Works well, but no Help file or documentation Once all changes are done, the files with new names could be saved to a folder of choice. For example : The file extension ".jpg" could be converted to ".JPEG" in multiple files at a time using the application. ** Change file extensions : Change the extension of multiple files easily. ** Lowercase and Uppercase conversion : Change the generated named to all lowercase of all uppercase. ** Remove characters from desired range : Remove characters from a desired character range and generate new file names without those characters. The first search will be performed in the source file's name.The subsequent searches will be performed in the derived names. ** Search & replace text : Search for a text in the source file's name and replace it with the text of choice. (before the extension) For example : If you append text "NEW" to a file "test.png", the new name will be "testNEW.png" Using "append" option, the text could be appended at the end. Using "overwrite" option, the characters at the specified position could be replaced by new characters. For example : You could insert a text "Holiday" at 5th character. ** Insert, overwrite & append text at specified location : Using the application you could insert a text in all names at a specified location. The application offers various customisable options for renaming the files which are as follows :
#Bulk rename utility windows#
It all becomes available from this point forward.įor what it's worth - the Windows program Bulk Rename Utility works fine in Wine/Playonlinux.Using the application, multiple files could be renamed at once.The application supports all types of files.īy renaming multiple files at once, these could be categorised properly based on category, events or locations. Once the files are selected, go to the "Renamer" tab and select one of the "Available" actions by double-clicking it. As far as I can tell, that would be the way to go for the Windows tool mentioned in the question either, as its behavior is similar.) (I find this annoying, and prefer to put all files that need renaming in a separate folder, and then select the "Picker" tab. But by default all files and folders (of the selected path) are selected and, if you do not want to rename them all, you have to un-select them all by clicking "none" and then select them one by one with single-left-click. You are supposed to first select the "Picker" tab. (A great advantage of the Bulk Rename tool in Thunar is the ability of having a list of files outside the file manager that can be modified easily by drag&drop.)īut once you understand how it works it can be useful. This tool seem less intuitive and complicated for simple operations. I have used Thunar bulk rename for a long time but the above is much more complex and has a feature that I was missing, the option to undo changes. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 Here's its presentation at the above address: There is another tool mentioned there that seems the most advanced: Metamorphose2 I have found a lot of details on tools already mentioned under this question at, and I have edited the answers mentioning them in order to add such details. The tool can be started separately though, and can even be integrated as a custom menu action in other files managers like Dolphin and Nautilus.Įxample for Dolphin: create the file ~/.local/share/kservices5/sktop with these lines: It cannot be installed separately from Thunar but the latter brings very few specific dependencies and can be installed easily. If you prefer to use a different file manager, you may still use this tool. Some details also here (mentioning other tools too). It has different options of action, which together may come close to those of the Windows tool. Selecting multiple files in Thunar and selecting "rename" opens the tool, but it can also be started separately. There is the Bulk Rename utility, which is part of Thunar, the default file manager of XFCE desktop environment (the one used by Xubuntu).
