QuickName
QuickName is a program that is meant to be used to change the naming conventions of files. It is able to rename several thousand files in a few seconds.
The main purpose of the program is to take a common letter or punctuation out of filename and change it something else more desirable. Files can also be named using Indexing.
For Example: You could change the file:
My.favorite.type.of.file.txt
to
My-favorite-type-of-file.txt
Or by using changing the caps and extension you could change the file to:
My Favorite Type Of File.mpg
With Indexing you could rename all your files in a format such as this:
My Pictures_1.jpg
My Pictures_2.jpg
My Pictures_3.jpg
My Pictures_4.jpg
This application is still in early development and many more features will be added in the future.
