Solid Renamer1.2.0.5

Grabbing your holiday pictures from the camera or phone might also mean sorting through what stays and what goes. Moreover, file names don’t provide any insight on content, which makes renaming an incredibly lengthy task. Luckily, specialized applications can be used to change the name of more files at the same time, according to specific sets of rules, which is exactly what Solid Renamer does.

Can be used on the go

Although the application asks you to go through a setup process, you can also deploy it on an USB flash drive to use on the go, thanks to some good programming skills. In addition, this means that the computer you’re using it on stays clean, with registries remaining untouched.On the visual side of things, the application shows all of its functions in a clean interface, fitted with a slick design that doesn’t create any confusion, but rather gives it a personal look and feel. Rules are separated from the list of target files, and you can also bring up two additional panels to view log details, and navigate through your computer to easily locate files you want to rename.

Easily set rules and preview results

The application doesn’t target a specific kind of file format, so you’re free to load almost anything as long as it’s not a folder. This can easily be done by dragging them over the main window, or even the host directory itself. A field can be used to filter either by name or extension to narrow down results and to make sure no other files are accidentally renamed as well.When you’re all finished with selecting the files, some rules need to be set up, so the application knows what and how to do. You can add more, with a list showing them according to type and properties. A drop-down menu is used to select from replace, change case, enumerate, insert text, and trim.Each rule comes with its own set of parameters, such as name to replace, position of character to modify, or whether to add something to start or end. There’s also a preview function that offers feedback in real time, in case you can’t quite figure out the output. Pressing Start puts the whole process in motion, taking only a little of your time.

On an ending note

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Solid Renamer comes with good intentions and also gets the job properly done. It can be used by all kinds of experience level individuals, thanks to the intuitive and fresh design. The whole process is easy to set up, with real-time preview, and fast renaming of files.
