    I take alot of photographs in Home. So I need to mass change alot of file names sometimes. Irfanview is a great FREE program for that on the PC.

    When I want to mass change just one word that is in alot of filenames for alot of files, there's another program I use called Flexible Renamer

    I use the Rename function alot. Most of the features on this program I don't have a need for. But I use Rename alot. It's FREE. It even works with japanese names.

    If you need a rename program on the PC, it's free and very powerful!

    yes! That's one of the main reasons I got it. I have the same problem with some programs. I replace "画像" ("picture") with just "JP" for all photos from Japan.

    Works like a charm!


    Often I delete "-2011" from all file names. Then I change the first half to "2011-". That way All my photos are in nice chronological order. :D
