How to Batch Rename files ?
I have a lot of files I want to give names to. I already found a way to get names into a text I need. So all these names i have in text, I want to give to other files.
How do i do this in a batch process ?
Currently trying to learn FastStone Image viewer. Seems to be updated version of Resizer by the same company?
That has been useful for other batch processes for images . But I've yet to figure the batch naming options .
A different software I'm considering for this task is called Advanced Renamer .
Maybe I've become too slow through the years because :
I've been looking for the right tutorial that I can clearly understand and found none .
They seem to be out of my grasp .
Note : I currently use a bat file, that takes the names of other files I have in a folder and puts them into a text file.
( I'd prefer a one click Bat process ideally for this specific task ) .
So I'd be happy with a bat file that can also take those names in my text list
and apply them to files I want to rename in any given folder with those . If anyone knew how to do that.
It don't matter the order applied - as long as each file in the folder receives one name from the list.
The names I pulled are from images in a folder. The names are to be applied to a equal number of files ,
which is a different extension. so no worry about them having the same name. So just the names .
