Is there a way to select certain files? What I want to do is select files created on the current day and then rename them. I don't want to do this manually each day and I don't want to select and rename all files each day.

Hi kodiak, welcome.

Yes:

- load all your files
- select all files (Ctrl+A)
- add Rule AutoDate(8) ; Mode:Prefix ; Type:Current ; Fmt:YMD
- click on the header of NewName column so sort by date (click second time to sort in other direction)
- click at the first file
- scroll down to the last wanted file
- hold the Shift-key and click at this last file to select this all
- press Ctrl+T to "Actions > Reset all criteria" and so remove the timestamp from the preview
- do your renaming with the current selected files

But it may be more easy to sort the files in WinExplorer and then drag&drop to the BRU window.
See Help > Drag and Drop from Explorer
Note to select "Arbeitsplatz / My Computer" first in BRU to clear the list (till one folder).
