"This programme is fantastic!"
Version: File Renamer Basic 6.3
Pros
An incredible and simple programme. Has easy boxes to add options. ie; prefix - prefixfilename.jpg or prefix and suffix prefixfilenamesuffix.jpg or it can even add sequential numbers! Also a find/replace feature. It gives a preview before you take the plunge and will also undo any operation.
Cons
Can't view previews of CDR files, but this is a problem with other applications also.
Summary
Why didn't I download it sooner! All those times I've manually changed hundreds of file names! This is brilliant if you are designing websites and have hundreds of files to deal with.

"Does what it says it should"
Version: File Renamer Basic 6.3

This is a great tool for doing exactly as its name states. No learning curve involved, simple and easy to use. The feature it has of being able to preview your results before actually committing is brilliant.

None so far

If a batch file renamer is what you are looking for, look no further.

"Great for Audio Book files and folders"
Version: File Renamer Basic 6.3
Pros
I use this program exclusively for renaming audio book chapters and file lists in mp3 format. It works as advertised for lists of files in numerical order; with or without file names, prefix, suffix or unique parameters. It also works fine renaming batches of folders.
Cons
Have not found any to date and I have been using this program since it first became available on C-Net.
Summary
I am currently using Windows 7-64bit and have had no problems. Works on my desktop and laptop systems equally well. Used to run it on Windows XP-32 with great results. The basic [Free] version is fine for most folks. The pro [upgrade] costs very little.

"It dose a good job renaming your files"
Version: File Renamer Basic 6.3
Pros
It dose a good job renaming your files
Cons
One problem I found with it is that if you have it to rename your files and to have it put them in another folder you suggest it also renames your files in your source folder and you can't revert them back. If you are going to use this program I suggest making copies of all your files before renaming them.
Summary
It isn't worth it
