Name Mangler overview

Name Mangler (was File List) is an easy-to-use batch file re-namer.

If you need to rename several files at once, this is the application you have always been looking for. Name Mangler is a batch file renamer that supports the following renaming tasks: Find and Replace (including support for regular expressions); Number Sequentially; Change Case; Set Extension; Add Prefix/Suffix; Remove/Insert Characters.

Moreover, you can combine all of these using the Advanced renaming mode, which even comes with some extra features, such as conditional statements, nested counters, and more. But Name Mangler is more than just one versatile renaming utility - it's an infinite number of task-specific renaming utilities: Name Mangler's Droplets make it ridiculously easy to store configurations and use those repeatedly for different, alternating purposes. Just drop your files on them.

What’s new in version 3.8

  • Droplets now get their own creation dates, instead of inheriting their creation date from the Name Mangler app itself.
  • Revised Services implementation to restore functionality on recent versions of macOS.
  • By default, the rename menu item's title is now always "Rename" or "Rename…" (depending on the 'ask before renaming?' preference), which makes it possible to assign a custom keyboard shortcut.

Been using this when it was first released as File List, before Many Tricks. These guys are pretty much my favorite Mac app developers. They gave us Butler, for chrissakes. (You know that app called Alfred that everyone seems to love? They did it first with Butler and I've been using it for a decade. Just sayin'.) Never had a crash. Never had any issues at all. As a retoucher, it makes my job so much easier when it comes to batch renaming dozens, sometimes hundreds, of images.
