DirEdit for Windows

Used DirEdit for Windows?

Developer’s Description

By Bart Groot Software

Rename multiple files by editing their file names like in a text editor.

DirEdit can be used to text-edit the filenames of a directory in Windows. The filenames become editable in a text field. This way, batch-renaming files becomes very easy, because you can copy, paste replace (parts of the) filenames. The files will only actually be renamed when the 'Rename files' button is clicked. DirEdit features Use a file filter with wildcards to select only the files in a directory that you want to rename. Replace all occurrence of a string with another string. Append a string to the beginning or end of each filename. Delete first or last n characters of each filename. The application allows copying text from other programs (such as an episode list of a TV-series) into DirEdit. Version 1.3 allows listing the names by name, extension, size or modified date; adds options for reverse sorting and case sensitive sorting; shows the original filenames in a different tab, giving more space for the editable file names. Version 1.4 allows actions sections to be hidden for a more simple user interface, and features new icons and tabs for actions.

Able to rename a batch from a list

Pros
I found that I could paste a list from a text file to rename a group of files in one click. Very helpful if you are ripping a homemade cd which lists as Track 01.wav etc and want to rename the ripped files with the actual titles. If the titles are already typed into a list they can pasted as a group into the "new name" window. A BIG help.

Pros
Simple and effective way to rename files in a directory. The way the file names can be changed is very flexible, and allows you to try various options before applying the changes.
Cons
Would be nice if you could order the files imported.
