FileName Extreme allows you to edit the names of a folder of files. FileName Extreme is much faster than renaming files manually and can access data hidden inside the files (called metadata). Using the Preview function allows you to see what your files would look like if they were renamed, without having to actually rename them. You can also view the metadata fields or export them (e.g. to PDF or CSV).
Overall Steps
1. Choose the folder containing the files you want to rename.
2. Choose the Renaming Type — you can apply multiple changes at once.
3. Choose the file types you want to affect — it will ignore all non-matching files and folders.
4. Get a Preview of the potential new file names.
5. If all is OK, then Rename the files — or Move/Copy them.
