![]() The posts referenced above illustrate how the change was unfolding over a period of at least 5 years, taking into account the feedback of the community of users. Such comments only demonstrate disregard and ignorance of the author. Regarding the comments that the switch occurred suddenly or secretly – that is simply not true. That post also references an older post that highlighted some of the precursor issues 5 years earlier ( ). You can read the full explanation and the reasoning behind it on the news board and the forum ( ). In summary, if this switch did not take place, there would be no further development and the den4b project would cease to exist long ago. But having gotten accustomed to Advanced Renamer, I missed the option to restore names of the previous batch and some advanced options.The switch to the Lite and Pro editions was a very difficult decision but a necessary one, one that took years to shape up. Rename Us is fairly good for batch renaming files, the interface is quite easy to get used to. A premium version is available, the only differences between it and the free version are that Rename Us Pro can rename files from the command line, create folders automatically when renaming files, and write an extended log file with a custom script. The Undo button can be used to revert to the previous filenames, but this only works for the current session. Ready to rename the files? Switch to the Execute tab, and click on the "Execute" button. If you find something that needs fixing, head back to the rules and execution parameters and change them. Click the execute button to simulate the renaming process and check the results. Worried that something might become messed up in the renaming process? That's what the preview tab is for. Go to the next tab, "Choose execution parameters" to select the location where the files should be saved (source or a different folder), decide whether Rename Us should overwrite the files? Save the process record in a log file in TEXT or HTML format. You can save your session as a Rename US project, and come back to it anytime. The rules for file extensions are exactly the same, but you can define them separately in the bottom pane. When you add a rule for file name, it is displayed in the top pane along with the parameters you selected and a preview of the file name. A few of these renaming rules have a built-in preview option that displays what the new file name would look like. The enumeration option allows you to replace the file name with a schema, or use it as prefix or suffix, and optionally select schema separators. It has options to use enumeration, change text to upper case or lower case, replace a substring with new text, add prefix or suffix, cut a prefix or suffix, custom expression, change Cyrillic symbols to translit. Click the drop down menu under the "Rules for file names". The program can be set to copy the files or move and rename them. The next step is to configure the renaming rules, head to the second tab, "Specify renaming actions". ![]() You may use the context menu for copying the file names or to export the data. The export options in Rename Us allow you to directly save the data in a TXT, CSV, XLSX, HTML, XML, or SYLK file. The copy button copies all file names, with their full path, modified date, file type, size and creation date. The toolbar above the queue can be used reorder the items which can be useful if you're using an incremental renaming method, or you can randomize the list. The files that you add are displayed in the large pane at the bottom. Or, click the double-arrow icon to add all files and folders to the queue. Select multiple files using the Shift key, and click on the icon with a single arrow to add them to the rename queue. Mouse over the dots below the pane and the cursor changes to a drag pointer, use it to resize the view to display more files. ![]() Note: The default view mode of Rename Us is pretty small, you can only see three files in the right pane. You may enable the option to include subdirectories and make read-only files display too. When you have made your selection, the pane on the right will display the files in the chosen directory. The top left pane is the tree pane which you can use to select the folder where your files are stored. There are three panes in the select files tab. Rename Us' interface is divided into several tabs. Recently, I came across a similar program called Rename Us.
