Short: Powerful multi-file renaming tool (with GUI)
Author: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se)
Uploader: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se)
Version: 1.44
Type: util/misc
Requires: MUI, TextEditor.mcc, NList(view).mcc, BetterString.mcc
This program is for renaming, usually many files (hense the
name) using special designed Tools to do the dirty work for you!
But you can also 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 length, 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 f.ex a script or as a playlist..
> Import a text file.. - Import new filenames from a textfile, f.ex a playlist..
One of the more useful features of MultiRen is that no files are
actually renamed during your work, but only when 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.

settings to edit. Press the "?" in the plugin list.

* "Map file to filenames" has changed to "Import a text file" but
it's function and purpose is the same. (This is not where you
"load a text file" as said above.)

just want to find some string somewhere in the list and don't
want to mess with the more advanced find function in the Replacer.
Press "f" in the main window!

there is also a progressmeter with time display if an operation
would take long time!
* Filecomments can now be edited with the Renplacer tool!
* Many more minor enhancements..!
v1.2
~~~~
* MultiRen is now Key-mail Ware which means that you have
to send me an e-mail with your name to get a key-file
so you can get rid of all annoying requesters and shit! :-)
It's absolutely free, I just want to know how many cool
users I've got ;-))
Your name will ofcource not be used for anything else
than to create your personal keyfile which will be sent
back to you ASAP.
(Display names without permission is illegal here in Sweden!)

whos new names is in a textfile??
Now you can do it the easy way! Just map a textfile to
your filenames in MultiRen and that's it!

change, improve) your filecomments!
