Sort Out Your Computer Using A Batch File Renamer
Messes don’t just happen in the physical world they also happen on our computer, in the form of files. Almost everyone originally planned on keeping his or her computer nice and organized.
In the beginning you may have kept all of your picture files in one directory. Maybe you also labelled all files with the same style of name such as a date and event as a part of the name followed by a numerical succession. But over time you downloaded pictures from a trip and forgot to name them. Maybe it was because someone e-mailed the pictures that had different filenames that you saved somewhere in your system with those foreign names.
It won’t take long before your computer is a jumbled mess and you need to get down to work and rename files so you can start to figure out just what is what. You can do this in a few different ways.
If you want to waste a lot of time you can go file by file and change the names and locations of them on your computer. With only a couple of files that need their names changed or to be moved to a different location on the computer this is not such a bad way to go.
If there are a lot of files that need to have a name or location changed, however, this is going to take way too long to do. In that case you need a batch renamer program. This program does just what the name implies, allows you to change the names of files in large groups. For example, if you have a bunch of pictures of your last family reunion that are not named properly, you can highlight all of those pictures at once and with this type of file renamer change all of their names to something that makes sense in seconds. Forget the old way of changing files one at a time, using this type of program lets you get everything sorted out in no time flat.
When you realize a bunch of pictures are out of place, just highlight all of them in one window and tell the system where to move them all in the batch renaming program.
The truth is a renamer program is the perfect way to perform a little spring cleaning on your computer and get everything back to just where you want it.
