Name and Property Modifier 2

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This handy batch-renaming tool packs some nice extras for file management, but won't win any aesthetic awards. Name and Property Modifier's outdated interface lacks creativity and doesn't include a help file, but fortunately it's easy enough to understand. The program is integrated with the Windows shell, conveniently renaming files and folders from the right-click menu. Like similar applications, this program provides several renaming options, such as the ability to standardize letter case, change file extensions, add a number scheme or date and time, and add, remove, or replace characters. For your MP3 or WMA collection, the program edits ID3 tags or creates name templates based on any combination of tags extracted from the file. In our tests, the program was quite easy to use, demonstrated good speed, and let us preview changes, though we wish it offered a way to undo changes and save renamed files to a different location. It also modifies date and time stamps, renames folders at once, and resizes and converts images. However, the trial version can only process 15 items per run. Despite these drawbacks, the seven-day trial program does its job fairly well, and we recommend it to users who often need to rename large numbers of files and folders.
