MyFileRenamer

There are situations in which you need to rename a lot of files. For example, you have just taken a lot of photos but your camera produces generic file names and you need to rename them using a certain pattern, so that you will be able to better organize your photos. In this situation, manually renaming the files may require a lot of time and effort. Fortunately, there are specialized applications which can automatically rename numerous files at the same time, using just a couple of mouse clicks.

One such application is MyFileRenamer. This Windows program can rename an unlimited number of photos using various patterns and rules. After installing and launching it, the user will notice that the interface is graphical and all the controls are optimally placed. One can add files into the program's interface in 2 ways, either by selecting each one of them or by importing complete folders.

After adding the desired files, the user will need to configure the pattern that will be used for renaming. There are numerous patterns and rules to choose from and each option will automatically generate a preview, allowing the user to make an idea about how the final names of the files will look. In case one has to rename photos, MyFileRenamer offers the possibility of using the EXIF data from the images as file names. This is useful for organizing and managing large groups of images, because MyFileRenamer will be able to rename them using their taken date or other digital camera characteristics which are included inside the EXIF data.

After the desired pattern or rule is configured, the user will just need to click on the Rename button and the program will quickly modify the file names accordingly.
