Hi
I just found Advanced Renamer - via a friend, seems like a very VERY nice tool! After having used some time on it, testing...then I do now know how to do this: I by accident renamed an entire folder with 5000+ images to the same date and time plus a counter in the end, NOT a succes!! :) Now I would like to rename them back based on "CreateDate", does anyone know how this could be done? |

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how to move the first word of a file if it's "A" or "The", etc. to the the end of the title but before the year, and add a comma and a space. Change these: The Untouchables (1987) The Hateful Eight (2015) A Quiet Place (2018) To this: Untouchables, The (1987) Hateful Eight, The (2015) Quiet Place, A (2018) Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Hello, im trying to do the following but i cant seem to grasp the whole wildcard and regular expressions thing
I have snapshots of several videos who have their codec or other value inside brackets, this will always be a combination of digits and letters in random quantifies and located at random locations, examples [27E58B25] randomtext.jpg randomtext1 [758B25] randomtext2.jpg randomtext1 [B25].jpg what im attempting to do is make a search replace that will delete any text inside said brackets, including the brackets. Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks. |

I need to replace a character that may be in certain files in a folder and subfolders below the top level folder which may also contain subfolders.
How do I perform this with Advanced Renamer. |

I can sort in my window on date/time and get what I want for renaming. The date modified is what I just pulled from the cloud so this doesn't work, the date taken is not populated correctly, BUT I can sort by date/time as that was preserved in the cloud. As I am sorting through multiple cameras this has been working great until I drag the selected photos into AR and it sorts based on the NAME.
I tried finding date/time, but there is NO OPTION for this and none of the options provided let me sort by simple date/time. It used to be on a previous version that I could just drag in the sorted files and they stayed as I had them sorted and AR worked great, now I have to prename them before I can use AR? Is there a solution to stop the automatic sorting in AR by filename? |

I use IncHex (but I suspect this goes for other increment options as well) to give unique names to photos. The basic part is date and time, but since I often shoot several photos per second only time wasnt enough. So I add IncHex.
My problem is that I want all my filenames to have the same length. However, if I have less than 16, IncHex will insert 1 character and if I have over 256 it will insert 3. I want it to be always 2, and have the sequence start over again when it reaches FF. So apart from x (starting number) and y (step) I would also like to see a z (length). |

This is a tricky one.
I need to remove repeating patterns Say i have a number of files with common repeating text patterns in the filename. For instance: filename_abc_123 filename_def_123 filename_ghi_456 The output should be filename_abc filename_def filename_ghi_456 AR scans for repeating patterns and removes common patterns How would i achieve this? |

Hi all,
hope youre doing fine. I want to rename videos with each Creation Date. If the MOV files are being done by an Apple device, it's no problem, i just use <ExifTool:CreationDate>. But now I am dealing with Panasonic mov files, where the Creation Date is within the field "com.panasonic.Semi-Pro.metadata.xml". How can I grab the Panasonic Creation Date out of this field? I am grateful for any help. Thanks in advance! Here's a short MediaInfo from my Panasonic video: General Complete name : C:\LUMIX\P1006147.MOV Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : QuickTime Codec ID : qt 2011.07 (qt /pana) File size : 555 MiB Duration : 30 s 240 ms Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 154 Mb/s Frame rate : 25.000 FPS Encoded date : 2023-08-27 12:14:46 UTC Tagged date : 2023-08-27 12:14:46 UTC com.panasonic.Semi-Pro.metadata.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> / <ClipMain xmlns:xsi="w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:schemas-Professional-Plug-in:Semi-Pro:ClipMetadata:v1.0"> / <ClipContent> / <GlobalClipID>060A2B340101010501010D2113000000DF69FD29BA8BC0047A6A106109D00125</GlobalClipID> / <Duration>756</Duration> / <EditUnit>1/25</EditUnit> / <EssenceList> / <Video> / <Codec BitRate="150">H264_422_LongGOP</Codec> / <ActiveLine>2160</ActiveLine> / <ActivePixel>3840</ActivePixel> / <BitDepth>10</BitDepth> / <FrameRate>25p</FrameRate> / <TimecodeType>NonDrop</TimecodeType> / <StartTimecode>16:35:51:11</StartTimecode> / </Video> / <Audio> / <Channel>2</Channel> / <SamplingRate>48000</SamplingRate> / <BitsPerSample>16</BitsPerSample> / </Audio> / </EssenceList> / <ClipMetadata> / <Rating>0</Rating> / <Access> / <CreationDate>2023-08-27T12:14:46+01:00</CreationDate> / <LastUpdateDate>2023-08-27T12:14:46+01:00</LastUpdateDate> / </Access> / <Device> / <Manufacturer>Panasonic</Manufacturer> / <ModelName>DC-GH5M2</ModelName> / </Device> / <Shoot> / <StartDate>2023-08-27T12:14:46+01:00</StartDate> / </Shoot> / </ClipMetadata> / </ClipContent> / <UserArea> / <AcquisitionMetadata xmlns="urn:schemas-Professional-Plug-in:P2:CameraMetadata:v1.2"> / <CameraUnitMetadata> / <ISOSensitivity>400</ISOSensitivity> / <Gamma> / <CaptureGamma>V-LogL</CaptureGamma> / </Gamma> / <Gamut> / <CaptureGamut>V-Gamut</CaptureGamut> / </Gamut> / </CameraUnitMetadata> / </AcquisitionMetadata> / </UserArea> / </ClipMain> |

I have a TON of folders from Freepik, where the files inside don't match the folder names. (they are mockups, and come with a jpg and psd file in each folder, each with a different number string.) I would like to change the inside file names to the name of the folder they are in. I found this: https://superuser.com/questions/516082/add-folde r-name-to-beginning-of-filename But I really don't want to download another program, and anyway if possible I would like to change the whole filename, not just add the folder name to the start.
For example, I have a folder: Living-Room-Mockup, and inside are 1234567.jpg, and 5483760.psd. so ideally, I'd like to change them both to Living-Room-Mockup.jpg and Living-Room-Mockup.psd. If that isn't possible, I could live with just appending the folder name to the start of the files inside. It'll make things a little more awkward, though, when I combine all the files into one big folder, removing all the little folders. The PSD's might not always match up with the jpeg preview files. |

Hello!
I have a task to copy a large number of files and upload them to a website. However, there is a challenge. I need to upload files in batches of 600, 1000, or N at a time. Therefore, if I have a list of files, I need to be able to copy them into folders like "G:\Images for Uploading\[sequence number of the folder]" and adjust the N as needed. Can you help me out with this thing please? |

I would like to match the file names of some tv shows (.mp4) to subtitle files I also have(.srt). The beginning of the files match, but the video has additional text I want copied to the subtitle files.
Example S01E01 Population Zero 4x3 DVD H264 2Channel.mp4 s01e01.srt S01E02 Survival of the Fittest 4x3 DVD H264 2Channel.mp4 s01e02.srt S01E03 Operation Firefly 4x3 DVD H264 2Channel.mp4 s01e03.srt S01E04 Day of the Robot 4x3 DVD H264 2Channel.mp4 s01e04.srt so they become... S01E01 Population Zero 4x3 DVD H264 2Channel.mp4 S01E01 Population Zero 4x3 DVD H264 2Channel.srt and so on I would like the .srt files to have the same name as the .mp4 files. Is there a way to do this, maybe with some kind of 'IF the first 6 characters match, THEN rename .srt file with the matching .mp4 file"? I have several TV shows seasons to work through. Thanks in advance (edited for typos) |

Hi everyone
I'm new to using Advanced Renamer and I want to rename a bunch of tv shows that I own,to be clear this is content that I purchased from amazon and iTunes and I want to rename the files. Here's my problem I use an Android Box as my media player for my tv shows when I go to my cottage and take any tv shows that I own with me and play them on my Android Box with a 1TB hard drive. The problem is when you name them normally like this The Blacklist S1E1 and S1E2 and so on. When you name like that up above and use VLC media player which is the best for Android Box's when trying to use them as a media player it displays and plays them in this order. The Blacklist S1E1 then goes to S1E10 then S1E11. I was told if I rename them The Blacklist S1E01 and S1E02 this will fix the problem. Can anyone tell me is it possible to make a custom preset in Advanced Renamer so for anyone show I want to rename from this method of S1E1 to S1E01. If that is possible can someone please tell me how to do it. Also if I purchase a key for this program is it a lifetime key. |

Hello,
I was looking for a SW which can handle GPS informnation to define the location where the picture was made. As described your database contains city names >1000. As I travel in areas with a lot of smaller towns or points of interests like alpine passes my question is if you plan to extend your tool to get these informations as well. Thx in advance, Reinhard |

I have a preset with over 50 methods, and loading the preset (or opening the app with that preset previously loaded) takes upwards of 30-45 seconds, even with no files selected yet. Each method takes somewhere around 500-700ms to load, one after the other. This seems like a bug - why would loading these (relatively simple) methods take so long, even before there are any files to process?

Hi everyone
@Miguel: Thanks for your tip here: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=13959, that works. Now I am trying to remove the names in front of the email address: This is my starting point (examples): 2023-11-01 (ABC-943064) Kontrolle - Blaurot GmbH ([email protected]).eml 2023-11-29 Re (ABC-943064) Kontrolle - Fritz Zuloff ([email protected]).eml 2023-11-30 Re [ABC-943064] Kontrolle - Blaurot GmbH ([email protected]).eml This is what I want: 2023-11-01 (ABC-943064) Kontrolle - ([email protected]).eml 2023-11-29 Re (ABC-943064) Kontrolle - ([email protected])..eml 2023-11-30 Re [ABC-943064] Kontrolle - ([email protected]).eml I can't make Miguel's pattern work here... It seems that the @ is not recognized, as well as I don't know how to make the parentheses recognized - as they are used for grouping. Is there any escape character I can use? Any other ideas? Thanks! |

Hi,
I've just had to re-install windows. In my previous install, I could apply my (Renaming Methods List) to a set of files, and it would highlight the files that matched that criteria. I was sure I could then select Batch->Move ..and it would only rename & move the files matching the (Renaming Methods List) . Now, it seems to want to move everything, and even attempt to rename files which do not properly match my regex string. I want to move only the highlighted files (that match my Renaming method) and leave all the others where they are in the list, so i can use a different Renaming method. Is there a setting i'm missing? Thanks. EDIT: I've just seen something in the latest version which does what i want (more or less!) Remove items from the list based on special conditions Is there a way to make this a tickbox option, ie always on, or always off? Thanks. |

Ok, so I built this regex:-
([a-zA-Z0-9]+)[.](\w+)[.](\d{2})[.](\d{2})[.](\d{2})[.](\w+)[.](\w+)|([.])(?=((and)[.](\w+)[.](\w+)))(.*) Which captures into groups everything up to but not including "and" then, If "and" does exist, it captures "and" plus the next 2 words. (fig1) If "and" does not exist, then it does not capture anything else. (fig2) fig1 So that from the filenames:- Homestead.24.04.22.this.that.and.the.other.1080p it captures:- Homestead.24.04.22.this.that.and.the.other and from:- fig2 Homestead.24.04.22.this.that.1080p it captures:- Homestead.24.04.22.this.that It works perfectly in Regex 101, but not in AR. Any idea why? |

