At least once a month I find myself in a situation where I have to rename a group of files, but there are too many to do by hand and too few to be worth the effort of writing a script to handle it.
Renamer makes complex file-renaming tasks simple by generating a renaming script from a series of simple but powerful transformations - with a live preview to help you visualize the changes you’ll be making.
