Useful Thing- THE Rename This is one of those programs you think you'll never need... until you need it. "THE Rename" makes changing mass file names and file extensions customizable and easy to do. Yes, the program hasn't been updated since the beta v1.7 released in 12-1999 but it works so well I don't see any reason for concern. Here are the features, quoted from the website; it's a long list- "Rename files and folders Rename pictures with their width and height Rename MP3 files Possibility to remove multiple spacing in names Supports long file names Works separately on either the prefix or the extension Add a counter to the end, at the beginning or replace the prefix and/or extension (in decimal, hexadecimal or octal) Convert the prefix and/or extension to lower case, upper case or capitalize the filename Invert the letters in the prefix and/or extension, replace the filename with system date or time, the file's date or time, or both Toggle case Replace the prefix with the file's content Search and replace text Call the program from Windows Explorer with a right click Delete the extension Supports drag and drop with Windows Explorer Keep track of your 20 favorite directories Contextual menu to open, delete, print selection Predefine extensions to select files Add personal file filters Rename or copy files Undo the last rename operation Create a batch file to rename or undo the last operation Create a log file Full online Help Search internal name of truetype files to rename files. For example "times.ttf" becomes "Times New Roman - Regular.ttf" Modify file attributes (hidden, system, read only, archive) and date/time (date of creation, date of last access and date of last modification) Include a language to enable you to rename files exactly as you want Search internal name of HTML files to rename files Delete and rename directories Do multiple file selections and save them Launch a program before and after renaming each file and at the end of the process."
