Remove the current name with Name (2) -> Remove and add its title with Add(7) -> Prefix : <(Title)>

Thank you for the reply. I did as you instructed and from the look of it, it works. But when it comes to saving the files, the program shows this error "The system cannot find the path specified". I relocated the folder and checked the files' Titles, and everything looked ok. I can see that the names have been replaced with the titles, in the preview, but just can't save them. Also made sure of the folder permission and administration mode settings.

Hi, do the titles contain illegal characters that are not allowed in the file names?

Hi
Not in the file name, but in the Title yes.

In that case the Title can't be used as is to rename the files as it contains illegal characters. you would need to remove illegal characters from the Title. It could be done with Javascript, but that requires a commercial license if you have it.
