HotFiler1.0

HotFiler is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to change and clean filenames by removing obsolete characters, numbers and special characters with suffixes and prefixes that make them easier to identify.

Clean, minimalistic UI and straightforward functionality

Following an uneventful setup, you are welcome by a simple, yet intuitive interface that is unlikely to give you any trouble. As you probably figured out from the GUI, making changing or cleaning the filenames can be done in a simple, three-step process.After you have selected the desired directory and specified whether you like to include the subfolders, you can view and select the file types that you want to modify. In the lower area of the interface, you can select the settings for the filename changes or cleanup.

Allows you to replace file properties with accuracy

The advantage of the program stems from the precision with which you can change the name of the files. To be more precise, you can remove an exact number of character from either the left or right side of the filename or replace a string, prefix or suffix with more suitable ones, that are easier to identify.Moreover, once you find the configuration that works for you, you can set the app to restart the pattern for each folder you browse through.It is important to note that the changes to the files are permanent and hence, you should be careful when removing characters or adding suffixes or prefixes to the filename. Considering the amount of time it would take to correct the accidental renaming of dozens of documents, it would have been helpful if the app included an option to revert the changes.

A file manager that can save you time and energy

In the eventuality that you have decided to organize your photo, video or document collection and would like to get things done faster, then HotFiler can help you clean and make suitable modifications in the filenames.
