Rename All Files At Once

[SevengerNC]

Coming from Win it was pretty simple to rename a bunch of files in a folder all at once, but the only thing I've seen on MAC is to do it with Automator which I have yet to master. All I want to do is rename 8 photos, and it seems like I have to go thru an act of Congress to do so.

Is there a simple way to do this?

Thx

Look into the program namechanger

Perhaps that is along the lines of what you were thinking?

For renaming large numbers of files/folders, I use Name Mangler and I've heard good things about NameChanger.

Thanks guys. I'll give 'em a shot.

They probably are

Note, with the app store, apps that are free on the dev's site may very well cost money on the app store. I always look for the app on the both places to see if there is a difference.

The app that comes to mind is cyberduck....free on the dev site but like 30 bucks on the MAS

Just checked name mangler, it's free for the first 25 launches. Wish there was a similar app that's free.

You can still use it after 25 launches. After that, you won't be able to rename more than five files at a time, and you won't be able to create or use droplets until you purchase a license. I still have a version that I installed back when it was completely free.

Namechanger is free....
