this:

If you have any feedback or suggestions let me know.

Great idea - on windows, where a proper command line is sadly missing, tools such as this is really a necessity. Thanks for sharing.

Another option that also gives more flexibility, is to download and use a unix shell emulater for windows and use the command line to build commands to rename the files as desired. Far more complex and well out of reach for those not familiar with regular expressions etc, but for those who are familiar with it, it is very very powerful.
Yes, I most certainly CAN do it again!

Why not just hit ctrl+A to select all, then F2 to rename? Does the same thing...

You're welcome.

Ah, okay.
I did not know that it is possible to do it that way. Though I don't like it that the number is added in brackets. So my little program isn't senseless for me :D

File Renamer Basic has a very appealing, polished interface that has a directory tree, a file listing, and tabs below. Beyond the basic features File Renamer Basic also supports regular expressions, ID3 v1 and ID3 v2, EXIF, renaming lists, saved profiles for repeat tasks, and ID3 tag editing which is a good feature. And, the help files are excellent.

You can rename up to 1000 files which are numbered from 000 to 999.

Personally, I use Bulk Rename Utility.

It might look a little complicated, but it is very comprehensive. You can rename almost anything to almost anything else. Worth a look if a simpler tool isn't quite up to the job.

Even though the thread is very old and only a handful people used my little program I'm posting an update.
Since I started writing a new tease I started using my program again.

I came across a little bug which I fixed in the updated version. The bug was that java doesn't guarantee a specific order when reading all files of a directory. So I added a lexicographic sorting. Additionally there are sometime picture sets which are named like 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, ..., 9.jpg, 10.jpg, 11.jpg, 12.jpg. The lexicographic order here would be 1.jpg, 10.jpg, 11.jpg, 12.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.kpg, ... So I added a routine which also keeps the order of files if they end with a number.

I edited the link in the first post if you are interested in this tool.
