CNET Editors' review
This free file management program features a basic design and drag-and-drop functionality. It's extremely easy to use, as we were able to successfully apply sweeping changes to batches of files.
We encountered one glitch with ReNamer that involved its Help feature. When we tried to access it during the start-up and through the user interface, it produced an error and we were unable to view the Help PDF. Still, the program was very easy to navigate without any guidance. It walks you through the process of adding file and folder rules. Simply select the action (insert, delete, replace) and, depending on the action that you choose, you can select the word(s) you want to apply, and where you want to apply it (prefix, suffix). We liked the Preview feature that let us see our changes before we applied them, and once we clicked the Rename button, our changes were immediately applied. Should you make a mistake, the Undo option will do just that, but only for your most recent renaming task. The program does include a filter feature for folders that allows you add or skip files.
Both novice and experienced users will appreciate this program's even performance. Even though we couldn't access the program's Help feature, we still recommend it as worthy file management program.
Publisher's Description
From Denis Kozlov:
ReNamer is a very powerful and flexible file renaming tool, which offers all the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, replacements, case changes, as well as removing contents of brackets, adding number sequences, and changing file extensions. For advanced users, there is a PascalScript rule, which let users program their very own renaming rule Program allows you to combine multiple renaming actions as a rule set, applying each action in a logical sequence, which can be saved, loaded, and managed within the program. In addition, it has an ability to rename folders, process regular expressions, Unicode capable, and supports variety of meta tags, such as: ID3v1, ID3v2, EXIF, OLE, AVI, MD5, CRC32, and SHA1.
What's new in this version: Version 5.60 fixed problem with ExecConsoleApp function which forced the target process to freeze if it would send a lot of data to the standard output and addded "Repeat" option to the Incremental Serialize rule.

"A well-designed & extremely useful utility"
Version: ReNamer 5.60
Pros
Covers almost any file name change you'd ever want to make.
Absolutely accurate.
Saves an enormous amount of time.Cons
Suggest it could be made clearer that "ANALYSING" an existing file name can give essential positional information regarding deletes and inserts.
Summary
I really love this program.
