How to Use RenameMan
Want to change the same text in lots of filenames?
The best way to do this is to use the RenameMan menu command that is available from the Windows File Explorer right-click context menu.
Simply select the files you want to rename in Windows File Explorer, and then right-click to open the Windows File Explorer context menu. This opens a menu like the one shown to the right.
Select RenameMan, then Text Change, and this brings up the dialog shown below, with any text common to all the selected filenames in edit boxes ready for changing!
Make the changes needed and press Rename, and all the selected filenames will be renamed.
Do you regularly need to rename files the same way?
RenameMan lets you store any rename command that you can set up. These stored commands are also available directly from the Windows File Explorer right-click context menu. These are all the menu commands that appear in the RenameMan submenu below the Text Change menu command.
RenameMan comes with a number of pre-defined stored commands for useful rename operations, such as adding leading zeros to a number in the filenames to make the number 4 or 8 digits long.
You can also add your own stored commands that can be as simple or sophisticated as you need.
Benefits of Stored Commands:
- Extremely quick to use - just select files and choose from the context menu
- Can save time even when renaming just one file
- Just as easy to rename thousands of files with one click
- Helps ensure you rename files consistently
- Easy to share with other RenameMan users using Copy/Paste Command
