Quick Renamer - rename multipl

About this app

PowerRenamer

Keywords: multiple renaming of files according to selectable rules (globbing and regular expressions).

Introduction

PowerRenamer allows you to rename all (or some) files in a folder according to certain rules. 4 basic functions are offered:

Insert character in front, insert character in back, delete character, search/replace character

The basic principle of the 4th point is the specification of two patterns: a "search pattern" and a "replacement pattern". This allows (via the optional use of globbing or regular expressions) practically any renaming.

PowerRenamer is based on the app MURx, but can additionally combine several actions into "Jobs", which can be executed with one click. This simplifies the execution of recurring tasks.

PowerRenamer basiert auf der App MURx, kann aber zusätzlich mehrere Aktionen zu "Stapeln" zusammenfassen, wobei diese mit einem Klick ausgeführt werden. Das vereinfacht die Ausführung von wiederkehrenden Aufgaben.

Ratings and reviews

Very typical of an app built by a programmer alone. Runs well, but many UI features are unintuitive and obscure and probably only make sense to the programmer himself. For example, you click delete to delete a string, and the window that pops up obscures the filenames and you cannot move it around. The icon used for backspace, a sort of curved left pointing arrow is more commonly used to signify back, as in navigation, not backspace. Many issues like this everywhere. Font is also much too small

It works, but does not look very great, is missing English translation in places and isn't very easy to use. For starters, every file is selected by default (annoying, also made me question if the check on the left even is selection) and i was very confused that file endings were not included in the regex matching. "insert left", "insert right" and "replace" don't really make it clear that i will rename files by clicking on them neither through text and don't look very button-like either.

well from what I've read this app is just what I was looking for, but unfortunately I'm unable to give a full go since my phone samsung android 11 isn't letting get access to the SD card where 99% of what needs renaming is stored (files/things) but really, though. this app really seemed promising.
