There is a situation that you may want to rename several files to a list of text names. For example, you have a series of a TV show listed as
and want to rename these files to
- AS01E01_Debut show.avi
- AS01E02_She is here.avi
- AS01E03_He is there.avi
You can see that the names we want to change to are not in any pattern. This is a problem for most auto-rename softwares, which needs at least some patterns of texts to replace some parts of the old names.
Fortunately, this problem can be solved easily with this tiny, free software called Text to File Renamer (V 2.1). It is very easy to use. First, you drag your files to the left panel. Second, you paste the list of the names you want to rename to the right. Then the final step, you just click the last button. It’s that simple!
One quick note, you may find another free program to complement this action. It is called Filemenu Tools. One of its commands can be used to copy only the file names of the selected files. If you want to change the names of one set of files with another set of the files, you can use this tool to copy the file names of the latter set, then paste it into the right panel of Text to File Renamer. Very very handy tool.
Note: For this kind of work, you can try a program call Renamer. (Yes, It is free too.) It is very powerful, which can do many many things about changing names. It is no doubt a first-rated utility, but you may need time to learn how to use it.
