Most renamers I know are either abandoned (and in most cases do not support Unicode), or rarely updated, or tend to become nagware and none of them is cross-platform. I have discovered, tested and used a cross-platform (it runs on Linux, macOS and Windows) open-source and portable one- Inviska Rename. It is easy to use, it seems to be stable, it is still in development and the developer is open to suggestions. I suppose this tool may be useful to those who need to rename files on a regular basis.
Synopsis
FeaturesInviska Rename is a batch file rename tool that allows you to give meaningful names to groups of files. It can be used for renaming music files from tags (screenshot), replacing photograph names like DSC04651.JPG with more useful names like "Spain Holiday - 154.jpg" (screenshot), renaming photos from Exif tags (screenshot), and other renaming tasks.
LinksInviska Rename can perform the following operations:
- Insert, remove and replace text in filename or extension.
- Rename using music tag information, such as mp3 ID3v2 tags, FLAC tags and other audio tags.
- Rename using Exif information from digital photographs.
- Rename using file creation or modification date.
- Automatically number files for easy ordering.
- Change filename to uppercase, lowercase, title case or sentence case.
- Filter items to be renamed based on extension, selection, files only or folders only.
- Save common rename settings for frequent tasks.
- Undo previous rename operation to restore original filenames.
- Show/hide hidden files to include/exclude them from rename operations.
