rename and move files based on a list import

Postby gb82 » Tue Feb 09, 2021 10:13 pm

I have an excel / csv sheet listing a large number of files and their full file paths, together with a new name i want to change them to, and a new file path. So in essence I need the utility to find the file specified in the first column of the sheet and move & rename it as the second column. Hope that makes sense - does anyone know if BRU can do this?

Hi, yes, you can use the "Import Rename Pairs" function in Bulk Rename Utility for that.

Thanks, I'll have a play with that. Can it move them into new folder paths too?
