Haven’t gotten around to using Automator for all of your mundane, joyless, repetitive tasks? Need to rename a big number of files with a huge amount of hurry? BatchRename’em is the Mac utility for you.
As much as we cringe when an application uses “‘em” in its name, BatchRename’em makes up for it with its easy effect. The application allows you to batch rename files and folders in a number of ways, including:
- Make Sequential
- Add Text
- Replace Text
- Change Case
- Add Date or Time
To get started, double-click the BatchRename’em icon. You’ll be met with a finder window where you can select any number of files simultaneously. After you’ve selected the files you wish to rename, a drop down menu is presented, and you can select the rename function that suits you. Hit continue, and BatchRename’em goes about its business.
All in all, BatchRename’em is a quick, sparse tool, with a easy, easy to use interface that harnesses the built-in power of Automator without being too complex. BatchRename’em is a free download for Mac OS X, and is confirmed working on Tiger (it has yet to be tested on Leopard).
