WinFR Folders is an advanced application with a lot of useful settings for renaming directories by taking into account custom rules. It is geared toward all types of users, even those less experienced.

The setup procedure is rapid and uneventful, and it is carried out with minimal user assistance. As for the interface, WinFR Folders opts for a standard window with a neatly organized structure. You can start by specifying the folders you want renamed, take into account or exclude subdirectories, as well as indicate custom filters.

Folder names can be renamed manually or by applying automatic settings in regard to the numbering, date and time, capitalization, extensions, prefix, suffix, and so on. Before committing the modifications, it is possible to undo any mistakes and try again.

You can also start a script recording to automate the task and play it at a later time. It is possible to create a list with all folders, copy or move folders to other locations, as well as to modify advanced settings pertaining to the folder attributes and name structure.

We have not come across any issues in our tests, since WinFR Folders did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time and runs on low CPU and RAM, so it does not put a strain on computer performance. Its interface could use some work in the visual aspect. Otherwise, WinFR Folders features some pretty powerful settings for automatically renaming folders, and it can be used by anyone, whether they have previous experience with this type of software or not.
