None of this will, of course, match the capabilities of the two aforementioned utilities, which provide all of those features and much, much more. You can also opt to add text to all the file names, or format them all based on certain criteria: by name and index, name and counter, or name and date. On a whim, I selected a bunch of the images and right clicked: imagine my surprise when I saw an option to “Rename 7 files…” Selecting that yielded a dialog box with a variety of simple transforms, including replacing one string in all those filenames with another–exactly what I was looking for.
#Name mangler folders mac#
The other day I had to rename a bunch of screenshots in the past that would have sent me to a tool like Name Mangler or A Better Finder Rename, but I didn’t happen to have either of these tools installed on the Mac I was using at the time. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of Name. Name Mangler alternatives are mainly File Renamers but may also be Exif Renamers or MP3 / ID3 Renamers. Isn’t it funny how you can use an operating system, day in, day out, for a year or more and not notice certain features? Other interesting Windows alternatives to Name Mangler are Advanced Renamer, Simplest File Renamer, FileRenamer and Rename Master. Warning: This story has not been updated in several years and may contain out-of-date information. However, if the names are all as shown, it will work-as the attached screenshot shows.Tip: Simple batch file renames in the Finder If anything varies-the comma isn't there once, the period after the day isn't there, etc., this is likely to not do what you want.
Hopefully, you can see there are a lot of opportunities for this action to break-it's *very* reliant on folders being named exactly as you laid out in your examples. * The final two steps change the space before the place name into an underscore, and remove a comma that's been hanging around this whole time.
NOTE: This relies on the presence of the comma immediately after the place name if that's not there, this will likely break. * The next step moves the optional place to the right spot in the name. * The next step moves the day of the month to the right spot, and gets rid of the double hyphens. * The next step moves the two-digit year to the front of the string. NOTE: This relies on each and every day being immediately followed by a period if that's not the case, this will break. These steps take care of that, replacing single-digit days with their double-digit counterparts. You had said to just use the month number followed by 0, but this will break for any month that does have two digits. * The next nine steps change single-digit days of the month to double-digits.
#Name mangler folders full#
NOTE: If you do not have full month names for each and every month, this will break-it's matching the full literal name of each month. * The first 12 steps convert month names to month numbers, surrounded by double hyphens (so they're easy to pick out later, when we need them).
#Name mangler folders zip file#
I've attached the configuration here as a zip file download it, unzip, then double-click to open in Name Mangler. and it's a really ugly, long, somewhat complicated solution, but it seems to work. > If there a chance to do this with a script?
