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, replace specific text in file
names or to change file names to the true DOS 8.3 format, 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 Sequentially
1) Select the files you want to
rename with sequential numbers
In the following example we have
selected jpeg files that have just been imported from a
digital camera.
2) Select Actions | Rename... from the main menu
3) Select the Add Sequential Numbers
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
Sequential tab - will be used to rename the files.
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.

4a) Use optional image Viewer while
renaming files
If you are renaming image files you can
turn on the Image viewer (ad denoted below) and FileBoss will
display the current image. This is particularly helpful when
naming files individually or in deciding which files to rename
or not.
Note that the Image Viewer can be moved
and resized to fit you workspace.

5) See the results
When FileBoss has finished renaming the
files the new names will appear immediately in the Contents
window.
Renaming Sequentially with Just
Numbers for Names
By clearing the Prefix and Suffix
fields and setting the the other options to start at number one
we can instruct FileBoss to rename the files by replacing the
the name (not the extension) with a serial number.

 Even More Options
Serial numbers can be used as the
extensions for files or put anywhere in the name itself using
the Advanced panel for renaming files.
