Folders Bulk Rename from File

Postby SAMyMAS » Wed Apr 16, 2025 9:53 am

Hi All,

Unable bulk rename from text file to folders but it works on files. Filters (12) - Filters, Files selected

I would appreciate if someone advise/point me how to do it.

Thanks, these 2 entries would not rename the folders, but just the 2 files.

Thank you for follow up.
Can you elaborate on this, please. What’s the logic/conditions for bulk renaming folders from text file? I couldn’t find the details in manual. Apparently there are differences in renaming logic between files and folders. Is this a program bug?

Thank you for your reply.
I just realised that to rename folders I need to ditch the files extensions .pdf
It was so obvious and somehow slipped from my attention.