Hello!
My method I created is working almost just like I want to, but it is adding unwanted spaced where there occurs upper case words. For example like here: "Detection of Location And Size of Water Tree In XL PE Cables By Frequency Response Analysis a Simulation Study" Everything looks perfect, except there is an unwanted space added in the word "XLPE". How do I fix this? Thanks |

I did a search on the forum and found similar but not exactly my scenario. I would like to rename my image files and, at the same time move them into directories to organize them. Let me explain:
- the original filename is DSCN0001.NRW, created on 20240101 at 09:00:00 - I use the exif data to rename the file to 20240101_090000.NRW - I want a folder to be created with the name 202401 and the new file to be moved there I tried adding a "\" to the renaming function thinking that would create the folder, but AR balked (invalid character in name). Is there a way to do this? |

Hi! I just found this software, and probably would help me with my big dataset of my master thesis :)
I have 100 folders with 39 pictures each. I would like to rename all the picuters with the same pattern and sequence, where the first digit would be the number of the folder. I make the example with folder nr. 1: *no change* 1__Himmel_A 1_Boden_A_N 1_Boden_A_O 1_Boden_A_S 1_Boden_A_W *no change* 1__Himmel_B 1_20cm_B 1_130cm_B 1_Boden_B_N 1_Boden_B_O 1_Boden_B_S 1_Boden_B_W *no change* 1__Himmel_C 1_20cm_C 1_130cm_C 1_Boden_C_N 1_Boden_C_O 1_Boden_C_S 1_Boden_C_W *no change* 1__Himmel_D 1_20cm_D 1_130cm_D 1_Boden_D_N 1_Boden_D_O 1_Boden_D_S 1_Boden_D_W *no change* 1__Himmel_E 1_20cm_E 1_130cm_E 1_Boden_E_N 1_Boden_E_O 1_Boden_E_S 1_Boden_E_W *no change* Will it be possible with Advanced Renamer? I don't need that it rename all folders at once, I can run the prompt for each folder manually and adapt the folder number in the script. I'm not really in to programming, if it's not a big deal, would someone be so kind as to prepare a script for me? Thanks a lot and greetings from Switzerland! Gio |

Advanced Renamer's (3.95) analysis for image and video files occurs before the files are displayed in the file browser. The duration of this analysis (of file metadata) tends to be lengthy, taking a minute or more for 500 files on a fast SSD. To avoid this delay, I attempted to disable analysis based on forum posts here, none has been successful. I would be grateful for whatever guidance the community could offer. Here are my settings that I believe are relevant to disabling analysis: Columns [for Advanced Renamer's file browser] Filename - Extension - New filename - Path - Error Settings - Program tab [UN-checked] Show file info panel [UN-checked] Show image preview in file info panel Settings - Image files tab [checked] Don't analyze image metadata Settings - Music & Video files tab [checked] Don't analyze music metadata [checked] Don't analyze video metadata ExifTool 12.87 installed |

Hello everyone. Some songs in my archive have characters in their names that I don't want.
For example; 01 - Barry White - Lets Get It On.mp3 02Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are.mp3 3A - 122 - Katy Perry - Birthday 2014 (Audio) by www.RadioFLy.ws.mp3 That's what I want to do; Barry White - Lets Get It On.mp3 Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are.mp3 Katy Perry - Birthday 2014 (Audio).mp3 As you can see, I want to delete characters like (01, -, 3A - 122 -) and so on. What kind of editing or formula should I do in Advanced Renamer for this? I tried some formulas, but this time it also deletes the first letter from the name of the song. Please help me. Have a nice day. |

Say I have 13 folders and I rename them Pet 1-13. Then I rename 235 files to Owner 1-235. How do I make sure I don't get numbers like 04 for the former and 006 and 082 for the latter?
Also, how do I get rid of extra zeroes from files and folder already renamed the normal way (e.g. it usually numbers like 07 and 04 when the total amount of stuff to rename is in the double digits)? |

Hello again friends. I need your help. With the Advanced Renamer program, I want to remove the parenthesis sign at the beginning of the song names and the text written inside. Which code do I need to use for this? Thank you in advance for your help.
Sample text; (Tech House) GIANT - Hot Stuff (Radio Edit) (UK Hip Hop) J Hus - Its Crazy (Clean) I just want to clean the brackets at the beginning of the songs and the text inside. |

It took me a while, but I finally finished version 4.0. It is now out as a beta from the download page. If you decide to try it out and find bugs, please write me an email from the Support page.
There are some UI changes, but most changes are below the user interface. Version 4 is for the most part compatible with version 3 (not the other way around), but some changes are considered breaking changes. The first version of Advanced Renamer was released two decades ago. With this release I expect the software to live on with regular updates for the next couple of decades too. I will keep adding features and sort out quirks and bugs until late fall where I plan the final version to be released as the successor to version 3.95. |

Hello everybody,
Just wanted to report that I've been using the new 4.0B version for maybe a couple of hours and it's pretty freakin' freakin'. That's good, by the way. Loading presaves from the taskbar is snappier, loading and analyzing files seems a lot faster, loading big lists of folders is at least as fast as 3.95, and–as of now–Ive found no bugs at all. I haven't tried it yet, but the list of metadata columns is awesome–though overkill for my meager work. The only semi-anomaly I've encountered is that, if for instance in a Replace method you have replace text that includes undefined capture groups in a regex, it might/will replace those with "$$". In 3.95 it ignored them. I find it useful for cleaning up methods when my regex scripting is lazy/stupid. That's it for now; anyone else got comments? Best to all, DF EDIT: I loaded 618 files from an SSD to do a timing test. Tried to click my phone stopwatch and the "load files" button at the same time. Before I could look up to the screen the files were loaded and analyzed. Executing batch with 35 mostly regex methods was almost that fast. END EDIT |

Hello everybody,
I'd like to propose a suggestion in terms of reporting possible problems, like bugs or glitches or things that don't work the same as they did in 3.x. I think that if you find something you think is a bug in 4.0b you first report it to Kim through email support. Give it some time before contemplating posting it on the forum; trust Kim to heed your input, he's been great about responding to problems in the past. Then, if after a period of time you do decide to post the problem here, use a different thread for each bug that you think you've found. Make it clear in the title what you will be discussing in the thread, and include all the possible information in your description of the problem. Otherwise I think the forum is going to be even more unwieldy and unmanageable to navigate. Thanks for reading, DF |

Hi. Love this tool!
Does anyone know how I would remove a varied amount of characters which may include letters, numbers, dashes and or dots but then leave the final two characters at the end of the file name? Example Starting Filename: GHC-STH-AR-03-00-W-111-GL GENERAL ARRANGEMENT PLAN - ED_F.pdf Desired Filename: GHC-STH-AR-03-00-W-111_F The problem I have is that the characters in the middle may vary in length and content but the first 22 characters and the last 2 characters always need to be retained. Any ideas? Thanks |

Yo G,
Ok, this should do pretty much what you need. Some of the date functions in AR 4.0b seem to be a little weird so I wrote them out; also my leap year logic wasn't bulletproof before. I'm pretty sure this will fix those problems. You just need to edit the "index = fname.search(…) ;" line (line 5 on my computer) and change to use your search terms/phrases. Pre-batch stays the same: const deltaDay = 1; REWORKED MAIN SCRIPT: var fname, index, nameHead, day, month, year, D, M, Y ; fname = item.newBasename ; // Search expressions go in following line between inner parenthesis, separate by pipe "|": index = fname.search(/(welt am sonntag|late ed|saturday|samstag)/i ) ; if ( index > -1 ) { match = fname.match(/^(.*)(\d{2})\.(\d{2})\.(\d{4})$/) ; if (match) { nameHead = match[1]; D = (1*match[2]) + deltaDay ; M = 1*match[3] ; Y = 1*match[4] ; // Determine if the month or year needs to be incremented: if (( M == 1 || M == 3 || M == 5 || M == 7 || M == 8 || M == 10 || M == 12 ) && D == 32 ) { // month has 31 days and we're over the limit; increment month, day to 1: ++M ; D = 1 ; if ( M == 13 ) { // Happy New Year!!! M = 1 ; ++Y ; } } // check for February month-end and leap year: if ( M == 2 && D == 29 ) { ++M ; D = 1 ; if (((Y % 4 == 0) && (Y % 100 != 0)) || (Y % 400 == 0)) { M = 2 ; D = 29 ; } } if ( ( M == 4 || M == 6 || M == 9 || M == 11 ) && D == 31 ) { // Month has 30 days, and time to inc. month: ++M ; D = 1 ; } // Time to "stringify" the date and poke it into the return filename: year = Y.toString() ; month = ("0" + M.toString()).slice( -2 ) ; day = ("0" + D.toString()).slice( -2 ) ; fname = nameHead + day + "." + month + "." + year ; } } return fname ; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Give it a try, and let me know how it is on your filenames. Best regards, DF |

Hi!
I am testing the software and have encountered a problem I did not expect in a seemingly simple renumbering operation. I have files with an existing numbering: ... file-008 file-009 file-010 ... I would like to increment all the numbers by a fixed value (e.g. by 1): ... file-008 --> file-009 file-009 --> file-010 file-010 --> file-011 ... I saw that the operation is not possible in one step because, acting on the files in alphabetical order (I think), a “file with the same name” error is given. If, instead of renaming the files in alphabetical order, it were possible to proceed in reverse order, the error would not occur and the operation would be possible in one step. Is it not possible for the program to handle cases like this? Incidentally, in renumbering operations this happens frequently, even though the end result would not give rise to conflicts of files with the same name. Can the program somehow handle these situations of conflicts of files with the same name, just checking that the end result has no conflicts and handling errors “under the hood”? Thank you for your attention. |

I have a small script to rename files which fullfill some condition. How can I add a line to automatically remove the files which do not fullfill the condition - i.e. are not to be renamed, from the file list?
I would like to rename photos which have an EXIF date tag to something including the date and time (that part I got). When I run a huge bunch of images in the script, sometimes a lot do not have the exif tag and will not be renamed. What I want is to remove them from the list, so I only see the ones to be renamed, so i can check them before applying the change. This is my script which I have stolen from another user here at this forum: if (app.parseTags("<Img Year>")){ fName = app.parseTags("EXIF--<Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day>_<Img Hour>-\ <Img Min>-<Img Sec>"); } else { fName = item.name; } return fName; |

In version 3.95 the replace method had a section for replacing the nth occurrence of a string/character to be replaced. For example you could do
Replace: a Replace with: b Occurrence: 1st And it would only replace the first 'a' it comes across. Was this accidentally removed in 4.0 or is it being removed from the replace method? |

hi
I've been using AR for a very long time and it always did the trick. Thank you for this wonderful freeware that litteraly helped me spare hours of renaming. I would like to use the "Replace method" to fix some charatcers in both the filename and a TAG (Audio Title). I's ok for the filename. Problem is, I don't know how to apply the replacement in the TAG in the same time. https://i.imgur.com/xnnxzn3.jpeg If this is not possible considering AR is not a TAG manager, here is my problem : I need fix some errors in my music files collection (over 230.000 files) such as "double space" to "one space". Problem is that I did not find a way to sort the highlighted files (the ones matching my criteria) so that these files are all sorted on top of the list. This will be very helpful considering the renamed files need to be tagged again in a second phase and I must be able to identify them in a list of over 200 000 files, it's very hard to scroll down and identify the highlighted files. Any suggestion (workaround) is welcome ! Thank you PS. an option would be to auto select the highlighted files so that the other files can be manually removed from the process. I did not find any auto-select option. |

