About NameChanger
NameChanger does one job: renaming a list of files. You add files through the interface or by drag and drop, choose a method, and see the new names update in a second column as you type before clicking Rename.
Methods include replacing the first, last or all occurrences, wildcards, append and prepend, dates, sequences, character removal and insertion, regular expressions and case changes. Folders can be added recursively. It runs on macOS 10.13 and later, with older versions available for earlier systems.
Strengths
- Live preview of new names as you type
- Regular expression and sequence renaming
- Recursive adding of files from folders
- Simple drag-to-Applications install
Limitations
- macOS only
- No metadata-based renaming mentioned
