A Better Finder Rename is a tool that allows you to rename multiple files simultaneously.
You can use it in a variety of different ways, but below we only describe the most common scenario to get you started:
- In the Finder select the files you want to rename and drag them into the preview window on the right of the main window
- Select a category from the
Category:popup menu - Select a renaming action from the
Action:popup menu - Adjust the settings below those popup menus
- Click on the
Perform Renamesbutton
Note that the available controls change when you select a new action and that the effect of your settings is immediately
reflected in the Change to column of the preview table.
