Ken Rename for Windows

User Reviews

• Good potential, but is now abandonware.

  Rod LockwoodApril 27, 2013

  Pros

  Has a nice interface. Is easy to use. Has a lot of features and is very flexible and fast. You can define often used routines and save them to use later.

  Cons

  Crashes often from memory leaks. Resource hog. No longer under development or being supported.

  Summary

  This is abandonware. It could have been an awesome utility, but now it is useless.

• Great batch file manager. Makes organizing easy.

  marcosousasrAugust 7, 2011

  Pros

  For the most part it is very intuitive. Windows right-click integration. Non-bloated. Free.

  Cons

  Needs a [select all] button on the button menu. Otherwise have to go to file menu and [Edit] ----> [select all] each time. Refresh could at times be slow or nonresponsive. Ten months since its release and still no updates. Fix for 5 stars.

  Summary

  Highly recommend just hope they add a [select all] button. I have a few external hardrives that i use for a comic book and movie collection and it made organizing them very easy for the most part. It did take a little playing around with the program but once i got the hang of it it went smoothly.

• Good Program. Versatile. Could use some Improvment.

  KenyxKhananiMarch 20, 2009

  Pros

  Easy to use interface: Replace/Rename works just like a text editor. Offers preview of what change will look like. Can even do batch changes. A Straightforward Program. They also have an ongoing forum, if needed, for help & issues.

  Cons

  While it works, currently it is still slightly buggy. I haven't had any problems, as the features I wanted didn't have any bugs. People can also use complex expressions (such as "^(.{n})(.{2})"), but most people won't know what those are/mean.

  Summary

  Good program to work with. Still in production (as I write this, v0.77 is current), so it's understandable that there is work to be done. However, the ease in which I renamed *groups* of files by simply typing in the "before" and "after" that I desired is fantastic. Multiple Options are available: Rename, Insert (Before or After), Remove, even Changing Case. Other programs I've tried have restriced the *way* you rename. This one doesn't. You can rename a single file (with name and extension pieced out, which I liked), or create a list of commands. Then, check how everything will look, change as neccessary, and BAM; you're done! The complex expression can be used by more experienced users; and, as I am not someone who uses that feature, it is nice to have. You'll have to learn a little if you want to use it. The developer has an active forum where you can post any question, problems, or suggestions.
