Rename extensions in subfolders

Postby PunchCardBoy » Thu Jan 13, 2011 4:12 pm

OK, I have searched for the answer but haven't found anything close enough for me to understand exactly what to do. :oops:

OK, so in the tree view I have chosen the folder topFolder. It has subfolders that in turn have subfolders too.

So in the list view I can see the first level of subfolders and the files in topFolder.

Now what I want to do is this:

Rename every file in topFolder and its subfolders that have the extension .flv to .flx but leave all other files untouched. And not change any folder names.

Any suggestions? Image

Under "Selections (12)" uncheck "Folders" and check "Subfolders"
In the list view select all files with the .flv extension
Enter "flx" (w/o quotes) under "Extension (11)" (mode will switch from "Same" to "Fixed")
ack-hh

Thank you for the reply.

I had to download another renaming software to do this but I will have a look at your solution and see if I will get a better understanding, not only for this specific problem but also for how to apply arguments in general.
