- Short: Powerful multi-file renaming tool (with GUI)
- Author: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se)
- Uploader: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se)
- Version: 1.42
- Type: util/misc
- Requires: MUI, TextEditor.mcc, NList(view).mcc, BetterString.mcc
-
- This program is for renaming, usually multiple files (hense the
- name) using special designed Tools to do the dirty work for you
- or just manually step through the list using a string gadget!
-
- The tools you can use in MultiRen is:
- > Sort - Sort your files anyhow, or shuffle them..
- > FileCleaner - Clean your filenames from unwanted characters and more..
- > Adaptor - Make all you filenames have the same filelength, smart one..
- > Extension Editor - Change/add/remove/clean up your filename-extensions..
- > Renplacer - Advanced wildcard-based rename/replace/find-functions..
- > Numberer - Number your files, or remove numbers. bin/dec/hex/alfa..
- > File Comment - Edit your filecomments anyway you like!
-
- Two useful thing that I didn't classify as tools..:
- > Export list as text.. - Save the list as text for use in a script or as a playlist..
- > Import a text file.. - Import new filenames from a textfile.
-
- One of the more useful features of MultiRen is that no files
- are actually renamed during your work until you decide so and
- then press Rename in the main window!
-
- Another great thing is that you can save the list of filenames
- and their states if you want to continue the next day or maybe
- just to save the list as a backup so that you can undo your
- work at a later state if a tool didn't do quite what you wanted.
-
- You can use it to create playlists, perhaps sorted or shuffled
- if you want.
- You can also edit filecomments in a flexible way, like adding
- date or filelength to them or so.