Dear community,
Is it possible to copy one file to multiple files (new name) in bath mode? For example below: Source\File A -> Destination\File A_1 Source\File A -> Destination\File A_2 Source\File A -> Destination\File A_3 I've tried to use Copy with "Import File from CSV" feature however it only copy one to one, not one to multiple. Please advise, many thanks. |

I would like to rename it to TAZ 06.08.2024 Di wherby Di =dayoFWeek DF friendly showed and explained me in another thread how to script, This script I changed for my new purpose. Here it is var fname, index, nameHead, day, month, year, D, M, Y, dayOfWeek; fname = item.newBasename ; index = fname.search(/(TAZ|late ed|saturday|samstag)/i ) ; if ( index > -1 ) { match = fname.match(/^(.*)(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/) ; if (match) { nameHead = match[1]; D = (1*match[4]) ; M = 1*match[3] ; Y = 1*match[2] ; const dayOfWeek = new Date(M, D, Y).getDay(); year = Y.toString() ; month = ("0" + M.toString()).slice( -2 ) ; day = ("0" + D.toString()).slice( -2 ) ; fname = nameHead + " "+ day + "." + month + "." + year + " " + dayOfWeek ; } } return fname ; This gives me the result taz 06.08.2024 3 I need a hint to capialize taz in TAZ and dayOfWeek 3 in Di (short form of german Dienstag) |

keep the first occurrence of each duplicated word while removing the subsequent duplicates.
Input: Awad C - Gallery name Awad C Awad C C 2024-7-8 Result: Awad C - Gallery name 2024-7-8 I tried these two: \b(\b\w+\b)(?=.*\b\1\b) \b(\w+)\b(?=.*\b\1\b) but the results are the opposite, removed the first occurrence, and kept the rest. I did a quick search in the forum but no luck: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=14407 https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=3052 |

First of all, hello to everyone. As the title suggests, I would like to learn the method and pattern model of the manual changes I made to the file names. For example;
100 - 8A - Umut Timur - Oyna.mp3 Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On - 106.mp3 with the two files labelled as, Umut Timur - Oyna.mp3 Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On.mp3 Is it possible to learn the changes made here as a method and / or pattern? In other words, I am looking for the method of manual changes I make on each file and ways to use this method in bulk. Thank you very much in advance for your help. I wish everyone a good day. |

I have been using Advanced Renamer for some time now and am very happy with it. The only problem I keep having is with image files that have a different format. (png, jpg, etc)
Is there a solution for this where I can tell AR to ignore it? The following example / situation I have: I am using the <Inc No:xx> command to generate a ascending numbering of Pictures. Now I have images with random letters and number combination (e.g.: 7sjss0ffuogd1) mostly these are all png but sometimes other format such as (jpeg) I want to rename all the files to following: Picture 001, Picture 002, .... if all images have the same format, everything is fine so far. But if, for example, at no. 008 one is a png and the next is a jpeg, it gives me 2x Picture 008.jpg & Picture 008.png. But I don't want that, I want Picture 008.jpg & Picture 009.png and then continue with other files. Is there a solution for this? Would be very grateful for any help. |

Hi,
I use a naming regime for my photos: YYYY\YYYY MM text\YYYY MM text #### as in 2024\2024 07 Holiday\2024 07 Holiday 0001 I would like to enter the "text" (Holiday) only once and move files from SD card to a folder and rename them in one go. Can I name folders from a script value to do this? (I am migrating from Cam2PC which could handle this, but was not updated since 2015 - in Cam2PC I could also transfer files from multiple months, based on the monyh of the first file in the list, and I could have a counter in the folder, so a second import to a folder would add from where the first started - it does not seem to match Advanced Renamer use cases, but if it is possible I'd like to hear).

Hi
I need to rename a huge batch of files, it is a folder that contains photos and videos. Rather than running separate batches, I was wondering if it was possible to run a batch that would apply different methods based on the filename. For example for .jpg and .jpeg it would apply <Img DateOriginal:yyyymmdd> <Img TimeOriginal:hhnnss> And for .mov it would apply: <Video Date:yyyymmdd> <Video Time:hhnnss> My objective being that all the files to be listed in sequential order as for when the actual video and photo was actually shot. Also if the date and time is missing in the metadata for whatever reason I would like to fallback to the date and time the file was created. Do you think I could do that too? Thanks for your ideas, |

Hi I have a bunch of .JPG files in seq order IMG_0212.JPG etc. and I need to have them in "YYYYMMDD HHNNSS.jpg" format.
Unfortunately for some reason the date+time <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> of the photo is not always present in the metadata/exif... However it seems <ExifTool:FileCreateDate> or <ExifTool:DateCreated> is sometimes present. It's quite inconsistent actually depending on the file origins. Is it possible to create a rule that would extract the best value and reuse for the file name suggested above? (thinking of a mini "ïf-then" script) Thanks, |

I understand this isn't coming back, but is there somewhere I can get access to version 3.88 or earlier? The only reason I purchased this software was to use this option. When I go to "older versions", 3.89 is the oldest available and the option I need is missing from that version.

This renames files and moves them to the folder based on the date. What happens if there is already a file in that folder with that specific name?
if (app.parseTags('<ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>')) { returnStr = app.parseTags('<ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>'); year = returnStr.substr(0, 4); month = returnStr.substr(5, 2); day = returnStr.substr(8, 2); hour = returnStr.substr(11, 2); minute = returnStr.substr(14, 2); second = returnStr.substr(17, 2); } else if (app.parseTags('<ExifTool:FileCreateDate>')) { returnStr = app.parseTags('<ExifTool:FileCreateDate>'); year = returnStr.substr(0, 4); month = returnStr.substr(5, 2); day = returnStr.substr(8, 2); hour = returnStr.substr(11, 2); minute = returnStr.substr(14, 2); second = returnStr.substr(17, 2); } else { returnStr = ""; } item.newPath = "C:\\_PHOTOS\\" + year + "\\" + month; item.newName = year + month + day + "_" + hour + minute + second; return item.newName; |

i am trying to run a advance renamer script that will run a saved preset and will take source+destination paths and inject a variable that i created in an ADD method (in script I added "ADD_VAR"
arenc.exe -e "C:\rename-and-copyto.aren" -p "source_path" -o "destination_path" -s -var "ADD_VAR=text" 2 problems: 1. ADD_VAR. I am not sure I've got this correctly. Is there a tag to add a variable? Do i just write <ADD_VAR> in the tag field? When i run it the filename does not appear to get the "text" in the name 2. Filtering. Manual import allows filtering by text patterns, like for instance "pattern*" How can i enable this functionality. From gpt, it seems like i would add method SCRIPT, then add some code like ``` function returnNewName(index, item) { var fileName = item.name.toLowerCase(); if (fileName.startsWith("py")) { return item.newName; // Keep this file for processing } else { return ""; // Skip this file by returning an empty string } }``` but it doesnt work. I have a bunch of files in the source called pytorch, that i want to apply the script to, but not all the rest which do not start with with py*, for instance. Thanks |

Hello Forum, Great Program!
This is not a critical suggestion, but I would like to request possibly highlighting the borders around the Method Options when the user is hovering over the provided selections in the dark mode. My vision is a bit challenged so I love the dark theme, however, when selecting from an 'Add Batch Method' selection, the titles are a bit close and it would be a bit faster to select a method, for me anyhow, if the cursor would kind of highlight the borders around the selections when the mouse is over one of them. Particularly in the dark mode. Anyhow, thanks for considering, and this is not major, but would hope somewhere in the near future updates this could be a possible addition. Thanks Mhz |

I have a bunch of ebooks that I want to rearrange the file names of. Currently, they are arranged like this...
Alexandra Moody - Wrong Costar_ A YA Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (The Wrong Match Book 2), The.mobi And I want them to look like this... Alexandra Moody - The Wrong Match Book 2 - Wrong Costar- A YA Enemies-to-Lovers Romance, The.mobi In other words, author's name first, series name and book number (the part in parentheses) second, and then the book title. (Also, I want to change the underscore after 'Costar' to a hyphen, but this can easily be done in a separate replace command... it doesn't have to be done in the same step.) I know the best way to accomplish this is probably with a replace command and regular expressions, but I can't for the life of me figure out what expressions to use to accomplish this. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance! |

Hi everyone,
First off, what an awesome tool, kudos to the devs that bring us this, allowing us for proper organization in our media files!! I have a question (maybe simple) on formatting the way the date is written, when grabbed from Exif tag: <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>-<Name> So I want to rename my MP4 files using this method, which gives the accurate time when the clip was taken; this tag brings back (the date time in) this format: Date Time: 2024:08:01 20:22:42-04:00 Format on file name using the <> above: 2024_08_01 20_22_42-04_00-Name I want it to be 2024.08.01.20.22.42-04_00-Name (don't really need the -04_00, but I can leave it there) Is there a way to format it this way and incorporate it in this: <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>-<Name>? Thank you kindly |

At the end of installaltion there is a string "Launch Advanced Renamer" that is not localized.
Should be "Esegui Advanced Renamer" Exe file properties contain copyright info truncated on the right (string is too long). Could be possible to remove starting "Copyright (C)" part of copyright string becasue is not necessary due Copyright is the field name. In this way the string has enough space to see all copyright info. |

There's a bug in the latest version of ARen
On Chinese Win11 systems, when batch renaming shortcuts, it fails to recognize the names of the shortcuts. For example, x.exe - \u5feb\u6377\u65b9\u5f0f.lhk ARen can only recognize it as x.exe. It cannot recognize shortcuts with Chinese characters. |

Hi. I use vers 3.57 and receive JPGs from 2 camera = IMP with numbers from 1500 to 2000 AND IMP with numbers from 100 to 350
And I want to mix those JPS - i TAKEN- date-order. Not in the Modified- order (as that date is changed from the TAKEN date to the day that I imported pistures from camera to Windows) I can find the TAKEN date, as I list the files in the directory. Q: Where can I find and set the TAKEN info into the New Name? Regards Ole |

I have been using this software for years now and have loved it. This last update has some issues I am not sure you are aware of?
1. I can no longer click on the box to select or unselect a file that has been loaded for change, I have to right click and select it that way. 2. When I right click the run option doesn't do anything, it used to launch or execute the file in the list. 3. When I right click the property option that used to be there is gone, this was a very useful option. I really like this program and have great respect for your ability to put it together. I just wanted to make sure you are aware of these issues. |

Hi, I got some text from Chatgpt and saved it as usual in a notepad file. But AR won't show the whole information from this file.
S01E01: Ein neuer Anfang für Prinz Wilhelm S01E02: Freundschaften und erste Gefühle S01E03: Konflikte und Geheimnisse S01E04: Ein schwerer Verlust S01E05: Verrat und Konsequenzen S01E06: Die Macht der Liebe S01E01 - Ein neuer Anfang für Prinz Wilhelm S01E02 - Freundschaften und erste Gefühle S01E03 - Konflikte und Geheimnisse S01E04 - Ein schwerer Verlust S01E05 - Verrat und Konsequenzen S01E06 - Die Macht der Liebe "S01E0X:" and "S01E0X -" is missing completely when I copy it directly from ChatGPT |

Hi, folks. I've got a huge number of scanned images that eventually need to be renamed. I'm testing the facility of how to track renaming the files, and I've figured out how to export to CSV and get the old name and the new one (as well as the path and if the operation was "OK"). The trouble is, the values are not being separated. Instead for four columns, I'm getting just one that concatenates all those columns into one big long string. It seems to me that the default ought to be comma-separating the column values. How do I get each column in ARen to represent in a matching column when the information is in Excel?

