Ratings and Reviews
Great lil app - but issue with 1.4 and 1.4.1
I agree with clocker918's comment below - The latest revision has a flaw that renders the app worthless. When you add the files, it's doing so in a random fashion. I tried to sort my files in many ways to see how's it sorting it but I can't figure it out! Looks like it will just list files in a random order and I cannot correctly rename my files. Please correct this bug asap!
Just got a quick reply from the support team - "In the meantime, please add your files to Rename It using one of the alternative methods to avoid this issue. This issue seems to only happen if you add files using the add button or the "Add Files..." option from the File menu. If you drag the files from the Finder to the file list in Rename It, the files will be loaded in the same order they appear in the Finder. This also works if you select the desired files in the Finder, right click on the files, and choose "Rename with Rename It."
Excellent App! - Does what it says for a reasonable price.
I needed something to rename files for mass document changes at work because we are rebranding the company after being divided by a sale. I used “Perfect Rename” first… big mistake. Every function in the app required more money to add functionality. The only thing perfect rename did that I’d like to see in this app is a flowchart to add multiple changes to the name e.g. “Text add > Text replace > Date append” which excecutes in that order.
I highly recommend this app over anything else, it’s cheap and reliable and if you need to make multiple changes to the name, just drag the files in again like I did! Don’t pay $30 for crap you don’t need.
Great little app!
There are a few apps in the App Store that do batch renames and I've used a few but this one is by far the best. It's simple, straightforward and convenient with a lot of flexibility. Well worth the price. This may sound superficial, but I am glad this latest version has replaced the ugly old icon.
