Siren v3.12 Updated

Checker on 17 Apr 2013

Siren is a file renamer which allows for batch file renaming based on expressions (kind of an extended Regular Expression syntax). Also allows for insertion of file information (file Date, ID3 tags). Includes undo/redo functions, recursive edits (directory and sub-directories),

Functional in Linux (GTK2 required).

Doesn't support unicode.

The later versions do support Unicode. Siren is a real renaming workhorse, impaired only by a somewhat steep learning curve -- although, if you browse through the included examples you'll shortly find uses for it. It would only really benefit by including a Windows Help file, instead of the embedded text help...

Siren has somewhat of a learning curve, but is the workhorse of file renamers -- and now available also on Linux. Highly recommended.

v3.12
