Changing the name of large file collections is both tedious and boring but, fortunately, there are applications that can carry out the task for you without too much of a hassle. Inviska Rename is one of them.
Side-by-side comparison of the initial names and the new ones
This particular application comes in handy if you need to assign meaningful names to documents, music, photos, and any other types of files, as well as folders on your computer. It enables you to build a custom name pattern you are comfortable with, thus organizing your data repository efficiently, regardless of its content.
The main window of Inviska Rename is split into two separate panels, one for viewing the original names, and the other for previewing the changes. In other words, you have a "before and after" comparison mode to check out the new names before changes are applied. For your convenience, the files whose names will be changed are highlighted in red.
Build your custom name pattern with various options
There are various ways you can modify the original names. Inviska Rename enables you to replace the entire name with a string, meaning you can create completely new denominations, totally unrelated to the initial ones. To make it easy for you to build the name pattern, Inviska Rename comes with a set of predefined tags for music, exif data, and various file attributes, which can be inserted into any editable field with a click.
Alternatively, you can replace certain words and insert new text in the name either at the beginning or at a specified position, add prefixes and suffixes, and crop sections of the name or a number of characters. Moreover, the application can change the case of words and add numbering to your files, which is particularly handy if you are renaming sequences of files.
Inviska Rename can also modify the file extension in batch mode, featuring exactly the same options as mentioned above.
Time-saving batch renamer for both files and folders
An application such as Inviska Rename can be a real asset to you if you plan on organizing large amounts of data. It can change the names of your files in batch mode, which means your job will be done in a few minutes, rather than hours.

Whats New
Added sorting by type and date - If you right click anywhere in the Current Name table, you will now be given the option to sort by Name, Type and Date Modified. Sort order is retained when you change directories, but defaults back to Name when the application is restarted. If you wish your sort order to be retained between sessions, check the "Save sort order between sessions" option under Preferences -> File List.
Added final result conflict detection - Before performing a rename, the software now checks if the operation will result in duplicate filenames. If conflicts are detected, the rename operation will not proceed and instead a list of conflicting filenames will be displayed.
Added intermediate conflict detection - Even if the final result does not produce conflicting filenames, there can be conflicts during the rename process, typically when renumbering files. Inviska Rename now simulates the rename process and checks for conflicts after each file rename. If no conflict is detected, the rename operation will continue normally, but if conflicts are detected the rename operation will be simulated again in reverse order. If the operation is valid in reverse order, it will perform the rename in reverse. This process is transparent to the user, and is practically instantaneous, even with 10K files, so it does not cause any degradation in performance.
Added intermediate renaming - If a rename operation is found to cause conflicts when performed both forwards and backwards, Inviska Rename now uses intermediate renaming to avoid conflicts. Files are first renamed to an intermediate name, before being renamed to their final name. This intermediate renaming does cause a performance hit, since it doubles the number of file renames. However, intermediate renaming is only activated when necessary, and this is only under extremely rare circumstances, so it's unlikely you'll ever notice.
Fixed bug that caused tags not to load - A bug was introduced in version 9.0 that caused meta data not to load if you typed the tag manually, or if the tag was in a disabled box that was subsequently enabled. This bug is now fixed, so tag data will now load correctly.
Filename now left unchanged when no meta present - If you perform a rename operation using music or Exif meta data, and there is no meta data present in a file, the filename will now be left unchanged. This avoids filenames being left blank when no meta is present.
Works slightly better with Nemo - Nemo has a feature to launch your batch rename program when you select multiple files and click rename. Since Inviska Rename works with directories, rather than lists of files, it doesn't work well with this feature. However, it now works a bit better, so if you select a list of files in Nemo and click rename, Inviska Rename will at least open in the directory of the files.
