If you need more power than that, you can use the rename or ren command in a Command Prompt window to one or more files.
Rename Multiple Files from the Command Prompt All the selected files are renamed using the name you just typed, and are appended with a number in parentheses to differentiate them.
Type a new name for the file and then hit Enter or click somewhere else in the window. You’ll see that all the files remain selected, but the first one in the group gets its name highlighted so you can type a new name. When you’ve got the files selected, use one of the rename commands-the button on the Home menu, the command on the context menu, or just press F2.
Start by selecting a bunch of files-you can hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple files at once, or Shift to select a range of files. If you’re renaming a bunch of files in the same folder and those files don’t need completely different names from one another, Windows provides an easier way to rename those files in batch. Keep hitting Tab and typing names this way and you can easily rename all the files in a folder if you’re so inclined. _01, _02, etc.)Ĥ) If I want to rename a bunch of files that all have different suffixes (i.e.Here’s where things get interesting: you can also hit the Tab key to automatically select the next file name in the folder so that you can immediately begin typing a new name for it. I tired some of the things mentioned, and none worked.Ģ) Related to that, there's no way to contact the developer for help and no help option.ģ) It can't rename files sequentially, so basically they'd all be renamed the same thing and then I'd have to manually add something to differentiate them (i.e. If the "regexp tester" is supposed to help me, it doesn't. I think that the Bulk File Renamer was a much better option with better logic, despite it's 3 star rating and the fact that it's no longer verified by Google and therefore unavailable for download (since it can't be linked to a Drive account).ġ) There are no instructions that I can find and if they exist they should be much more obvious. I find it's 4 star rating extremely suspect considering that it doesn't perform basic renaming functions, and also because only 36 reviews are available out of the alleged 440. I understand that this is a free extension, but I honestly don't see the point of it and wish there was a better option.
