Publisher's Description
From publicspace.net:
Allows users to quickly rename multiple files. This powerful, yet easy-to-use utility transforms the often tedious and time-consuming task of renaming multiple files into a simple matter of seconds. "A Better Finder Rename" is ideally suited for Macintosh webmasters, users who need to transfer files from Windows or UNIX as well as for all other Macintosh users who deal with large numbers of files.
What's new in this version: Fixes a minor bug in the OS X verison of the tool which caused the version number to be incorrectly displayed as "3.6 final". The OS 9 version was unaffected by the bug.

"Great but could be improved"
Version: A Better Finder Rename X 8.84
Pros
Does so many great things it's hard to list the benefits.
Cons
Has lost the ability to modify individual names during a batch rename. This is a sorely missed feature. Please bring it back!
Summary
The hours and effort this will save you is easily worth the cost. I highly recommend it.

"Brilliant!"

Pros
It's brilliant
Cons
None that I can see
Summary
Does exactly what it says on the box. Excellent. Pay for it - it's worth it.

"Works great for the simple tasks I've tried"
Version: A Better Finder Rename X 8.80
Pros
Saves time, don't have to do tedious renaming of files.
Cons
Only 10 files can be renamed at a time in the free version. But you can run it again and again. So for free, it's a deal.
Summary
Good little time saver.

"The program makes well what it promises"
Version: A Better Finder Rename X 8.76
Pros
easy and clear to use
Cons
I would like more options than the ones it actually has
-
"The best multipurpose file name utility!"
Version: A Better Finder Rename X 8.72
Pros
Ease of use.
Cons
Can't edit individual files like in previous versions.
Summary
This is the best file name processor for Macs. Bar none!

"Great utility"
Version: A Better Finder Rename X 8.72
Pros
Its usually easy to run the rename unless you need to shift characters around in the name.
Cons
Unable to shift characters around in the name
Author seems to be happy tying versions to OS levels (I do not like this)Summary
Usually straight forward to use. Although last time I gave it 1000+ names to change into lower case it fialed.
Also (used?) to have flakiness with having to have the 2 windows in constant contact. If not expect it to bomb. -
"Very useful"
Version: A Better Finder Rename X 8.70
Pros
Works reliably, easy to use, handy ability to remember common options.
Cons
A bit pricey. Doesn't include some functions in File Buddy.
Summary
Previously used File Buddy for bulk rename but it got progressively more buggy and lacked support (even for re-licensing). Bought ABFR instead and it has worked really well. It's by far the best tool for renaming files I've used. Maybe a bit pricey for a single function program but worth it for IT pros.

"The Swiss Army knife for renaming files."
Version: A Better Finder Rename X 8.69
Pros
This gem will accommodate almost any file renaming scheme. I use it most for merging large numbers of photo files taken with 3 or 4 cameras into chronological order within a single folder, but that's a fraction of it's capability.
Cons
It's powerful, so be careful. It's entirely possible to mess up thousands of file names. Just make certain to preview the new file names before committing to them. This is more a caveat than a con.
-
"The product is excellent."
Version: A Better Finder Rename X 8.68
Pros
On simple renames it works fast and no bumps (most of the time)
Cons
Apparantly it need 10.5 and above (whiich is not well documented)
When I tried it out on my 10,4 system nothing happened (no messages). I found some on the console but no menthion of 10.5.Summary
I do like this product. I use it anywhere from 10-50 times a day. It has minor bugs but you learn to live with the it crashing.
