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.
Renaming
Files by Changing Spaces
1) Select the files you want to rename
by removing spaces
In the following example we have
selected folders that we want to rename getting rid of the
spaces in the file names.
2) Select Actions | Rename... from the main menu
3) Select the Change Spaces
tab
The display below shows all the tab. 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.
- Check the Change
Spaces box (and make sure all the other command boxes are
cleared, e.g. Change Names, Change Extensions, unless you want other
transformation to be applied at the same time.
- Select the Change to _ radio
button.
Naturally if you would like to remove the
spaces altogether or change them to something else select one of
the other options.
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
When FileBoss has finished renaming the
files the new names will appear immediately in the Contents
window.
5a) Other possible Results
If the Remove
radio button was selected instead of the
Change to _ button and the
htm extension given to all
the folders the results would have been as shown below.