Hello there…
I have broken my head figuring out but to no avail :( I appreciate any guidance on how to replace a given letter or character that is crammed between numbers on a filename (not extension) with a specific word with the correspondent spaces before the new word and after it ex. of existing file name: "letter b for word Build" FileName5.6.4b534.exe for this new one: FileName5.6.4 Build 534.exe ...other example of the same: "character _ for word Build" FileName3.1_749.exe for this new one: FileName3.1 Build 749.exe Thanks in advance! |

I KNOW this should be an easy one, but I am having a tough time thinking of how to do it.
sample filenames: 1x8 - The Double Affair 1x10 - The Finny Foot Affair My goal filename is: S## - e## - <Episode Name> The REPLACE method that I am currently using: Text to be Replaced: ^(.*)(\d+)x(\d+)(.*) Replace With: S0\2e\3 - \4 With this one, I am padding a 0 before the Season with a hard-coded '0', but I would like to change that, if possible. The value for e (Episode#) is not padded at all, and that is my goal here.....to pad both numbers to 2 integer places. Is there a way to do this with just 1 method, or would this require some scripting? |

Hi,
I want to copy part of a file name to another part. I can't see how to do this easily. Example 2020 04 01 - COVID 19 Daily Report for Apr 2020 Copy "01" and paste before Apr 2020 04 01 - COVID 19 Daily Report for 01 Apr 2020 |

Hello
I used to be an avid user of Advanced Renamer and have always managed to do what I wanted with it. After a long period of inactivity I've recently downloaded the new version and either I'm blind but I can't seem to find the option to add stuff such as episode names into my file name anymore? You used to be able to select "Import" near the top and find the needed data for your show. Then add that to your file name. Has this feature been removed? Or should I get new glasses? :D |

I want to change file Modifed, Created and last accessed timestamps to reflect the metadata in my docx files. The file name would remain unchanged.
Is this something I can do with Advanced Renamer? |

How can I get my old version back? I just updated to 4.03 or something like that, and not only is the interface totally different, but things don't work right!
For example, I'm trying to rename files inside a whole bunch of folders. When I try to select all the folders, the OK button is greyed out! If I select each one individually using CTRL instead of Shift, the button is NOT greyed out, but I have HUNDREDS of folders to do, and it's not practical to have to click each one! |

Sometimes the exiftool module doesn't get loaded, and this is solved by restarting the application.
I can't reproduce the issue, which seems to occur randomly. However, this morning I managed to get a gif for an MP4 file: https://i.postimg.cc/W1376nq3/MP4-2024-09-25-13- 09-36.gif |

Sorry, english isn't my native.
I did a recovery of 10000+ files. The file name were some random name. As these files are sequential file, the name should be intact. The recovery program didn't recover the filename. The filename can be viewed in the hex viewer. Can this software look inside the file and do the rename? |

Someone posted about copying a part of a date from one place in a file name to another. I have a different need: I need to copy a non-date number to the first position of the name of each of 13 files.
I work with audiobooks, and most of my use of Advanced Renamer applies to the chapters of audiobooks. Each file contains one chapter. The chapter number is in every file name. In most cases, there's a sequence number in the first position of a file name. In rare cases, there is no sequence number. Because there are two narrators, the files from each person are not sequential chapters. I have to copy the chapter number from the 14th and 15th position of the file name to the first two positions WITHOUT REMOVING THE CHAPTER NUMBER FROM ITS PLACE IN THE FILE NAME. The Move method will put the number where it needs to be, but it also removes it from its original position. example: Tom Sawyer_chapter01_narration.wav needs to become: 01_Tom Sawyer_chapter01_narration.wav How can this be accomplished in Advanced Renamer? Best, Shaun |

Second post attempt, think I got auto logged out while typing.

AR v4.03 Same behavior seen, so the issues still there. Two Or more decimal points negates the issue. Remame doesn't display the issue even with no renaming applied. Appears to just affect displayed names not function (Unverified assumption). |

Dear AR Team,
I just noticed this from going to version 4.03. For renaming images using Exif value, if you use the built-in <Model> tag under [Image] tab -> More, the model name gets many extra whitespaces at the end of model name. If you use old <ExifTool:Model> tag instead, you don't get whitespaces. For example: <Model>_<Filesize> will give you "EOS-200D _12345678.JPG" <ExifTool:Mode>_<Filesize> will giv eyou "EOS-200D_12345678.JPG" Possibly a bug from parsing within application? Thank you for a great tool. |

Hello again,
So it seems that I have to change the Output Folder every time I use that function, otherwise it defaults to a location I set ages ago. I've actually completely uninstalled AdvancedRenamer, deleted the Hulubulu folder in my 'user profile' settings, and I STILL can stop it defaulting to that old folder! Where on earth is it storing that setting? Still using 3.87 btw Help appreciated. |

This is an excellent utility - I've been a subscriber and regular user for over 4 years - I think it's worth it's weight in gold!
I just installed v4.03 but found that the video date tags don't work in this latest version. I re-installed v3.93 and the tags still work in this previous version. I'll stick with v3.93 for a while then try v4.03 again in a couple of months - fingers crossed! |

Let's rename "alice" to "bob".
Original: C:\Desktop\alice-folder\alice-subfolder\ Rename successful: C:\Desktop\bob-folder\alice-subfolder\ Error! Cannot find the folder "C:\Desktop\alice-folder\alice-subfolder\" ...because its containing folder has already been renamed. Is there a way to make it rename from deepest folders to the shallowest? EDIT: I may have figured it out - inversely ordering by Path column seems to work. I think I might have double- or triple-clicked it earlier, which led me to think it did nothing. |

En definitiva lo que pretendo es que se renumeren los archivos (que el programa lo hace sin problemas) pero también los subarchivos entendiendo por subarchivos los que aparecen numerados por ejemplo 06.01 o El método que tiene el programa para renumerar no tiene esa opción. |

I'm using Advanced Renamer to rename my MKV video files. I use the <Video Title> meta tag as the new filename.
Some video titles contain characters that are illegal in a filename. I know that I can configure a replacement character in "Settings" -> "Renaming" -> "Replace unsupported with". However, I would like to fine-tune this replacement: For example, I'd like to replace: " with ' : with ; Is there any way to do this with Advanced Renamer? I know that there is a Replace method but I think it only works for the original filename, not for the titles pulled from the meta tag. |

I have looked at the form and read the help section, but I feel I lack the vocabulary to ask this question correctly.
Basically, I have a bunch of files (PDF's) that I want to change the name of. They are all in one folder and thus are all unique names. I have a spread sheet with their current name and there supposed to be new name. I have tried the list replace, but can not get it to load the old name nor the new name into the columns. If I paste each one separately, I looks like it will work wonderfully, but there are 100rd's to do, so I would rather not go that route. So how do you load a list of names to the REPLACE and the REPLACE WITH columns using the list replace method. Any suggestions are appreciated. Shawn G |

Hi I hope someone can help.
I have a lot of episode files that need renaming/ numbering. I need to add eg. Gotham - S01E01 - filename.jpg Gotham - S01E01 - filename.mkv Gotham - S01E01 - filename.nfo Then it would go Gotham - S01E02 - filename.jpg etc.. I know how to do Gotham - S01E0 but don't know how to increase the numbering every 3 files. Thanks |

Very nice software!
I already did some advanced renaming, but it would be great to move photos (images, raw files, whatever) in the /photos subfolder. Same goes for video and audio. I need that to manage video projects, where a subfolder structure like: project/videos project/photos project/audio project/documents is very helpful. Currently, it appears to be impossible without JS, since there are no "metatags" like isImage, isVideo... and no IF conditions for moving files, am I right? |

I use 4.04p (and checked it in 4.03p). I have seen the forum entry with the space at the end of the <Model> tag. The "rename" workaround with the <ExifTool:Model> doesn't work for most of my image files, so I'm forced to the <Model> tag. But with the space at the end of the filename the program forgets to set the extension. I can set the "Apply to" to "name and extension" or "name" without any difference.
I work with renaming, then in a second batch I add the desired extension, but this causes problems with paired files. What is the recommended way to work while the problem isn't solved? |

Version 3.95, Windows
Timestamps inside files are no longer being updated. I have used this feature for years in my workflow. It's important to have this fixed, please. In the left pane "Renaming List method", under the Timestamp card, the 'filename pattern' radio is checked, with the pattern "<Year>_<Month>_<Day> <Hour>_<Min>_<Sec>". There might be a problem with the regex code. The root cause lies in the fact that this feature operates seamlessly when the file name perfectly matches the text in the "pattern" field, such as "2024_06_30 10_07_32.jpg". However, when there is trailing text, the feature fails to modify timestamps, as seen in "2023_11_10 16_03_50 - We Got Tamarack.jpg". |

Hello, great tool.
Just a note that when changing the timestamp (eg File Modified Date) by a relative amount it is not possible to type in a negative hour offset (eg. move file time back a few timezones). However if I copy and paste a negative number (eg. "-4") from another program into the input box everything works fine. In other words the functionality is fine, I just can't type a negative number directly. Cheers, |

AR is showing me dark blue text on a black background for files with a “Name collision”. MacOS in Dark Mode.
I don't know if its the same error as mentioned in the log of v 4.04: “Batch result panel showed some links in blue in dark theme” since I would call that the “preview panel”, but the problem is that one can hardly read the filenames. Maybe there should be an option for the user to choose another color or simply choose something like gray perhaps? |

Hi everyone,
I have a file with this pattern: PXL_20230305_155417718 I want to have it in this pattern: 2023-03-05 15.54.17 So i used this method: <Substr:5:4>-<Substr:9:2>-<Substr:11:2> <Substr:14:2>.<Substr:16:2>.<Substr:18:2> So far not a problem. My problem is: that the timecode is one hour behind the actual time. So I would need to add a+1 to <Substr:14:2>. I want it to look like that: 2023-03-05 16.54.17 Is there any solution? Thanks in advance! Philipp |

Hello
it is possible to change the creation date based on a simple rule. Specifically, I would like to change all files in my MP3 collection as follows. 31.12.[year] The main folder should show the oldest new date as the creation date. The subfolders should be the same as the changed files as the creation date. Example: Main Folder: Music Subfolders: A, B, C, etc Files: various pieces of music that have been defined as follows: 01 – Title, 02 – Title etc The year is available as a meta under [year]. I hope I have formulated my wish in an understandable way and would be very happy for help. In addition, I have to admit that I have no programming knowledge at all. Stefan |

I am having troubles using all of my 3.95 renaming method lists with version 4+. I always get the error 'Invalid Regular Expression'.
From trying to isolate things, I did find a place where it says, for example: * TRegExpr compile: unrecognized modifier (pos 14) This led me to assume the new Version is using TRegExpr. Following that lead I found myself at https://regex.sorokin.engineer/ which contained some documentation for the library. However, even when using specific examples listed in the documentation, such as: Positive lookahead assertion: foo(?=bar) matches "foo" only before "bar", and "bar" is excluded from the match. This still produced * TRegExpr compile: unrecognized modifier (pos 09). So I was wondering if I could get confirmation on the flavor of Regex being used and any other insight to assist in converting method lists to work in 4+ versions. Thank you in advance for your time. |

I'm trying to rename many video-files from iphone using advanced renamer. The <ExifTool:CreateDate> returns the date in UTC Time-stamped but I need to add +05:45 to make the file name reflect my local time-zone. I cannot figure out a way to do this.
Please help. |

In my music folder I have a large number of subfolders, each containing a jpg file called front. My purpose is to change the modification date of all the jpg files, but with version 4+ I get an error for most of them. The previous 3.95 version works fine. After this error the program crashes and it is not possible to close the window with the top right X.

