ReNamer: The best freeware file renamer? (yes says cybernetnews.com)

(1/24) > >>

mouser:
Ryan over at cybernetnews.com has a post up on his favorite file renamer, called appropriately, ReNamer.

I must admit it looks quite compelling, with a simple clean interface that supports chaining of operations and a nice preview window.

--> However, looking at the screenshots I worry that it might be a little low on renaming options compared to some others..





Is it the best? How does it stack up against the shareware competition?
I don't know the answer to that, but there are a few long threads on the DonationCoder forum discussing renamer tools that you might want to check out if you are in the market for a renamer:

Anyone who has tried ReNamer want to chime in with a better replacement?

And ReNamer website here: http://www.den4b.com/downloads.php?project=ReNamer

ps.
Ryan over at Cybernetnews as been absolutely on fire lately, with tons of great posts coming out every days it seems -- I don't know how he's keeping up this pace but it's truly becoming a daily must-read.

My favorite is PFrank (http://www3.telus.net/pfrank). With the regular expressions you just can do anything...

mouser:
PFrank needs a website intervention.  ;D

yksyks:
You're right. It's a pity. But the application itself is very well done. Worth trying, unless you hate regex!  :P

TucknDar:
PFRANK looks very good.

Personally I just use the internal rename tool in Total Commander, however I've use RenameMaster from www.joejoesoft.com as well a couple of times.

I might check out ReNamer, though I'll still mainly use TC
