Mass Rename Help

[alerthost]

Hi Guys, been searching but cant figure out how to do this.

Okay I have a load of folders:

e.g.

Argo
Skyfall
The Hobbit
Harry Potter
Inside each of these folders is a bunch of files, e.g.

.srt
.mp4
.jpeg


What settings do I need so I can just select the Films folder with these folders in it, and rename them all like that,

Is this possible?

Thanks a lot!

Help anyone please?

I can't understood what you are after. Do you want to rename with parent folder name? Then, there are options to remove file name and others to add folder name. Try to explain yourself better, best with 'before' and 'after' path\names.

And BTW, a subject like "Mass Rename Help" for a topic in a renamer forum is not that clever. Please use a better fitting explanation to your issue as subject.

Hi,

So for example at the minute I have a folder called Films,

In that folder there are more folders each with a film in (.avi .mp4) etc and maybe a .txt and .srt



Here is an example of the files inside, so as you see

The Folder is A Haunted House, so I want all files in that folder to be named the same as the Folder



I have around 2000 Folders in Total so doing it manually will take for ages!

Hopefully that makes a little more sense now.

Thank You

DO

Warning first
if you have more then one file with same extension in one folder, this method will lead to error messages due to duplicate file names.
Read the help about Options menu > Prevent Duplicates.
Test this with copies of your files or be sure to have a recent backup.

USE
- Browse to your top folder
- Selection(12) [X]Subfolders
- File(2) Remove
- Append Folder Name(9) Prefix

Hints:
Select the file in the name column to see if something happens.
Take a preview in the new names column before actual renaming.