Hello,
As I understand from another post, ExifTool seems to no longer be considered as a viable part of the renaming input. It was however the sole reason I chose this tool to do the renaming and ordering of my concert photo's: that I could organise and rename them according to exif values before adding them to my image processing software. My cameras are set up to each set a specific prefix, identifying the body, but I have no control in-camera, over the number it appends to said prefix. Instead, it's a rolling counter up to 9999, after which counting restarts from zero. To minimise the risk of duplicate filenames, I use the following script to move into YYYY/MM/DD folders per filetype, taking the original folder name along, as it's the band, and renaming the file to prefix_shuttercount.ext, based on ExifTool tags. As you see by the commented lines, I've already found some substitutes for some ExifTool tags, but the absence of shuttercount is a blocking issue for me ... //date = app.parseTags("<ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>").split(/[_ ]/); date = app.parseTags("<DateTimeOriginal>").split(/[_ ]/); //EXT1 = app.parseTags("<ExifTool:FileTypeExtension>"); EXT1 = app.parseTags("<Ext>"); EXT2 = EXT1.toUpperCase(); folder = app.parseTags("<DirName:1>"); Y = date[0]; M = date[1]; D = date[2]; h = date[3]; m = date[4]; s = date[5]; prefix = item.name.substr(0,4); counter = app.parseTags("<ExifTool:ShutterCount>"); item.newName = prefix + counter; item.newPath = "N:\\" + EXT2 + "\\" + Y + "\\" + M + "\\" + D + "\\" + folder; return item.newName; |

In the current Apple Silicon version 4.05, the characters ä, ö, ü are not taken into account.
I would like to replace ä with ae. Täsch.txt should become Taesch.txt. |

I tried to use AR 4.05 on an Imac (Intel). I can't scroll my long method list. 200 methods and I see only about 40 Methods.
Do I something wrong or is it a known bug? |

If a file begins with "The", is there a way for AR to:
- move "The" (and the space) to the end of the title but before the date - add a comma and a space before "The" Example: Original name: The Other Guys (2010) New name: Other Guys, The (2010) Any help is greatly appreciated. |

I have various types of audio files, such as ogg, opus, m4a. On these audio files the artist tag is working fine, but on the mp3 file the artist tag is matching with the lead performer tag. Is there a way to rename the lead performer tag to artist?

I am using an iMac and have version 4.05.00 of the program. I have a bunch of files that I need to rename. I have a spreadsheet with their current names, and what I want the name to be. I have tried the list method and the list replace method, but can not get the two left columns on the left to populate correctly. I am at a loss...any help is appreciated. Plus bonus points if you tell me which method I should be using. Shawn |

E.g.
If file name contains 'stranger_starwars' move to Folder that cointains 'stranger_starwars'. If file name contains '2ndAlbum_chapter_Rock' move to a Folder that contains 2ndAlbum. In other words: Move the file(s) to the folder that equals the first 3 words on the file. E.g. If a file contains: 1897568G_Tuareg_CamOrig Move it to a (side) folder within the same path that has in its name: 1897568G_Tuareg_CamOrig. (such as in "1897568G_Tuareg_CamOrig_Barrocoart_4K_C3") Or "1897568G and CamOrig" (as in "1897568G_Tuareg_CamOrig_Barrocoart_4K_C3") I am using a Mac (also have a PC if needed). Thank you! |

The audio track appears to be incorrect (different than the audio track listed in windows explorer), which is helpful when assigning the order. Perahps, there is an issue with the version of ID3.

I want to rename 10 folders (with sub folders) to all have the name Sample-xx where xx is a sequence of numbers from 01 to 10. These folders all have subfolders which I do not wish to be renamed.
How do I do this in Advanced Renamer? The GUI was not as intuitive to use for renaming folders as it is for renaming files. Documentation was WEAK WEAK WEAK really calling for someone with programmer knowledge to do this step. |

I want to add folder name to filename, skip if already have.
Example: FolderName/filename1.extnsn -> FolderName/FolderName - filename1.extnsn Obvious way: New name: <FolderName:1> - <Name> But if I done it once and already have: FolderName/FolderName - filename1.extnsn then next time I will get: FolderName/FolderName - FolderName - filename1.extnsn with doubled folder name in filename. How to avoid this, how to collapse all doubled, maby tripled "FolderName - FolderName..." to single "FolderName - "? |

Just upgraded to version 4 (4.05 and 4.06) and found that video (MKV) related scripts and tags that used to work in version 3 only seem to work for the first file now. As a test, I tried keeping things simple and found that even that doesn't work:
New name: <Height><Inc Nr:1> -> With MKVs: first file works, others just show the incremented number. With JPGs: works fine for every file. If I delete EXIFTOOL.EXE from the aren folder then: With MKVs: None show any height. With JPGs: all work. So, looks like an issue calling exiftool repeatedly? (I tried updating exiftool from the exiftool website but then none of the MKVs work so that didn't help. I also tried using the version of exiftool from my 3.x reinstall and even that didn't work.) |

Hello again!
Can someone pinpoint me how to replace a filename for another, while at the same time it's been reordered from after the version number to before the version number? Let's exemplify... Something like THIS: 1.59_Downloaded_Filename FOR: NewFileName v1.59 NOTE: It always has to apply to the condition of the downloaded name of the original filename Thanks! |

Hi,
is it possible to write EXIF data of images from partial filename? Example: filename is: 24_11_18 12_00_00 testimage.jpg (it starts with date and time) can i write date and time into exif data "FileCreateDate"? In this case 24_11_18 12:00:00 This would help to get the pictures sorted correct in cloud storage like google photos. Thank you so much for help, Walter |

have been using Advanced Renamer for a while now. For the most part I'm happy with it. it does what i need it to. Just have on problem i run into more often than i would like. The program only pulls information from tvmaze.com. My media server and most other metadata scrapers pull information from thetvdb.com, which typically is always the official air date order which can be different from the way tvmaze.com orders their stuff at times. which means if the files of a tv series are named and ordered the way tvmaze has them, the scraped meta data for the server will be wrong. So basically i'm asking if it would be possible add support for thetvdb (as well imdb possibly) with a menu option to select which source to pull the data from.

This is my first time using advanced renamer so I need some help!!
My files (photos) are not fully sequential (taken from Excel workbooks where some pages had photos and some didn't. Sheet1_Picture 1.JPEG Sheet5_Picture 1.JPEG Sheet5_Picture 2.JPEG Sheet 6_Picture 1.JPEG etc down to Sheet 93. Some sheets have up to 5 photos I need them to be renamed as such: (Where Sheet 1 is 101815) 101815_1.JPEG 101819_1.JPEG 101819_2.JPEG 101820_1.JPEG Is there a way of doing this please? |

I want to rename a group of filenames as follows:
Number - Title with spaces - Author's name with spaces.ext ---> Number - Author's name with spaces - Title with spaces.ext Using " - " as boundary marker, the Swap method doesn't work, because it swaps only 2 blocks. Using RegEx is quite clumsy and time consuming to write. I propose a tag <Block n>, where Block is delimited by a user defined divider. So renaming the above example, using " - " as divider, would become <Block 1> - <Block 3> - <Block 2>.ext |

Hola a todos,
Soy nuevo con este programa, y estoy intentando renombrar una serie de archivos, insertando un número aleatorio de (x) cifras (tanto como archivos existentes) al inicio del nombre del fichero, pero respetando el resto del nombre, y no consigo hacerlo, os pongo ejemplo: NOMBRE ORIGINAL Fichero 1.txt Fichero 2.txt Fichero 3.txt Fichero 4.txt NOMBRE FINAL TRAS ORDENAR FICHEROS 0001 - Fichero 2.txt 0002 - Fichero 4.txt 0003 - Fichero 1.txt 0004 - Fichero 3.txt Como observáis, se han insertado caracteres numéricos, y necesito que se hagan con todos los ficheros de la misma carpeta, respetando esos criterios. Si a alguien se le ocurre algo, por favor, que lo diga. Muchas gracias |

Using replace method, AutoTest showed apparent success, as did the actual "Start batch" button, on a set of ~250 files.
Yet checking in the Windows 10 File Explorer shows that the files weren't renamed, even after I closed the Advanced Renamer (v 3.85). Suggestions, fix? <~20 minutes passed> Perhaps some of the files were "Locked" by an active image processing application, since closed? Closing that app, allowed success in new attempts with AdvRen. Seems that my request for a fix is instead another product endorsement! |

Hi
I purchased this software and find it extremely useful. But sometimes, like now, I get badly stuck, especially when I have a project to deliver. I have a list of 500 files with names odd_page_001, odd_page_002, odd_page_003, odd_page_004 and so on, up to odd_page_500. I have another set of 500 files with names even_page_001, even_page_002, even_page_003, even_page_004 and so on, up to even_page_500. I have to finally mix these pages so that when I create a pdf I get alternate odd-even-odd-even.... Hope you understand. My problem now is, I need to rename or renumber the files such that the first lot, the odd lot appears as odd_page_001, odd_page_003, odd_page_005, odd_page_007 and so on, while those in the even lot appear as even_page_002, 004,.,.. I am unable so simply get what syntax to use for the renaming. Any help would be fantastic. |

Hello! I just found this application and have been very impressed with its features thus far. However, I do have a rather complex naming that I'd like to do and don't know how to get started here.
I have a lot of files that follow this convention: Name_RandomText_MMM_DD_YYYY.pdf where MMM represents Jan/Feb/Mar/etc., DD represents the day number with 2 digits, and YYYY represents the year number with 4 digits. I'd like to convert the above files to the following: NewText_YYYY.MM.DD_Name where NewText is something I'd like to append to the file, YYYY represents the year number with 4 digits, MM represents the month number with 2 digits, and DD represents the day number with 2 digits. Would love any insight on how to begin solving this! |

