With Renamer NG it takes only a few seconds. You start by selecting the directory that contains all the files that you want to rename. They are listed in the main panel afterwards. Now click on Operations > Replace. This opens a new menu with five options: Replace, With, Match Case, Before and After.

• Replace defines the characters that you want to replace with different ones.
• With are of course those characters that you want them replaced with.
• Match Case defines if your input is case sensitive
• Before displays how the filename looks like before the changes
• After shows how it would look like after the changes, both in realtime

This is the basic process. Renamer NG offers much more though. You can add more than one dir and additionale files, filter files, insert characters, use regular expressions and add the current date and time to the filenames. I’m not able to list all of the options but you have to believe me that there are plenty of them.

I especially like it that it is easy to use so that everyone will be able to change filenames. Computer Geeks on the other hand will love the additional renaming options such as regular expressions.
