A utility to rename multiple files

Description

KRename is a tool to rename files easily.

Features

Rename large numbers of files

Rename files, by simply adding a sequence of numbers or changing case

Plugins can be used to rename files using metadata from images, movies, music and more

Usage

Starting in the Files tab, Add the files to be renamed.

- If a file is not wanted, click Remove
- Click Remove All to start over

In the Destination tab, choose the action to be performed on the files

- Rename the files, leaving them in the original folder
- Copy the files to another folder, renaming them. The original files are left untouched
- Move the files to another folder, renaming them
- Create symbolic links in another folder. The links use the naming method requested, the original files untouched

The plugins tab lists the plugins available

- Available plugins are listed in the box on the left. Choosing a plugin displays the tags that are available when renaming files

Filename

- Choose the naming scheme to use when renaming files
  - For Prefix and Suffix, choose Number or Date to add each to the beginning or end of the filename. A custom string may be entered in the box next to the drop-down list
  - Choose an option for the Filename or Extension. Using Custom allows the use of the tags provided by plugins
  - If using numbers, choose a starting and ending range
- The box at the bottom is a preview of the renamed file

Click Finish to perform the renaming operation