Hi,
I think most people like the picture-name to start with when taken, right? YYYYMMDD-### (rest of filename) So why is't there a standard BatchMethods that tries to find the oldest date in all dates that are provided? It should first look if there is a Exif-DateTimeOriginal or -CreateDate is present, if not maybe the Exif-ModifyDate, if not some other date, including the one that is written in the filename, or finally the <Img Year/month/day> or <Year/month/day Modified>. Even add a "! " at the front if there is something strange about the dates that conflict in a way that modified-date is older than taken-date. I'm sure many of you already tried this. Please share, test and finally add it to the standard BatchMethods. thank you |

somehow managed to delete or change the display on a previous install. Re-installing the same version did not fix the issue. Downloaded a 'new' zip installation file, which has a slightly different interface and I now can see the files being changed, but there is no way to see what is in the batch queue and the "start batch" icon is not in the top, as indicated by the image on: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/

I'm wondering why AR is running at about 20% of my CPU cycles when it's doing nothing. It's the most demanding application on my system. It's listed as VERY HIGH power usage. Constantly.
And the AR window only has 14 methods in it. I have batches that are over 300 methods and I don't remember it ever showing a very high power trend. I only noticed it after I upgraded to v3.84. |

hi ! (sorry for the unclear title ^^)
ok so, i want to create a folder for a list of tracks an create the album folder. The name of the folder is based on tracks names. I use the batch mode "move". Check the following example below ;) I have : "Darondo - Let My People Go - 01 Let My People Go.flac" I want to move it to : Darondo - Let My People Go/ 1- I tried to create a folder based on the file's name but i can't find a way to do it with regex to get "Darondo" and "Let My People Go" or even just "Darondo - Let My People Go" 2- I tried to get it from the file tag but id3 are not found with flac files. :'( Ideally, I would like to add the year of the album as a prefix. EXAMPLE : Folder name = "2005 - Darondo - Let My People Go" thank youu :) <3 |

After looking through the user manual and forum postings, I have not yet found a direct way to isolate files listed whose names do not change given my renaming rules.
- Sure, if I apply my naming rules, unchanged names will remain unchanged. But if I have 1000s of files and only a few whose names change. I'd like to isolate those few to preview proposed changes. - Yes, unchanged names are grayed out. But again, I can't seem to sort on grayed vs ungrayed to isolate those names that do change. So, I have a clunky rule script workaround. I'd welcome any suggestions as to a better way. //---------------------------------------------------------- // This script must be the final rule in the renaming rules list // It will throw an error for filenames that remain unchanged if(item.name == item.newBasename){ item.errorCode = 101; item.errorMessage = "NameUnchanged"; } //---------------------------------------------------------- Now, when previewing the results of my renaming rules, unchanged files will be in red indicating an error. I can then use the "List" pulldown (located at the top of the listed files to the right of the green+) and select "Remove erroneous items". The only files that remain afterwards are those whose names change. Oh, yes, I sometimes will toggle that workaround script to see if there are any real errors! |

This is the last time I try an app from set apps.. I swear- I was batch editing the date and timestamp- hit apply.. a window popped up and said something already has that date and time and asked if I wanted to continue..I thought "yea, I want them all the same.." instead it merged all of my files into one photo and the others are now gone and wont undo!? What happen to non-destructive and smart undo? Where is this back up your site mentions!? This just seriously screwed me. Why would you even have delete as a functionality in a RENAMER. Please advise.

Hello all.
I have lots of files in different folders that I want to rename. In each foulder the files are named like V000_I000;V000_001 till V000_I019. So, I want to rename this files 20 by 20 to have something like: the 1st 20 files from V000_I000 to V000_I019, 2nd 20 files from V001_I000 to V001_I019 next from V002_I000 to V002_I019 and so on. Any idea how to do this? |

I have a bunch of zip files like this:
(username)-(uid)-(date)-(serial)-(suffix).ext e.g. ensh102-2137895674828974-20191225_223055-img.zip I want to sort them into (username)/(username)-(uid)-(date)-(serial)-(suffix).ext I am usually relying on Regex when using this software, and I wonder if there is a regex way to make this happen. This app is very powerful and I appreciate it, but I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out the syntax and managing communication between the rules. Thanks |

Hello,
we purchased 5 licenses of Advanced Renamer for commercial use. When we try to activate an error is shown: "error communicating with server" We tried a connection with proxy bypass because no proxy can be configured in AR settings. Result is the same. Regards |

Hi, I love what this s/w does to filenames. I would like to know if the same can be done with file content, ie word doc. Something like replacing a word or phrase in a batch of files? Thanks

I am looking to rename files using data of when the file was last accessed, not when it was created or modified.
I see options for adding: Datetime created tags Datetime modified tags But no Datetime accessed tags. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong area... thanks for any help! |

Hi there,
I know Advanced Renamer can Edit the Meta Info of JPG images. However I'd like to use the Meta info "Comment" as a variable to rename my files. How can I achieve this? Thanks Mike |

Hi! I have reinstalled Windows on a new HDD and I am in the process of reinstalling programs. I have installed Advanced Renamer and it works, but not with ExifTool.
I have downloaded exiftool-11.84.zip, unzipped it, removed the (-k) from the name and moved it to C:\Windows. I have checked that this folder is on the system PATH. I can execute exiftool just by typing it on the command window in any folder, which attests that it is installed correctly. However, Advanced Renamer is unable to find it. When I click the ExifTool button it opens a window asking to install exiftool. When I type <ExifTool:Model> in the New Name window it produces the error Invalid tag on the first file and EixfToll error on the following. I would appreciate if someone could help me. |

I had great hopes of Advanced Renamer but my first experience wasn't good. I selected all the files in my Pictures folder (3990 of them) and it starts analyzing files but at some 75% completed (according to the progress bar) the program stops responding and hangs forever. Using Microsoft Internals tools I saw that it's apparently done with all the files, no new file activity from that point, and it's just burning CPU cycles like crazy. Left it for two hours but nothing else happened. Is there a limit on the amount of files it can handle, or anything else I need to be aware of ? My version is 3.85, just downloaded from advancedrenamer.com. Using Windows 10, version 1803 (OS Build 17134.950). Any ideas ?
TIA, Chris |

Hello,
first of all thanks for the great software! I need to write the length of each wav-file in its filename and am hoping to get the solution with Advanced Renamer. I found no tags, with them I can read the length of the file and write it in the file-name. The wav-files have no ID3-Tags but all have the same bit-rate and sampling-rate. Can someone help me writing the length (minutes and seconds) in the file-name? If there is no such tag, I would like to calculate the estimatet length out of the size of the file (kilobytes / 31.42). 31.42 is the estimated divisor becaus of mono, 16bit and 16000khz sampling rate. Can someone help me with a script? That would be great. Thank you again!! |

Good Morning,
I have a banner across the top of AR that a new version is available. I click and it takes me to the site but no info on how to upgrade. Do I just download again? Billie DrB |

Hi,
Is it possible to write EXIF-data "Date taken" from the filename? I have a bunch of files named with their date-taken-data, but they don't have it inside. So my smartphone always has it in wrong oder, because it sorts from date taken. Any chance to do it with this program? |

I am trying to return certain letters to lowercase after using 'Title Caps'
i thought the easiest way would be to just use a list but i can't seem to create the right pattern, i've tried the following: (And|Or|Of) And|Or|Of etc... if i type one word on it's own (And) the method matches and returns 'A' to lowercase. |

Is it possible to rename a file with the name of other file in the same folder (they both have different extensions)?
Example: I have 3 files in the same folder: Name of the Movie (2009).mp4 Name of the Movie (2009)-spa.srt English.srt How can I rename the file "English.srt" to "Name of the Movie (2009)-eng.srt? Note: the name of the folder is "Name of the Movie (2009_name of the director" and I don't want to change it. Thank you very much. |

Hello,
I am trying to remove occurrences of "(1/6)" to "(6/6)" in filenames. In Regex Tester, it works by using this pattern: \([1-6]\/6\) But in Advanced Renamer I cannot find a way to match the forward slash. https://regex101.com/r/sA7pZ0/112 Any help would be much appreciated, thank you! |

According to the User Guide;
https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/setti ngs_imagefiles The default EXIF field is: Date Taken. But in the latest version 3.85 , the default is changed to Date Digitized. Just so you know |

I noticed from the home page of advancedrenamer.com the GPS Values button in the ribben with a red balloon, but in my version it is greyed out.
I search through the user guide and the forum, but don't see any earlier remarks/question about this. I use the portable version(3.84 and 3.85) Florisz |

Hello from a newbie using this awesome program.
I am trying to rename some 500+ files to some standard format for indexing/archiving. The filename lengths vary around 60~65 chars. The name structure/punctuation also varies according to the person naming. Example:"Al & Suz Joint open statement as of Jan 4, 2019.pdf" The key is to have the filename start with an ISO style YYYY-MM-DD changed from Jan 4, 2019 & without the ext cannot get past this date challenge. Therefore from the filename example above, the final required name pattern may be "2019-01-04 JOINT.pdf" So using the List Replace method I can transform the months "Jan" to "-01" for all months. Same for the days "4" to "-04" So from file name "Joint -01-04 2019" I need to get to the final name above. So given the transform so far '-01-04 2019' how do I get the year to the front AND get the fully formed pattern to the front of the filename. If someone would be so kind to point me in the correct direction I would appreciate the help. Oh, I forgot to mention I don't speak REGEX. Thank You A |

I used to have the following naming convention for files: YYYYMMDD <file name>.
I would like to change it to YYYY-MM-DD <file name>. Any suggestion on how to handle it? |

I've just updated my PC from XP /ARen 3.84 to Win 10 / ARen 3.85
Now, if Advanced Renamer is already open, the Explorer Context Menu item "Add to Advanced Renamer" opens a new instance of Advanced Renamer instead of adding the selected files to an existing instance. |

Hi, I have been using this program for my work for the last 2 years. It is an extremely great piece of software, since I have to often rename thousands of photo files at a time with very specific names. Thank you very much for it, I made the company I work for buy 4 licenses and will gladly buy more as needed.
I was wondering if there is any way I could interface with the software with Python? I know that you have Javascript coding inside the software but I wanted to incorporate it in some scripts I'm working on. Thank you |

I have several large documents I need to unitize and rename with an assigned bates number that's located on the bottom right hand corner.
When I run the batch the documents are out of order which results in an incorrect bates number name -- the name I assigned doesn't match the number on the document. |

Hey guys,
I have a bunch of folders with varying character counts in the format of the following MOVIENAME (YEAR) (FILES DETAILS) Im trying to remove the file details from the name... So it would look like this MOVIENAME (YEAR) Problem im having is that the file details part is different sizes for each folder. The movie name is also of differing sizes. I've tried several suggestions here but cant seem to figure it out for this scenario. Note: closest i got was using the remove pattern options and removing (*) but this took out (YEAR) and i cant figure out how to get it to take out the last group Thanks in advance... Key. |

