Description of App
Name Mangler is a blazingly-fast multi-file renaming tool that's incredibly easy to use.
- Create single or multi-step renaming actions, save them, and share them across Macs
- Rename in excess of 2,000 files per second
- Use files' metadata (e.g. ISO speed, dimensions, bit rate, etc.) in new names
- Before and after views of your filenames insure you rename them as you intend
- Save renaming tasks as droplets: just drag-and-drop files onto a droplet, and they'll be renamed
- Load any previously-used rename action from the History browser
Name Mangler 3 represents a quantum leap forward in file renaming: speed and beauty combined with ease of use, and loaded with features.
For those coming from Name Mangler 2, here's what's new in this version:
Tons of new features
- Multi-step renaming lets you perform complex renaming tasks without touching Advanced mode
- Metadata accessible for use in all renaming operations, via an intuitive metadata browser
- Save any renaming action as a Preset, and automatically sync those presets across Macs
- Export renaming actions for sharing via email, etc.
- History keeps track of all performed actions, making it simple to reuse these actions
- Revert last-used renaming operation
- Shift-drag to file list will add the dragged files to the existing list
- Delete presets (and snippets, see below) from within Name Mangler by using the Option key
- Optionally display only files that will be renamed, instead of all files in the list
- Automatically detect potential duplicates and flag (or optionally automatically fix)
- Finder is no longer required to be running to use Name Mangler
- Check for file writable status and warn user if files are not writable
User interface improvements
- Fully retinaized for the retina Mac laptops
- The pop-up button for the rename operations has been moved out of the toolbar
- The 'Rename' button is in a more logical and visible spot
- Choose a dark or light appearance for the file list area
- The rename action area can be expanded horizontally
- Status lights next to each filename deliver at-a-glance info on renaming state
- Interim results show filenames at each step of a multi-step renaming task
- Tooltips show original names, new names, and errors
- Query field in Find and Replace makes it more obvious when in regular expression mode
- Status light for regular expressions shows syntax checking state (green=good, red=bad)
- New large icon view
- Automatic view mode determines what details to show based on sort order
Mind-boggling speed improvements
- Load tens of thousands of files from Finder in only seconds
- 50 to 100+ times faster than Name Mangler 2
- Rename from 1,000 to in excess of 2,000 files per second
