Welcome to the A Better Finder Rename 8.

Version 8 is a major upgrade and free to customers who have purchased the product after the 1st of January 2007 or who own a forever license. Other users will need to purchase an upgrade.

Here are some of the highlights of the new version:

  • New User Interface
    • fully resizable single window with larger preview area
    • renaming actions are now organized into 7 intuitive categories
    • countless incremental improvements
  • Save-able Presets
    • save your current settings to a preset
    • restore them with a single click
  • New Renaming Engine
    • is now database-backed for larger renames and more advanced features
    • automatically resolves file name conflicts by inserting configurable distinguishers at the end of conflicting file names
    • previews all files that will be renamed (no longer limited to 250 items)
    • fully multi-threaded means that the UI never blocks even when previewing or renaming large renaming jobs
    • optimizes the order in which items are renamed so as to avoid "deadlocks" (i.e. situations where one file can't be renamed because a previous file has not yet been renamed)
    • extensive progress information is provided at each stage (no more beach balling)
  • Automatic Software Updates via Sparkle

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A MAC OS X 10.5 LEOPARD ONLY DOWNLOAD

Version 10.10 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Version 7.9.9.3 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

Version 8 takes full advantage of the new system capabilities of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and as a result it will not run on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or earlier system versions.

If you have not yet upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5, don't worry. Version 7.9.9.3 is a still a very capable product and you can always upgrade to version 8 later. All purchases include version 7 and version 8.

You can run both version 7 and version 8 side-by-side on the same system. Your version 7 droplets will continue to launch with version 7 and cannot be upgraded to version 8, which has different capabilities.
