Title: Bulk File-Renaming Tools
Post by: ford prefect on May 05, 2006, 09:12:52 AM: I'm looking for tools to rename large amounts of files at once. Wondering if anyone else has anything they would recommend. So far I just grabbed this one:

Looks good, pretty much all the features I need. Any others that folks have stumbled across that they would recommend investigating?
