DJADAMJAY  This is an awesome free utility. i use this to rename file names too long to see on my Philips DivX player which has a 14 character limitation. Its especially great for trimming the length of already lengthy file names.

its quick and easy.

thanks to the dev!

JOBBY  Looks good, but really could do with support for regular expressions.

KOBALT  Still love this app! One more request, though. Instead of hiding the 'Check all' and other funtions under the 'Options' toolbar button, can we have them as draggable items to add or delete from the toolbar direct? That'll save having to open the separate 'Options' menu to select these very handy functions, making the use of NameChanger even more enjoyable. Five stars - and if and when my suggestion has been incorporated, you'll get six. :)

NCIANCA  Incredibly useful and functional utility. I've added it to my Finder's toolbar for quick access.

PHALERON  I gave this version a low rating for the simple reason that utilities (even free ones) should not be developed for the very latest OS at the expense of previous ones, even when updates are mandatory, for compatibility reasons.

MRRSOFTWARE  I decided to go Leopard only in the interest of bettering the usefulness of my software. Without Leopard there is no Image Browser, and that was what I felt was the key feature to this release. Please note all previous releases are still listed on my website, those without Leopard are welcome to keep using version 1.3.

KOBALT  Love this little app! I tried several others, but they're all more cumbersome. Five stars from me!

One small feature request, if I may: can we have a button to clear all listed filenames in one fell swoop? That'd save having to select them all and then to hit the '-' button.

PHILIP WING  Excellent utility. Lets me work around GraphicConverter not understanding the m4v (AppleTV) extension.

Feature request: (Unexpected behavior, though)

When you add a folder, it should do *something* to it, rather than just dim the Rename button.

TSUKI  This is great and fast.

I liked to use R-Name but NameChanger is my fav now.

Maybe you can add these options in a future update :

- add/remove characters from start/end or before extension

- change characters to lowercases/uppercases/capitalized words

- add/replace/remove extension

Thx for this free jewel!

GROBLESR  Awesome. Very straight forward UI and superbly fast. Best renaming app I've tried so far, and that includes non-free ones.
