A.F.5 comes with a comprehensive online help and many examples that explain how to use the rename functions. Some features: Drag&Drop support; Instant preview; Undo the last rename action; Create batch files; Save your favorite rename settings; Import filenames from a text file."
Fast to rename with the title & numbering sequencing of your choice
Cons
Had to play around with it for 10-15minutes to really get a handle on it...
Summary
Highly recommend thank you
Brilliant! Sequence numbers no problem.

Pros
Very easy to use. It renamed my images with sequential numbers in a second. I'm impressed.
Cons
Only used it for 5 minutes so none yet.
Summary
I needed a program that could rename big batches of images with sequence numbers. This program did it and it was very easy to understand how one works with it.
On all my computers

Pros
Very quick way to rename your files.
Shows preview before it does it.
Allows for undo in the event you messed up!
Cons
It would be awesome if I could access it with a right click, but that's not much of a con.
Summary
I love this software, have been using it for many years, and have had it installed on all my computers since about the time I first found it.
Fantastic .

Does not keep files in order.
fetalblow
Pros
It renames a lot of files at once but...
Cons
Doesn't keep files in order.
Summary
I put episodes of a television series into the program and renamed them numerically but it does not keep the episodes in order. For example, what it labels as episode one is not correct and so on. Without an undo feature this deserves 1 star. This program causes more headaches than it solves.
Did what I needed.
drewsandy
Pros
Worked every time! Changed Names, Extensions & Various Combinations of both.
Cons
Needed to read the help file a little, but after that Smooth Sailing! (I have a problem with reading instructions. I don't do manuals @ Christmas either!.)
Summary
Bottom Line, I highly recommend & the price is right! btw-Running Win 7 Pro.
This is an old program but it works great on Windows 7

Pros
I've been using A.F.5 Rename for many years. It is so useful and flexible and helpful. One of my favorite utility programs!
Cons
It's a little confusing at first but worth the effort to figure it out. This program is actually very easy to use, once you understand it's methods.
Summary
It's amazing how you can tweak the configuration to do all kinds of nice renames with batches. I just installed it on Windows 7, hoping it would still work, and it does!
Easy and Straight Forward
Scott_Z
Pros
Easy to use, got exactly what I wanted in less than 3 min!
Cons
Nothing. This product is a great product.
Summary
I like this product's very simple approach and the option of saving a batch file for the renaming operation. It also has many more options than other similar software, but with out all the frills. All the tools you need with none of the fancy BS that just creates bugs and system crashes. Great little tool.
Zone Alarm flagged this program as a threat.
NockKoIst
Pros
I could not find any pros since I did not install it after the warning from ZoneAlarm.
Cons
I don't like that it has code in it that allows it to quietly modify your system so it can then spy on you despite any protective means you may have installed.
Summary
I always thought CNET made sure the software they hosted was spy/virus/trojan free... this one got past them somehow!
