Either of those would require some testing that might have taken longer than just manually renaming 130 files. I could have done a little command-line ninja work or write a directory of the files to disk and create a macro that would rename the files. If present, the number was never higher than 3. In my example, 3X5Y, the 3 could be any number from 1 to 6 and the 5Y part could be absent. I liked the "Some File Name" part being capitalized, but the "3X5y" part was annoying. A file I had named "3X5Y some file name.txt" was converted to "3X5y Some File Name.txt". The procedure that processed the files converted the names to title case.

It's not a big deal because Windows isn't case sensitive, so "a file.txt" is the same as "A File.txt" to the file manager. What could be easier? So to be clear, I don't use the Bulk Rename Utility if I need to rename just a file or two.Īround the end of November, I needed to process nearly 150 files using a process that changed the capitalization without my permission.
Why might you need a utility to rename files? After all, it's easy enough in the Windows File Explorer: Just click the file name a second time or press F2 or choose Rename from the ribbon. And thank you, Captain Obvious, for that. The Bulk Rename Utility is, as the name strongly suggests, a utility for renaming files. And besides, I have a couple of good puns.
When You Need to Rename Lots of Files, Choose the Bulk Rename UtilityĪdmittedly this week's main topic is a bit esoteric, but stick with me for a bit because you might find it to be useful at least occasionally.
