A Better Finder Rename is the most complete renaming solution available on the market today. That's why, since 1996, thousands of hobbyists, professionals and businesses depend on A Better Finder Rename to organize and maintain files.
A Better Finder Rename's user interface supports complex renaming tasks without sacrificing ease and speed of use. Simply drag the files you want to rename straight from the Finder into the large preview table or the application icon.. or use our Finder context menu and hot key.
The Instant Preview feature eliminates guesswork and costly errors and helps you find the right settings quickly and accurately by providing as-you-type feedback.
A Better Finder Rename offers a complete set of renaming options that are organized into 7 categories covering all the text, character, position, conversion and truncation features that you would expect from a file renamer, but it does not stop there.
Photographers use the advanced sequence number and date & time features to clean up their portfolios or prepare photos for delivery to their client. A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. Support for all major RAW formats (including JPEG, CRW, CR2, THM, NEF, TIFF, RAJ, ORF , MRW, DNG, PEF, SRF, etc.) extends this to professional photographers. Version 8 now also deals gracefully with multiple shots captured in the same second.
System administrators, web masters and other power users will appreciate the presence of advanced features, such as regular expression support, conversion to Windows NTFS/SMB compatible names, the ability to import file names from a database, a spreadsheet or any other source that can produce plain or tab-delimited text files. Last but not least, the ability to save a record of the current and new file names greatly facilitates tracking your files.
Music lovers can use the built-in MP3/AAC support to exploit the id3 meta-data tags embedded in your most music files to create their own naming schemes for their music collection. Meta-data information from mp3, aac and iTunes music store files are supported.
The multi-step renaming feature allows multiple renaming steps to be combined to deal with complex renaming jobs in a single operation. Unlike other tools, A Better Finder Rename allows any number of renaming actions to be combined, re-ordered, copied and deleted.

Dev, make this and do it right and I bet a company like Adobe will purchase it to add into Dreamweaver. Nobody has got anything like this on Mac OR Windows to work with text/code within files. I've searched everywhere. Don't believe? See if you can find a way to "find and replace" text and add sequential numbers to the replaced text with an easy to use GUI? Doesn't exist on any platform.
Only things like this for file (names), folders, etc. --- I would pay good money for this and I think many others would too.

Regex is supported but often you don't need it as the stock pattern library is extensive.
If you deal with a lot of files on OSX and want them named well and tidy this is invaluable.
A great present for anyone who is untidy in their computer filing and wish to do a big clean up without it taking them a year to do it.

Thrice i commented on problems, and those weren't intended as reviews, that's why i labelled them "Troubleshooting".
I have/will contact the dev when i have time.

If ABFR is running, the contextual menu will bring it to the front but the files don't appear.

Since upgrading to 7.8.1, i'm getting THREE duplicate contextual menu items, though i made sure only 1 was present.

Went away for a while after a system restart, but it's obviously not playing nice with some other contextual menu.
The triple entry returned.

Pardon, moi.
Was APE's fault, not ABRFX.

Has usually worked fine, but lately the Contextual menu is sometimes bringing up the window, sometimes not.
And when it does, the app seems to have forgotten how it was previously set, so it's in a different rename mode, or the multi-step interface is active though it wasn't before.
(recently switched to Mac Pro - 10.4.8)
