It can also be used to delete part of file names. This option allows you to find a part of the name and replace it with something else. In case your filenames start with a lower case, you have an option to shift those to Uppercase. It allows you to change the entire filename (including the extension) to uppercase or lowercase, or just the filename, or the extension alone. The Change Case menu contains various options that can be used to shift the naming style of a file. This isn't recommended unless you know that the files you're renaming have the wrong extension. Suffix options include adding a sequence number (increments by 1), file size in bytes or KB, the folder the files are stored in, date modified, time modified, current date or current time.Ĭlick the checkbox next to the word "Change" to modify the extension of a selected file. You can use them to remove numbers or letters from file names. Renaming templatesįocusOn Renamer has many built-in templates that are handy to rename files quickly. Or if you have the storage space to spare, backup the folder before renaming (and delete it if there aren't any issues). It may be a good idea to take a screenshot of the folder containing the files you are working with, for reference. Warning: There is no undo option, so you may want to double-check the results. Hit the Rename button to apply the changes. This makes it easier to search when you need them.
If you have a folder with images taken at a party or vacation, and they have names like IMG_20170725, you can change it to something meaningful like John's Birthday Party. If you wish to rename the files completely, don't use in the name. Let's look at a simple renaming procedure: I have a directory which has many documents and I want to add a suffix to indicate the month I created them. These options can be customized, say you want to start with number 10 or 85, or to increment the number by 5 or 100. The Increment number will increase the number of each file by 1. In case of similarly named files, the Start Num option will assign the number 1 to the 1st file. This is useful when you want to add a prefix or suffix to the names. signifies that the original file will be retained. Renaming with a prefix or suffixĬlick inside the Name box to enter a custom naming pattern. The arrow keys at the bottom of the window can be used to re-arrange the order of the files. Any renaming option that you choose is instantly reflected in the pane, so you can preview the results of the renaming process in real-time before you decide to apply the changes.
The list can be sorted by name, extension, modified data and file size. The old name, the new name and the folder location of each file is displayed in the pane. So the only way to ditch them is to close the program and restart it. This can get annoying if you accidentally selected some files that you don't want to rename. There is no context menu in the application or a "clear" button in the interface. Remember that if you want to use the command inside a batch file, you need to escape the percent signs in the for replaceable parameters by doubling them.Here's the weird part: you can't remove files from the list. If the output seems correct then we only have to remove the echo and run the command again. Before changing anything, first show to console the commands that will be executed. note: The echo in the command is just a debugging habit.Your command could be something like for /R %F in (*) do echo ren "%F" "Suf_%~nxF" In your case, for your rename mask you need the name and extension of the file being referenced (I've changed your %x with %F so the syntax is clearer) %~nxF

The replaceable parameter allows the usage of some modifiers (you can see the full list if you execute for /?) When you use %x in the commands contained in the do clause, this parameter is replaced by information of the file being processed, by default the name and extension of the file (when using a simple for) or the file with full path (when using a recursive for /R), but you can decide and changee what information you want to use. When you use a for command to iterate over a set of files, the for replaceable parameter ( %x in your sample) contains a reference to the file.
