Whether you want to add sequential numbers,
change case, change extensions, remove or convert spaces, add folder
names or each file's time to its name FileBoss has a quick and easy
routine for doing so. And whether you are renaming files just a few
at a time or batch rename by the thousands the routines work exactly
the same.
Changing File Names to Upper, Lower, or Word Cap
 1) Select the files you want to rename
In the following example we have
selected a group of folders that need to set to lower case. (And
at the same time we will change any spaces in the file names to
underscores).
2)
 Select Actions | Rename... from the main menu
If you want to repeat the last renaming
operation on the currently selected files or folders you can
simply select Rename. Again.. or press Ctrl+Alt+R
start renaming immediately using the previous rename parameters.
The Quick Rename... command will simply
present each of the selected files to you one at a time in a
small dialog so that you can rename them individually. This is
much easier, quicker and safer than renaming a bunch of files
inline, i.e. by pressing F2 for each name.
3) Select the Change Case tab
The display below shows all the tabs
used for renaming files. It
is important to remember that when the OK button is
pressed only the settings in the current tab - in this case the
Transform tab - will be used to rename the files.
Click on the Transform tab it is not already selected.
Select Lower
Case in both the
Change
Names and Change
Extensions groups
Optionally select the Change to _
button in the Change
Spaces group.
4) Confirm the renamed files
After pressing the OK button in the
above step, FileBoss will find the first file to be renamed and
display a confirmation dialog similar to the one below.
You can continue to rename or skip each file individually or
at any time you can Rename All the rest of the
files or Skip Rest thus ending the renaming.
Note that you can edit the new name anyway you like and then
press the Rename button giving you total control over
how the file is named.
5) See the results of the files being
set to lower case
When FileBoss has finished renaming the
files the new names will appear immediately in the Contents
window.
Other options
If the selections had been changed to
Word Cap for
Change Names and
Remove for
Convert
Spaces the result would have
been as is displayed below.
