BatchRenamer

Renames batch of items in Mac Finder (anything that can be renamed).
This script can be saved as an application, or be run as is.

How to use

1. Select items in the Finder.

2. Run the app.

Remember: Items appear in the renaming queue in the order they are selected in Finder.
For example, the items you want to rename appear in a window in this order:

  • image.jpg
  • essay.doc
  • folder1

But you want to rename them (with numbers at the beginning) in this order:

  • 01 folder1
  • 02 image.jpg
  • 03 essay.doc

So you must select the items in that order (folder1, image.jpg, essay.doc) before you run
the app.

Useful Tips

If items you want to rename are in different folders from one another:

  • Create a Finder tag to assign to those items.
  • Put that tag in window sidebar so all those items appear in the window.
  • Select items and run BatchRenamer.
