Sensible File Renamer

With the help of Sensible File Renamer you can rename files in bulk by defining rules.

This is an advanced software application that contains powerful and approachable options which are suitable not only for experienced users, but also for rookies. Apart from file names you can change extensions too.

Setting up this tool is a speedy and simple job. It's wrapped in a user-friendly interface that doesn't include particularly attractive graphical elements but it's easy to navigate.

You can select any drive, as well as explore their directories and subdirectories to make a selection of multiple files for the renaming operation. Buttons for selecting and deselecting all files are available.

Sensible File Renamer provides you with several renaming methods: number preservation or generation, left or right trimming, replace, insert or delete characters, as well as convert to lowercase, uppercase, sentence case, or proper case.

The utility can be asked to match the whole word or take into account only the first match, as well as to change the extension in addition to the file name. Before proceeding with the operation, you can preview the original and new file names in order to make a comparison and make adjustments if necessary.

As far as program settings are concerned, you can disable confirmation messages for renaming, show all files and folders (including hidden, system and read-only), lock the scroll bars, and customize the list box's text and background color. There are no other notable options available.

We haven't encountered any unpleasant surprises in our tests as far as stability goes, thanks to the fact that Sensible File Renamer didn't freeze, crash or display error messages. It carried out file renaming jobs swiftly while remaining light on system resources.

Too bad that it hasn't been updated for a long time, and the price of the full package seems too much. Nevertheless, you can explore Sensible File Renamer for yourself if you're looking for an advanced and intuitive tool for renaming files and extensions in batch mode.