Ok so i am a 3D artist and I have a folder whereby there are 3D models (lets say 10 of them) and there are 10 corresponding images that show a preview of these models. What I want to do is ensure the filenames of the images are exactly like the 3D models.
So for example - the 3D models name is PLANT-01 and the image preview of that is PLANT_01_preview - what i want to do is change the name of each image to match that of the 3D model name exactly - is this possible? In most cases there are matching letters in both 3D model filename and corresponding image - is this possible? Thanks so much |

I have thousands of scanned photos that are paired and sometimes tripled, not with the same file name and different extensions (like IMG_0123.jpg and IMG_0123.raw ) but, rather, with slightly different file names and the same extension to differentiate an "original" photo from one and sometimes two different color-corrected ones. Each file pair (or, sometimes, triple) is named using the following convention: (1) the original file is FF_#### [description].jpg (#### being a 4-digit number sequence), (2) FF_####a.jpg (same number sequence with suffix "a" to denote the first color corrected image file), and (3) FF_####b (same number sequence, but with "b" suffix to denote the second color-corrected image (if that exists). An actual example is: (1) FF_2059 [Marc 1971-10-02].jpg, (2) FF_2059a.jpg, and (if there is a third) (3) FF_2059b.jpg. There is always at least one "a" color-corrected file and sometimes, but not always a "b" file as well.
What I want to do is to rename the "a" and "b" files to have the same bracketed description as the original file, but keeping the "a" and "b" suffixes. I have many thousands of these pairs and triples in a folder, and have tried everything I can think of but cannot figure out a way to use the existing renaming methods to transfer the description of the base file name to the "a" and "b" files. I tried embedding the file name of the base file into the file's metadata (e.g., putting "FF_2059 [Marc 1971-10-02]" into the metadata title field), and then using the New Name method with <ExifTool:Title> as the new name and Pair Renaming. But that doesn't work because, apparently, <ExifTool:Title> looks for the title in the paired "a" file's metadata, finds nothing, so erases the name of the "a" file rather than take the name of the base file and use it for the paired "a" file name. I have looked through the forum and, unless I missed it, do not see a solution to my problem. I sense that if what I want to do can be done by AR, it'll require a custom Script. But I don't program, so I'm stuck. Can you help? Thanks. |

Hi,
thanks for the great program. I have a problem I hope you can help solving. I have a list in Excel of all the folders with their paths that need to be renamed, for example: path | Name path/2/42/3542/ New Name 1 path/1/81/5081/ New Name 2 ... Is there a way to use Advanced Renamer to rename all those folders? I suspect I have to use the script option, but I am not familiar with JavaScript. Any help with a script is greatly appreciated. |

For example I have these files.
Point 1: C:\Users\Windows10\Desktop\videos 01video.mkv 02video.mkv 03video.mkv 04video.mkv 05video.mkv 06video.mkv Point 2: C:\Users\Windows10\Desktop\files In another folder these files in different order (selected) jmlmkjkhjk.mkv sjsfjsj.mkv sfjsfj.mp3 4535.avi bd.mp4 gdgd.mp4 How can I just transfer only the file name from point 1 to point 2? |

Hi,
I need a script that does the following: Set the startnumber for files. Rename items starting with the startnumber. ("Name"+(startnumber+index);) If the file is ~2x the size of a regular image, then name it ("Name"+(startnumber+index)+"-"+(startnumber+(index+1));). So for example: Picture 1: 300 width Picture 2: 600 width Picture 3: 300 width Startnumber = 5 => "Picture 5" "Picture 6-7" "Picture 8" Idea: Pre-batch: Iterate through all images in the list and get the item.imgWidth. Pseudocode: var minSize=9999; while(index<totalItemsInList){ if( item.imgWidth < minSize ) { minSize = item.imgWidth; } index++; } Main script: function(index, item){ var val = index; if (item.imgWidth > minSize*1.6){ return "Name "+index+"-"+(index+1); } else { return "Name "+index; } } The problem is that "index" is the wrong variable in this case. It had to be a "startNumber" variable that I can set before I start the batch. For example, I have pictures 1-10 in one folder and 11-20 in another. I'd want to apply the script to folder one with the startNumber=1 and then folder two with startNumber=2. But I don't know how to do that. Any ideas? |

I have lots and LOTS of tv shows and all of them have a period between each word in the titles and also the subtitles (for late night episodes - the guest of the episode) and after that there is mostly Season # then episode # or it would be air date, mostly trying to figure out how to quickly get around the air date which is normally separated like 2020.02.11
Typical file structure: Lights.Out.with.David.Spade.2020.02.06.mkv I really would like that get them all to be Lights Out With David Spade - 02-06.mkg Is there a way to replace all periods until it finds a date area and then change peirod point to - or something else. not sure what id rather, i just want to get past the replace all periods to a space until it gets to the numbers part. Possible? |

Hello, I have files in a folder i need changed:
from 01 to 01-02 like so: 01 to 01-02 02 to 03-04 03 to 05-06 04 to 07-08 05 to 09-10 etc i didn't see any preset that would do it. though i was able to change the single padded number to every other number. 01, 03, 05, 07, 09. then i was able to manually go in and add the rest. but i'm sure there is a better way to do it with Advanced Renamer. I'm guessing in the script. but that seems just a bit too advanced for me. have any suggestions? Also the numbers are only part of the filenames. they generally have characters before and after the numbers. thanks, -Dev |

All, I'm new to the software and in the initial stages of learning curve. I have bunch of images that I want to rename in following way -
Original name Updated name <something_random>.jpg G1_001_front <something_random>.jpg G1_001_back <something_random>.jpg G1_002_front <something_random>.jpg G1_002_back <something_random>.jpg G1_003_front <something_random>.jpg G1_003_back In general naming pattern will be G1_xxx_yy; where yy will have 2 values, "front" and "back" and xxx will start from 001 and end at 999. All images are already arranged in chronological order. I'm not able to find a function that will allow me to do this. Any help is appreciated! Thanks Shan |

Hello,
just want to express my gratitude for creating this, seeing also as it's free. The software is incredible, there is literally every option available and saves the hassle of having to write "for" loops with variables in linux, or using the power shell (which doesn't work at all) to batch rename in windows. Just one click and it does it all. Incredible time saver. Thanks so much for this, you have a place in programming heaven Robert |

Hello, I'm new to advanced renamer and like to know how can I retreive text from a PDF.
I test the advanced tag "file content" and gets a lot of graphical stuff, maybe i don't know to use it. I test the exiftool but only give the file tags not the actual text content. Is there a way to do it using script? I don't know how to use it at all. What i try to acheived is that I'd like to extract a name from a PDF file content in order to move the rename PDF to a new directory based on that name Thank you |

Keep getting

Please help, have a licensed version but not able to run. Interestingly I downloaded portable version of advanced_renamer_portable_3_84_1 and that is running. It is not just running the latest version (I tried both portable and installer version) |

Hi,
as mentioned in my other topic, when I add images to rename in AR 3.85, I get the error: "Access violation at address 6328F7B5 in module 'js32.dll'. Read of address 02C2F77C." when I add "too many" files. "Too many" may be more than 12 with some files, or just more than 4 with others. When it throws this error, the file seem to be in the list, but they are "invisible". I have a folder with 7 files in it. When I have AutoTest enabled and add more than 3 files at once, it throws the error. When I have AutoTest disabled, it works fine. Even when I throw in all 7 files at once. But when I try to TestBatch, it throws the same error, but the files don't disappear. Is there a known cause and fix for this problem? |

Hello. Love the app. Simple request.
"List Replace" Please increase width of input text boxes. REGEX is usually a long string in general and mine are the same. The text boxes are very small and have to scroll left right for the search/replace always. So it's hard to view the list & quickly find which regex want to change. Could you please make the boxes wider or make them resizeable? Or another way which also would be nice is to have the same layout as single replace (search on top of replace box so both boxes are full width) |

I have been a licensed user of Advanced Renamer since 2017. I have just done a clean install of Windows 10, having previously used Windows 7. When I re-install Advanced Renamer and enter my license key, I am told that it is an invalid key. What is going on? Surely I don't have to buy a new license in order to re-install? I have tried it with both the lastest version of Advanced Renamer and the old 2017 version which I saved when I first registered the software.

Hello, first thanks for making this, it's an invaluable tool. I just have a couple questions/issues about helping performance.
1. Would it be possible to have the software not calculate the changes to a method if the method is not checked as active? I often have very large data sets that I need to rename and the software hangs for every character that I type into the parameters for a method. It would be nice to uncheck the method, make the changes and then re-check it to let it crunch all the changes at once. 2. In the same vein as above, it would be nice to have an option to not analyze the files. This would be helpful for large data sets you want to do a basic rename for and not do anything that would require metadata that would be analyzed. Thanks for your time! |

Hi, when I try to drag files from a network drive, or drive network files from the folder pane in Advanced Renamer, they are not visible? Does it not support mapped network drives? They are visible in all my other windows apps. I'm using AdvRenamer 3.85 and Windows 10 v 1903 Build 18362.476.
Any ideas? thanks! |

Hi, I need to rename about 300 files from the example below and I'm struggling to get my head around it
From ABC_DEF_1\23456789_2020_03_04 to ABC_DEF_1\2345XXXX_2020_03_04 Each file has the constant ABC_DEF_1\2345NNNN_2020_03_04 but the NNNN part is different on all files, I just need to make the NNNN part in to XXXX Many thanks |

Example) Suppose this files exist:
ParentFolder\(123456)FolderA\01.txt ParentFolder\(123456)FolderA\02.txt ParentFolder\(123456)FolderA\03.txt ParentFolder\(587234)FolderB\01.txt ParentFolder\(587234)FolderB\02.txt I want these to be: ParentFolder\(123456)FolderA_01.txt ParentFolder\(123456)FolderA_02.txt ParentFolder\(123456)FolderA_03.txt ParentFolder\(587234)FolderB_01.txt ParentFolder\(587234)FolderB_02.txt Can you use AR to achieve this? What are the options? |

I'm trying to change the accessed date value for a file to be the creation date of another file. I think this could be done with a script as well but I don't have the scripting knowledge to do that. I'm hoping that it can also be done with the CSV Data import function.

