RUBAIYAT I am balking at paying this steep upgrade fee for what appears to be cosmetic changes. It seems the real bugs haven't been fixed with the presets. How hard could it have been to include a Help or Manual to explain yourselves? That's the trouble with changes without real improvements, makes users rethink their loyalty. Sorry but I am off seeing what NameMangler can do for me.

PHILIPP M. Thank you for your comment and your interest in Renamer. We're currently working on a new help system and will release it shortly. Regarding the bugs: please could you send us the details of the problems you're experiencing? We're committed to fixing any errors but please do let us know about them!

MAILMUPO It is expensive at $29, especially bcoz you could easily rename files through a selfmade automator (apple automator tool) worklflow app which will not take more than 2 minutes to setup.

THEMADCOW I'm not impressed. It's hard to use and not intuitive in the least. I had high expectations from the website, the app looks just like 'it works'. But it doesn't. The simplest of tasks, remove ".zip" from a series of files. Either the functionality is hidden or it's defective. Either way, back to the drawing board on this app. I'll take another look with the next version.

PHILIPP M. Did you try this: 1. Drag in your zip files 2. Add a "Find & Replace" renamer 3. From the gear action menu select "Suffix only" 3. In Find enter "zip" and in Replace your new file extension | |

RUBAIYAT Be nice if you had at least an elementary manual or Help. I was trying to find out if there is a way of generating a series of numbered folders from 1 starting folder and just ended up chased my own tail.

AIKOUSHA Another update, another test, more bugs (or should I say still the same bugs). Presets are still a major nightmare... You can only assign them AFTER you have renamed something, or they don't fix to the right search/replace strings. If the preset loses the name you give it (which it does frequently), it says "new preset", until you TRY to rename it. Attempting to rename a preset has severe issues, as simply clicking on a line forces whatever name was previously selected, and does not allow you to type in the proper name. Even if the name shows properly in the list (as if you had successfully renamed it), it does not show properly on the pulldown button... I kept getting "New Preset" until after several rename attempts, and then it started inheriting the names of other presets, and never the right one. If it has issues with non-alphanumeric characters that might be the problem, as the names I tried to assign were: "_[Suffix]", "[Prefix]_", " - to spc", "_-_ to spc", "_ to spc", and spc_spc to spc" (when the previous refused to name properly. In the end the presets had "[Prefix}_" and seven instances of "spc-spc to spc", yet they all had different functions. but since I can't memorize what they do, if not labeled right, it's basically now a useless function. Thankfully I was only doing a test-drive. IMO, common sense dictates that you should save presets BEFORE clicking the Rename button, and the list for renaming needs to work like other lists where double clicking while "editing" the list will allow renaming, and dragging (which doesn't seem to exist) will re-order the presets. I may be picky, but the presets have never worked right (or at least within common sense) since it has appeared. I just keep with the old version, with the previous interface (no presets) since the next feature I would want to work with, would be the presets. It's beautiful, otherwise.

RUBAIYAT My observations exactly especially the failure to retain the name of Presets. Otherwise it is a more straight forward app to use than ABFR, which makes me think too hard everytime I must use it.

AIKOUSHA This new version crashes whenever there is a name with kanji in it... and what was the problem with "" instances? Oh, well.

PERSON1229 There are far too many renaming apps now. And nothing can beat Automator for me...

XPLICIT You can get an application like Spore for 49.95$. So, especially compared to Spore, why is this batch renamer 26 bucks again?

NEUTRALZONE This is a genuinely useful utility. You can justify the cost on the grounds that a good file renamer can potentially make back $26 of labor when applied to hundreds or thousands of files, where Spore has no function that I know of that could make back the price of either app. That said, I stopped using Renamer4Mac when it changed to a paid app. Using NameMangler now.

MARK EVERITT I know a lot of people like a nice GUI, but the terminal comes with your mac and with just a little effort to learn your way around, tasks like batch renaming become trivial. http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html The first example pretty much does everything you'd ever need in this program.

NEUTRALZONE Sorry, SED won't work. No drag-and-drop integration with Finder and standard photo apps, must learn geeky syntax, can't see where you can number files, extreme potential for unchecked user error...I bought a Mac so that I wouldn't have to deal with nerdy command lines (I use NameMangler, which is as free as the Terminal but much less torture, but used to use Renamer4Mac which is also very nice).

MARK EVERITT I don't get this allergic reaction some people have to the terminal. If you want a bit more finder integration then use http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24105/%3e-cd-to-... to put you in a terminal in the current directory in finder and the rest is a sed one liner. I agree there's a lot of potential for user error, but you can get sed to echo what it'll do before wrecking up the place. I guess my point is that nice GUIs go a long way, but at the end of the day there will always be those tasks that are better suited to the terminal. It's a shame I know. I'd rather have a nice graphical doodad to do this in a clever way using finder but nothing I've seen (forgetting cost for a moment) comes even close to the capabilities of sed. I'm not a computer scientist you know, and even my modest mind can cope with a bit of command line.

MR.ASH Why pay for this software when Apples Automator does the same job for free?

POMPON This software is very simple and rapid with a lot of functions. Preset is very useful ! When I had version 2.8, I used the donation button and now with the lastest version I have a free licence thanks to the developer. Don't forget to make a donation when you use a donationware, before it becomes a shareware !
