Bulk Rename Utility is een programma waarmee de naam of locatie van meerdere bestanden en/of mappen tegelijk kan worden gewijzigd. Zo kunnen er bijvoorbeeld tekens worden toegevoegd, vervangen of verwijderd worden, of kan de naam aan de hand van metadata of d3-tags worden aangepast. Het programma is gratis voor persoonlijk gebruik; voor gebruik in commerciële omgevingen wordt wel een vergoeding gevraagd. Versie 4.0.0.6 van Bulk Rename Utility uitgekomen en sinds versie 4.0.0.4 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Bulk Rename Utility 4.0.0.6Bulk Rename Utility 4.0.0.5
- New option “Keep Folder Structure” in Copy/Move to Location (13). This option lets you perform copying or moving while preserving the original folder hierarchy of your files.
- New command “Import Rename-Pairs from Clipboard” (
Ctrl
+Alt
+C
) to import new name-old name rename pairs directly from the Windows clipboard.- New command “Set New Names from Clipboard” to set the new names of the selected items directly from the Windows clipboard.
- New shortcut
Ctrl
+Alt
+R
to clear all imported rename-pairs items.- New option “Use Monospaced Font for List and Tree”. Enable this option if you need to ensure that each character occupies the same amount of horizontal space in the file list and tree. This uniformity makes it easier to align text vertically.
- New JavaScript functions: countFilesInFolder(), listFilesInFolder(), removeExt().
- New functionality in Remove (5) -> Chars. A removal condition can now be used, for example:
- >c : Remove characters greater than c.
- <Z : Remove characters less than Z.
- >c<Z : Remove characters greater than c and less than Z.
You can use >ÿ to remove all characters greater than ÿ -- that is, all characters past the Latin-1 Supplement (such as emojis).- Added support for quoted file names in CSV files when importing rename pairs from CSV.
- Fixed an issue where pressing the Esc key outside of the Bulk Rename Utility, during a long renaming operation, would inadvertently stop the renaming.
- Fixed the Remove (5) -> Accents issue with Unicode-16 surrogate characters.
- Added two new toolbar buttons for quick access: "Refresh" and "Show Only Items Affected by Renaming Criteria", positioned next to the path bar.
- Added Tag Name display in the 'Show List of File Properties' and 'Show EXIF Info' windows.
- Added new program preference: "At startup, recall the last used criteria if no favorite file (.bru) is active, instead of starting with blank criteria". This can be set to Yes (default) or No.
- Added new program preference: "Automatically save the used renaming criteria to the recent entries when renaming is performed". This can be set to Yes (default) or No.
- File Property Tags, Hash Tags, and EXIF Property Tags can now also be used in RegEx (1) → Replace and Replace (3) → With.
- Moved the Remove (5) → Trim option to be the last removal step under Remove (5).
- Enhanced the 'Show Only Items Affected by Renaming Criteria' command: if only one item or no items are selected, all items are selected first, then, it displays only items affected by the current renaming criteria.
- Improved “Highlight Name Changes” functionality in certain situations.
- Added option “Simplify Differences” under “Highlight Name Changes”. When this option is enabled, Bulk Rename Utility will try simplify and group multiple differences between the current and the new name for better readability. This option is disabled by default.
- Added keyboard shortcuts:
Alt
+Enter
: Show Windows Properties.Alt
+P
: Show List of File Properties.Alt
+X
: Show EXIF Information.Alt
+Q
: Open Containing Folder.- During an
F2
manual rename,Tab
andShift
+Tab
now function as they do in Windows File Explorer for consistency:
- Tab completes the manual rename and initiates a manual rename operation on the next item in the list.
Shift
+Tab
completes the manual rename and initiates a manual rename operation on the previous item in the list.- Expanded the Remove Symbols option (Remove (5) → Sym.) to include these symbol categories: General Punctuation, Arrows, Miscellaneous Symbols, Dingbats, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, Emoticons, Transport and Map Symbols, Alchemical Symbols, Geometric Shapes Extended, Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs, and Latin-1 Supplement.
- Resolved an issue where using RegEx (1) and File Segment together could result in an incorrect new name computation.
- Fixed a bug where parentheses ( and ) were ignored in RegEx (1) → Replace unless escaped with \.
