Rename It! Pro

The actual renaming functionality without leaving the Metro/8.1 interface is very strong. I particularly like that there's a checkbox option to automatically normalize the leading zeros in a _000n suffix. So you can just specify "1" for the index suffix and if you have only 99 files in the folder, the app will automatically add _01, _02, etc. But if there are 1200 files in the folder, the app will automatically add _0001, _0002, and so on. The only flaws with the program are: 1) The workflow is a little unintuitive and there is no Help, so you have to experiment a little bit to figure out how to do stuff. In particular, the file renaming options are laid out and labeled in a way that makes sense to developer types, but not necessarily to your average non-developer. 2) The app gives no "processing feedback" when it needs to take more than a few seconds to do something. If you've just selected a folder with 1000+ photos in it, for example, it appears to do nothing for 20-ish seconds.

Great concept, but when closing my folder, I can't see the photos so I don't know what to add. For example, if I want to make it by events for work, I can't see the photos to add. I just have to blindly select. Kind of counterintuitive. Useless until this is fixed.

Yesterday I purchased Rename It! Pro and renamed within minutes over 5,000 images. All images renamed consecutively in spite of a mixture of JPG and RAW. What a powerful and easy to use program!

Just got back from vacation - my wife and I use iPhones - and because Apple only uses a 4 digit naming convention for photos, we had many photos that had the same file name. We keep photos in a uniquely named vacation folder for each vacation - couldn't put her's and my iphone photos in the same folder because one would overwrite the other - destroying one photo. Solution was this great program - I just appended my wife's name to be back of each of her photos - took about 2 minutes learning, and 20 seconds execution. This program renames IMG_6690.jpg as IMG_6690JO.jpg - program renamed 500 files sequentially. HIghly recommended.

Just does what it purports to do. Refreshing.

I just bought this to rename a bunch of files. The UI takes just a minute to figure out, it isn't immediately clear how to proceed from file selection to actually programming it to do what you want, I might suggest an arrow between Files and Settings (e.g. Files -> Settings) or perhaps number them (1) Select Files 2) Configure 3) Run!. That said it seems plenty powerful to me and it saved me having to rename a bunch of files. I'm glad I bought it!

I use this app on a weekly basis to batch rename my DSLR camera roll from video shoots. There had been a bug where it overwrote one of my files, and I emailed the developer. He had a fix within days. Thanks!

It has been an ongoing complaint since XP that you cannot sort pics or files/folders manually, only by name, date, etc., Unfortunately, even changing the names using the window rename feature does not help as windows will sort using the original name even tho you will no longer see the old file name. I was hoping by changing the name using your software, windows would recognise the new name, but it did not happen.
