KRename: Batch File Renamer

Filed in archive Utilities on February 29, 2008

We all know that files, specially from digital cameras, are named in a specific format that have no information whatsoever about its contents. There are other files that behave the same way, i.e., no intelligible or descriptive filenames. So what do we do, we rename it but if there are dozens of these files, we often write a script to process it so we will not be manually renaming the files individually (yeah, crazy, huh?).

For those who are not script-kiddies or simply those who are not comfortable writing beautiful scripts to batch rename files, this is where KRename comes in. This GUI-based tool simply does that - allow you to batch rename files without writing a single line of script!

KRename is a powerful batch renamer for KDE. It allows you to easily rename hundreds or even more files in one go. The filenames can be created by parts of the original filename, numbering the files or accessing hundreds of informations about the file, like creation date or Exif informations of an image.

This nifty too even has an UNDO feature! How cool is that?

Try it out and tell everyone about this tool! :)
