We often download all kinds of files from Internet, such as audio, video, image, document and so on. Sometimes the name of these files we download is not the right one we want. Certainly we can rename these files but it is a very hard and trying job. Here I will recommend a rename utility to you. That is NameWiz. With NameWiz we can rename files in batch. If you have large numbers of files need to rename, NameWiz is the best choice of you absolutely.

NameWiz is a file renaming tool that will let us rename files, folders and sub-folders en masse in any which way we want. It is also an advanced file renaming utility. Some of the files are almost impossible to be rename, but NameWiz can be further expanded using plugins so we can rename anything we like, no restrictions. NameWiz already include many renaming functions, such as sequential using numbers, letters or both. NameWiz is particularly useful for managing graphic files or text files downloaded from the Internet or saved from our browser's cache. Photographers will find NameWiz a must. It can also be useful for programmers or for those who create sequential versions of files, etc. We can also run NameWiz in multi-language interface. The Windows system menu is available by right-clicking a file. The key features and functions of NameWiz include:

NameWiz is an advanced file renaming utility. Rename files, folders, sub-folders (even MP3 by tag) in any which way we want. Some of the renaming are almost impossible to be done, but NameWiz can be further expanded using plugins so we can rename anything we like, no restrictions. NameWiz is 100% network compatible.

With NameWiz, we can rename files en masse in either a single folder or all sub folders. Change the file extension, make all names lower/upper case, replace, remove, insert, delete, move or swap characters, add prefixes and suffixes, or replace the names altogether with sequential names of our choosing. NameWiz is particularly useful for managing graphic files downloaded from the Internet or saved from our browser's cache. Photographers will find NameWiz a must. It can also be useful for programmers or for those who create sequential versions of files, etc. Any files or folders can be renamed, no restrictions.

All what NameWiz can do does not only apply to files, in fact, we can rename folders in the same exact way we rename files. Beside renaming files, NameWiz can also create files and folders the same way it rename them. For example, create 5 years of monthly folders for our accounting software, say, 01-2003 to 12-2007. That's too many folders to create manually. Let NameWiz do it for us in 1 second.

Support for custom plugins is one of the main feature of NameWiz. Not only NameWiz can rename files in any ways we like, but it comes a time when we simply can not rename files the standard way. Plugins are easy to make and we need very little programming experience to make our own using one of our templates. We can also make plugins ourselves! NameWiz comes with an MP3 plugin which let us rename our MP3 files using the music headers, such as Author name, Album name, Song name etc. This plugin is a perfect example of why some files can not be renamed the standard way.

NameWiz supports almost any file formats, such as: TIFF images (*.tif; *.tiff), GFI fax images (*.fax), SGI images (*.bw; *.rgb; *.rgba; *.sgi), Autodesk images files (*.cel; *.pic), Truevision images (*.tga; *.vst; *.icb; *.vda; *.win), ZSoft Paintbrush images (*.pcx; *.pcc), Word 5.x screen capture files (*.scr), Kodak Photo-CD images (*.pcd), Portable pixel/gray map images (*.ppm; *.pgm; *.pbm), Dr. Halo images (*.cut; *.pal), CompuServe images (*.gif), SGI Wavefront images (*.rla; *.rpf), Standard Windows bitmap images (*.bmp; *.rle; *.dib), Photoshop images (*.psd; *.pdd), Paintshop Pro images (*.psp), Portable network graphic images (*.png).

NameWiz automatically checks for potential errors in real time, while previewing, alerting us if our naming sequence is correct or out of range. In case of mistakes or errors, NameWiz create an on screen editable log of everything we rename. We can undo from the log the last rename sequence, or all of the sequence registered since the log was last cleared.

Source Explorer let us browse to the folder where renaming will occure. It works exactly like the Windows Explorer. We can select drives, CD-RW, network resource, flash memory cards, USB drives or any loaded peripherals. This Explorer is detachable from the window and can be made floating to ease navigation while renaming. Name Generator let us rename files sequentially. There are 3 ways we can do this. Numerically (0 to 9), Alphabetically (a to z) and Alphanumerically (0 to F) as set in the Settings and they can be edited to fit our needs. A Mask can be entered to pad the generated sequence to a fix length.

Replace/Remove function of NameWiz will let us replace parts of file names with a new one or using sequential names from the generator. Remove let us remove common parts of file names. Insert/Delete let us insert new or sequential text anywhere in a file name while Delete let us delete parts of file name based on position and can delete backwards. Move/Swap let us move around parts of file name, either by text or position. Swap will let us swap 2 areas of a file name, using text or positions. Options/Settings is where we set other things such as Prefix, Suffix, Capitalization and Alpha rules.

NameWiz can be customized in any which way we like by using Plugins. For example, the MP3 plugin and text viewer plugin included with NameWiz. If we are a novice or an experienced programmer, we can make a plugin in less than 15 minutes. NameWiz provides a plugin template for C++, Delphi and PowerBasic. All we have to do is fill in the blanks, write our renaming code and we're done. If we are not a programmer or simply do not have the time to make our own plugin. Keep in mind that plugins can do anything, we need not restrict your plugin to renaming files only.

We can also run NameWiz in multi-language interface, all menus, dialog texts and messages. Create our own language by editing the language file directly using the NameWiz language editor.

In addition, NameWiz provides a free trial for us but many functions are disabled. It is a standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement.
