CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on May 28, 2009
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.

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.

Version: ReNamer 5.50
Pros: took me a bit of time and trial to figure out how to work it but it did a great job renaming batches of mixed file types that i would have had to rename by hand (300 files at a time), i can preview and make minor adjustments before finalizing
Cons: none so far other than i resent that i have to download an extra program to do something as basic as renaming files
Summary: i really like this little program, it's not intrusive to my system, it has so many functions i haven't used them all yet, it lets me check my work before making any changes, and it saves me and my carpal tunnel wrists a lot of agony when working wit... read more >>

Version: ReNamer 5.50
Pros: I had been quite happy using CKRename... until I discovered it no longer had a "home page." I tried ReNamer and found that it did everything I had ever asked of CKRename - and more.
Cons: Its only "con" is one that was shared by CKRename - the inability to use the program to rename folders. While I don't often desire this ability, it would be nice to have.
Summary: While this is a very capable program, one thing I really liked about CKRename was the way it automatically loaded an entire folder into its "queue" when that folder was opened via the right click menu. CKRename also has a pseudo-Explorer view that m... read more >>

Version: ReNamer 5.50
"Great Download, Works Very Well"
Pros: Had 22 MP3's renamed within 2 minutes of DL, including time to read the manual. Files were then converted to .ogg, and all worked fine with no corruption or damage. Nice Interface, easy rules.
Cons: None. I even registered with c-net just to leave this a review.
Summary: Intuitive, Easy to use. Does a complex job with simplicity. Had DL'd the 'bulk renamer utility' prior to this and never got past entering a file name. It's hard to put this much power into such an easy to use package, but this one does it very well.... read more >>
