RenameMaestro is the easy way to rename files and folders (directories). It has been designed from the beginning to be intuitive
and quick whilst maintaining extensive functionality, an essential requirement of any utility software.
RenameMaestro works by allowing you to create either single or multiple actions; an action might be inserting a date, removing
some text, or inserting an incrementing number. In single action mode (the default), you can simply chose and customise
the action you want, preview the results immediately and rename your files. In multiple action mode you can, by choosing
and customising one action after another, easily build up your renaming requirements.
So you receive a preview as you go along, can use just one or many actions, and can reuse each action as many times as you
like.
If you want to get an understanding of the whole application quickly, have a look through the tutorials
section. It'll get you up to speed swiftly and easily!
The Overall Look and Feel
The window is split into three parts. The 'Original Files' list on the left shows you your existing files and folders, the
'Renaming Preview' list on the right shows you a preview of how your files will be altered, and the centre part contains
all the functionality to allow you to alter your files and folders.
If an original file can't be found (or has been moved whilst RenameMaestro is open), the file will be coloured in orange.
This central part is referred to as the 'home'. Depending on your choice of single or multiple action mode, it will either
be the single action home or the multiple action home.
There are some context menu items which work in either lists. Just right click your mouse and you will see options (if they
are relevant) to let you:
- Remove Selected
- Show in Folder
- Select All
- Remove All
As the names imply, these will not delete your files from your computer, they will just remove them from
RenameMaestro. The 'Show in Folder' option allows you to quickly see the first selected file in its folder in Windows Explorer.
Please note, the list on the right shows a preview of the changes; the renaming will only occur when you
press the Rename! button. Don't be put off by the fact that the preview will alter as soon as you select a new action -
this is just to provide you with instantaneous feedback as you select different options within each action.
If the renaming action(s) has caused a preview file name to be different to the original, it will be coloured in green.
If there is a problem with renaming (almost always because 2 or more files in the same folder have been given a duplicate
file name) then the text of that file in the preview list will be red in colour.
The home area of the application changes depending on what you are doing at that moment, to offer you a simple and quick
way of renaming files without cluttering up the window with redundant buttons and boxes. Initially it shows you the single
action home.

I downloaded about 6 of these programs and yours won...
... I like the number of things yours will do, the simple interface, and the EASE of learning to use it.
I have a large rename requirement and had wasted a lot of money trying other rename software, all of which had serious shortcomings...
RenameMaestro is a brilliant piece of software and remarkable value for money.
