Batch rename

[SoCu]

Hi, how can I rename file names, which also contain part of the original name?

For example, files with names:
3T1A8393.jpg
3T1A8394.jpg
3T1A8295.jpg

Rename them as:
Uno_3T1A8393.jpg
Uno_3T1A8394.jpg
Uno_3T1A8295.jpg

Or:
3T1A8393_uno.jpg
3T1A8394_uno.jpg
3T1A8295_uno.jpg

Keeping the original name, or part of the name.

Is there any way using special characters, to achieve this?


Thank you.

Hi,

If you want to keep the original file name try this {Filename}_Uno

[SoCu]

Great Franky, this way I have been able to change them.

There is some list of these commands, to see that more things it allows, because for example to change some characters for others, it is possible to make, or this already is to curl the curl.

[Franky]

Yes you can modify a character string by another with the "Replace" function

[SoCu]

Yes you are right, easier than I thought, having disabled that option, I was thinking of doing it from the "template name" section.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm going to ask here, not to open a new post, how to rename.

The question is... is there a possibility to rename folders ?

Thank you.

[Franky]

Hi,

Yes of course, a right click on the folder or F2

[SoCu]

Yes, that can be done when it is a single folder.

I forgot a detail, it is to rename for example 50 folders, but changing some character, for example:
J_J_1111
rename to:
J J 1111

Rename folders is always a bit dangerous; you can loose a lot of files if there is a mistake.

I think it's not possible witk XnviewMp.
XnviewMP can change folder names for selected files, but only if the new folder already exists
(= move files : example: rename D:\2023\Sept\DSC0001.jpg and replace \Sept\ by \09\ )

I use Ant Renamer freeware :
-Add folders (only "add selected folders" option)
-Actions "String replacement" ... with only "Replace all" and "case sensitive" options if useful
- Click "Refresh preview" (F5) button
... if it's OK, Go !

Thanks, in the end I used another dedicated application for this, and it does warn when you rename folders containing files, but it has an option to not select folders and not files, this way I was able to rename them.

Thank you.
