You can also make file names Windows NTFS/SMB compatible.
Other renaming schemes include the ability to include path components in the file name, the parent folder name, tags, image dimensions and much more. For this, you use a text file with a simple file list with each line containing one “new” file name or a tab-delimited list with each line containing the current and new file name, or else a tab-delimited file list with each line containing the path to the file and new file name. With another rule, the now superfluous dash in the name can be easily removed.Īnother advanced feature is the renaming of files based on a file list. The round brackets represent the two variables $1 and $2 which you can now switch places to end up with 2020042201_SEQS_MatchEQ-_07_48Hz.aiff. The way it works is that you create a search pattern and place it in a capture group, then use that group as a capture variable to rearrange parts of the file name.Īnd you want to have the first number to sit in front of the text instead of right behind it, this is the Regex pattern you would enter in the Pattern field: For example, you can rearrange elements in a file name using Regex patterns. The app becomes really interesting when you start using its advanced features. For music lovers and sound engineers, you can add metadata that is appropriate in your line of work, etc.
A Better Finder Rename’s rules are order-specific by which I mean that, if you add the underscore before the date and time rule, the space you added will be replaced with the underscore but it will not if you add that rule below the date/time rule.įor photographers, the app lets you add metadata to your image names, long after you shot them. Adding that date and time and replacing all spaces with an underscore is done with two rules. For example, adding a date and time with a space at the end at the beginning of a file name is done with one rule. It has Regex pattern replacement capabilities and allows you to rename your files in many ways, but A Better Finder Rename’s feature set is far more complete with some advanced functionality even I wouldn’t have thought possible.įirst of all, A Better Finder Rename lets you rename files using one or several rules that you compound. The only batch renaming functionality I have tried out so far, has been the one implemented in Path Finder which is quite powerful. It’s a batch renaming app that supports very simple renaming schemes all the way to very complicated ones. A Better Finder Rename has existed for a very long time.
