Total Rename1.0

Freshly grabbing pictures from your camera surely enough takes you through the process of viewing them. However, if you want to keep an organized collection, you might also want to rename them, but it can take some time and effort to manually do so. Luckily, this task can easily be accomplished by applications like Total Rename.

Visual design and portability perks

The application is pretty flexible, and you can carry it around on a USB flash drive to use on the go, because it doesn’t require installation to function as intended. What’s more, this means that the target PC stays intact, since registries are not a dependency and don’t need to be modified for proper functionality.As far as the visual design is concerned, all features are stored in a pretty intuitive interface that makes sure you don’t have any problems accommodating. The main window is split into two sections, which are easy to differentiate because of the colors used for the original file names, as well as the preview area.

Real time preview and instant renaming

You need to make sure that all files you want to rename are all placed inside a single folder, because file selection is not possible. Loading a source directory can either be done by writing down the path, or relying on the browse dialog.Total Rename uses a set of macros to perform this operation, and you can easily choose from the list of presets. As such, you can change the character and extension casing, turn underscore into space and the other way around, replace a specific text string with a custom one, or add prefix and suffix. Preview is instantly generated, and the process finishes in the blink of an eye.

To sum it up

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Total Rename comes in handy for managing large collection of files, or simply applying different attributes to specific file names. Flexibility allows you to carry it around, while the intuitive set of options makes sure both beginners and experienced individuals can rename a bunch of files with little effort.
