Easy access

Use A Better Finder Rename as a stand-alone application, dragging and dropping files onto the application icon or directly into the preview window. Or use it straight from the Mac renamer using either the context menu or the command-control-R hot key combination.

Instant preview eliminates guesswork and errors

Take advantage of the Mac renamer’s instant preview, which lets you see the results of your renaming options while you are typing. The instant preview can be attached to the main dialog or detached into a separate resizable window for extra space.

When you use the Mac renamer’s separate preview window, you can dock it to the right, top or bottom of the main dialog so that it will move along with the main window. You can add and remove files conveniently via drag & drop.

Highly configurable processing

Renowned for its ability to handle thousands of files simultaneously without a hitch, your Mac rename application allows you to:

• Process file names and file extensions separately
• Process files, folders and subfolders
• Choose to confirm each file name or process them all automatically
• Use different renaming mechanisms for situations where remote or external file systems are not 100% Mac compatible

Combine multiple rename steps

You can further save time by combining several rename actions into a single multi-step rename. This allows you to perform even the most complex renaming jobs with just a few simple clicks.

A Better Finder Rename allows you to create as many rename steps as you require and lets you edit and re-arrange them as your needs change.
