How to Rename Files ?

Below contains the basic steps in batch renaming of images.

1) Click on Load Folders and navigate to the directory/folder where the images are found and click OK. The program will ask if you want to include all sub-folders. If you click Yes, the program will look for all supported images in all the sub-directory under it and include it on the list of images to be processed.

2) Navigate to Settings by either clicking on Settings or clicking on the Settings tab name at the bottom of the Control Center.

3) Go to the Filename Changer section of the Settings and make the necessary setting changes. Do refer to the Settings - File Name Changer for more information.

4) Under File Properties, select the directory/folder in which the processed images would be saved in. If this is the same as the original files, the original files would be replaced and the process is irreversible. It is best to ensure that the directory the images would be saved in would be different from the original.

If however you need to save in the same directory, use the Backup Original function to keep a copy of the original files with which you can retrieve if you need to.

5) To preview the new file names, select the Use Filename Changer on the left navigation bar and click Preview Name Change to see the new filenames. This should appear on the New Filename column in Control Center. The Changes made in the preview is not permanent so you could go back to settings and make the respective changes. You may also change the new file name column entry manually if you want to provide some level of customization. To ensure the changes that you make are not remains, uncheck the Use Filename Changer option.

If you require only filename change with no processing than check on Do Filename Change Only. If the filename change is part of the image processing then leave this option uncheck. Once you are satisfied with the settings, click on Process All and let Batch It! do all the work.
