Rename multiple files at once...

U must have noticed while transferring images from a digital camera to a computer the names of the images are DC0233 or DS1232 etc... and this gets really annoying while renaming them one by one if the number of images is large (imagine renaming 100 + images! ). This is just 1 example where "multiple file renaming" is helpful but this can be useful elsewhere too where number of files is large but the files belong to a common category ( example: songs of a movie, or episodes of a tv series etc.)
HOW THIS WORKS???


  1. open the folder containing the files to be renamed.
  2. select all files ( or the number of files u want to rename in one go).
  3. Goto FILE ( or press alt+F ) and select Rename.
  4. now enter the name of the files/images/episodes etc. that u want.
  5. now u will see all selected files will have the same name with (1) (2) (3) along with them.
EXAMPLE:

if u rename all the images to - TRIP TO NEW DELHI... then all the images will be renamed to....
 TRIP TO NEW DELHI (1)
 TRIP TO NEW DELHI(2)
 TRIP TO NEW DELHI(3)
and so on....

this is really helpful to organize ur content :)
