Mass rename looking inside file

[mohanohi]

Sorry, english isn't my native.

I did a recovery of 10000+ files. The file name were some random name. As these files are sequential file, the name should be intact. The recovery program didn't recover the filename. The filename can be viewed in the hex viewer. Can this software look inside the file and do the rename?

In general no.

Though if the files were pictures (& videos?) & if the files contained (EXIF) "tag" information, which included the file name (tag), you may be able to pull the file name tag from the file & use that to rename the file.

And actually, any file for which a Window "Property" might show a name, you may be able to pull that information from "within" the file too.


So if you (in Windows Explorer), right-click a file, Properties [Details section, it looks like, & "details" excluding the 'File' section in Details], if the Properties dialog has useful information, then you should be able to use BRU to pull that information, to use to rename the file.

Check, Help, Renaming Options, 7:Add, & the "tag" & "window file properties" parts.


Presumably these files were from a file recovery program.
In that respect while it may have "recovered" files, you kind of have to still treat them as "suspect".


And if that doesn't pan out, you could use the Rename Pairs (Renaming From A Text File) feature - but that would include a lot of manual work.