Hello we are doing a project where we are replacing lead water services with copper for thousands of homes. The engineer is requiring that we name the files as following:
<house address>_<date picture taken>_<pre/during/post construction>_<feature name> We upload pictures during preconstruction, construction and post construction for each house. So there will be three specific created dates for those groups of pictures. I have various pictures in each folder for each house address I figured out how to name the file using the directory name as such: <DirName:1> <Year Created><Month Created><Day Created>... Is there a method I can use where the program will take a look at the created dates and automatically name whatever is pre/during/post construction>? Basically the earliest will be preconstruction, the latest will be post construction and everything in the middle will be construction. |

Hey! This may be a stupid question, but I'm trying to batch rename files based off of a CSV file that I made containing student ID's in column 1 and "lastname,firstname" in column 4. When I import the CSV file and run the tool, it renames the files in alphabetical order instead of reading the unique ID's and assigning the student names. Am I missing something here?
ex. State ID_ 1003615662.pdf gets renamed to the right style of "lastname,firstname.pdf" but to another student. Scrolling through the 1800 transcripts, its only assigning the names alphabetically instead of aligning with the State ID_ ######### in column 1. By the way, the software is amazing and thank you so much for creating this tool! |

I have a few hundred episodes (300), now it gets all jumbled I put them, it's like 1 then 10 - 19, then 2 - 29, then 3 - 39, and so on. I could just make 99 different rename methods but that's too time-consuming. I am also not doing it separately because I have more than one series/seasons, so it adds up to huge manual labor.
So, is there a better way to just add 0 to 1 - 9 and 00 to 10 - 99? (without manually putting the first 99 first separately) Thanks! |

Hi,
while using the program I noticed that it doesn't work when you throw files with different endings together. For example a folder with mixed .jpg and .png files. Does someone know what causes this limitation? |

I have a group of files that comes in everyday in the following format:
CKRUMANA_20200324060714_email.csv The middle changes each day by the date, so the file name changes each day. I am looking to rename these files and move them automatically if possible each day. The file rename would make the above become: email.csv Any help or guidance on this? I have it working in the program if I do it by hand but I would rather automate this. |

Hi, I need to rename
from aaaaa_bbbb_ccccc_1581804175_dddd.mp4 to bbbb_2020-01-15_17-02-55_dddd.mp4 to convert the epoch time I use this script https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=3822 but it only works if the epoch time is the name of the file: "1581804175.mp4" I'm using replace to extract that segment and then apply the script 1. Replace (.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*) \4 2. Script but I don't know how I can add the other segments. Thanks |

I want ot remove from actual filenames
(e.g. IMG-20181126-WA0074, IMG_20181120_102648, VID-20181124-WA0045) the stringes IMG-, IMG_, VID-. I tried as explained in the instructions using the "replace" method. I inserted the command: "<IMG->\<IMG_>\<VID->" in the first line an nothing in the second line. Unluckely the result was that the whole names get cancelled: the new names was just athree digit sequence (_001, _002, _003 ecc). How can I save the rest of the file names just without the stringes as IMG- ecc (e.g. 20181126-WA0074, 20181120_102648, 20181124-WA0045)? Thanks for helping me. |

Is there a way to import FFprobe into a script under the Renaming methods list > Script part?
https://ffmpeg.org/ffprobe.html I'm finding that the existing baked in tags aren't always reliable and thought it'd be useful if an external tool like ffprobe could be used to analyze and extract data such as video height, width, bitrate etc. Right now, I'm getting things like value 0 when using item.videoWidth Also, I found that at one point - item.videoWidth seemed to work but after playing with it for a while it seems like Advanced Renamer might have stripped the data out as I kept getting 0 in subsequent tests. I'm not sure I fully understand how this is working internally. |

Hi
I recently reinstalled Windows 10 and the Advanced Renamer app. I copied and pasted all my saved presets to the below folder: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Hulubulu\Advanced Renamer 3\Data I restarted the app and the Presets dropdown is empty. What else do I need to do to make all my presets appear in the Presets dropdown please without manually adding every one of the 20 I have created? Thanks! |

I am trying to use the <Video Framerate> tag to append the framerate to the end of the filename of many MP4 files. This end of my list of tags in my "New Name" method looks like this:
blah-blah-blah_<Video FrameRate>fps The current result is an error in AutoTest, "No video information found" for every file. The metadata is there -- I can use Properties->Details and see all the usual metadata, including frame rate. As a test, I also tried using <Video Width>, <Video Height> <Video Duration> <Video Bitrate> and <Video Audio Bitrate>and all have the same issue. Other non-video tags such as <Filesize Mb>and <Day Created> work fine. I did see the disclaimer "Note, not all video types and codecs are supported." however, MP4 is hardly an obscure type. Can someone try video tags with their own MP4 files as a check? Thanks! |

Hi,
It would be immensely useful to be able to see how the replace or add or remove etc. command is expressed in a command line command + regular expression. I use advanced renamer for very simple tasks like inserting text at index 0 of a file name when I would rather to use the command line. But its an excessive level of googling to find out how, when advanced renamer could just tell me. Is there a way to show this? Thanks, Blabbo |

Hi there,
I don't know if title is clear...I don't think so! sorry!! I have a problem and I don't know how to handle it ... I have a folder with many subfolders. In each subfolder I have files that belong to 5 different groups. *The group id is in the namefile* When I made the groups, I made a mistake naming the files. So aech file from... Group 1 should be renamed group 4 Group 3 should be renamed group 1 Group 4 should rename as group 3 Is there a way to rename the mixed files ensuring that they are unique changes and that with new changing that don't erase the last renaming? When I run replace for each case the changes are mixed !! : / Thank you!!! |

Hi,
I have a set of files looking like: [Fixed nameA][Fix nameB][01].[variable caracters].extension of the file I want to replace the caracter dot "." by something else, but without changing the "." that is just before the file extension. The usual replace approach do not wotk because it would also change the file extension delimiter.. Do you know how to proceed ? |

Hi to all!
First I wish you a nice Easter weekend. Question: How to change the following Filename 'BMW M4 Coupé vs. Ford Mustang Fastback - GRIP - Folge 319 - RTL 2' to 'GRIP - Folge 319 - BMW M4 Coupé vs. Ford Mustang Fastback - RTL2' (maybe using regex). I tried it, but it didn't work. Thanx in advance Kurt |

I have several photos with multiple filenames and I want to rename them by replacing the current names with the date each file was created. For instance a file named CAM00024 that was created 22-March-2013, to be renamed to 20130322 or 2013March22 or 2013-March-22.

I have a bunch of methods I have saved in an .aren file that I use frequently together. Its a mixture of replaces, list replaces, renumbers, new cases, and a whole lot more, most with regex enabled.
While they work smoothly for the most part, sometimes when an exceptional case comes through, it becomes very difficult to find out what expression/condition in which method is responsible for it, especially if the issue lies in a ListReplace method. For most other methods its a single expression, so its easy to enable/disable the method and see if its causing an issue. But ListReplace methods are all applied to the filename sequentially, and there is no way to enable/disable a singular expression within a ListReplace, so it becomes very tough to debug these. Is there a way to get a kind of a debug report so I can better judge what expression in a ListReplace method is responsible for the issue? |

Hello I'd like to change the file names to sort by date easily while keeping the text at the end as is.
Example: April_9,_2020 March_8,_2017 January_7,_2018 - hello world how are you To: 20.04.09 17.03.08 18.01.07 - hello world how are you Currently, I use swap, list replace, renumber and remove but the "- hello world how are you" part is mixing up the whole thing. How can I keep anything that comes after the DD e.g "09,08,07" whether there is a space, "-" or anything to just stay the way it is so that when I give append to the title of my documents after the year YYYY say "2020abc" or "2020 abc" or "2020.abc" or "2020 - abc" etc... whatever I write after the year will remain the same. Thank you Thank you |

Hello, i have several files that start like this
W23 RandomName1.txt W66 RandomName2.txt W34 RandomName3.txt W67 RandomName4.txt I want the first 4 (including space) characters gone, it will ALWAYS be 2 numbers from 0 to 9 and the letter will ALWAYS be "W", (note that Its not a given that it will have the pattern at all) RandomName1.txt RandomName2.txt RandomName3.txt RandomName4.txt I figured how to do it in a primitive way (literally removing one by one), but i figured there should be a better way, when i tried to implement a wildcard by myself all it did was delete everything ahead. Thanks --edit, made it a little less messed up |

if(item.extension == '.MP4')
{ nName = app.parseTags('<Video Date Year><Video Date Month><Video Date Day>_<Video Date Hour><Video Date Min><Video Date Sec>(AX700)'); names[item.name + '.MP4'] = nName + '.MP4'; return nName; } else { return names[item.name]; } I wrote a script above for rename my sony camcorder video files. [original] C0001.MP4 C0001.MP4.modd C0001.MP4.moff [new] 20200415_120024.MP4 20200415_120024.MP4.modd 20200415_120024.MP4.moff It should work like this. But app.Parsetags function won't work well. It cannot load the video date tags. |

Hi All
Trying to think my way through this. I have many directories all with SXX where XX is an increment number. I want the episodes in those directories to be numbered incrementally ad with the XX part in the file name. Obvs I also need the increment to restart when directory is changed. Cant seem to think my way through this atm. Any ideas? Currently I do three 'Replace' Text to be replaced: ^\d. Replace with:<DirName>__ Text to be replaced: ^\d\d. Replace with:<DirName>__ Text to be replaced: (S\d\d*) (.*)__(.*) Replace with:\1E<Inc Nr:1> \3 That still leaves me with the problem of resetting that inc nr when the directory changes... |

Hi there.
I have files with names always with YEAR, MONTH, HOUR, MIN, SEC. But for YEAR, it only has two digits, erros is shown when changing timestamp following such filename pattern. Filename is "200420182442.mp4" Actual date is 2020.04.20 18.24.42 Timestamp I used: Pattern: <Year><Month><Day><Hour><Min><Sec> But system showed: Invalid timestamp: '2004/20/18 24:4:2.0' How can I tell the system that the first two digits "20" represents "2020"? Any suggestion, please? Thank you and appreciated for your help. Erick |

I have a recurring situation where I need to rename the same image file with 20 different (but similar names). Is there a way to copy and rename the same file multiple times all at once?
example: the file is named 'xx-ae-9a' I want to create 20 variations of this file replacing the 'xx' with different values (that correspond to milestone birthdays) so: 18-ae-9a 21-ae-9a 30-ae-9a 40-ae-9a etc for 50, 60, 65, 70, 75 etc So I guess I'm asking if there's a way to multiple the same file and output it with different names in one batch. Thanks Matt |

Hi , i saw a previoius form post on this, and wondered if it had been added as a feature - or if there is a workaround without using scripting? https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=3208
I want to use <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> to rename my files and then sort them into directories based on Yr/Mon, but a lot of my 20,000 images dont have this data populated. In this case my best alternative would be DateModified, but i dont know how to easily set this up? Looked like Ken had the idea how to do this, but not yet implemented? Thanks for any advice - J |

Hi all,
I've been trying to see if AREN can accomplish a task and I have hit a wall. What I want to do is this: original filename: filename (2011) (misc text).ext to change to..... renamed file: (2011) filename (misc text).ext So, if it is possible, how do I move the date "(2011)" from the middle of the filename to the beginning? The list of files has a different/varying number of characters before or after the date, so I can't just use the move command, and many of the files have more than one set of text or numbers within parenthesis, so I can't just swap using a separator. If I replace a parenthesis with a different character, they all change and I am back where I started. I am struggling with the use of metacharacters and I don't know what i need to type in the pattern field. |

feature request
EDIT - This is a duplicate post - (I thought it did not post), david answers same question here. I add a second question about Move without Rename. https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=10910 When CSV list is imported Col3 in the window is always the user preset Move To folder (same for all files in this CSV) Could you add a third column in the CSV to allow user to specify the location of the new folder (per file)? ie after rename, move single file to folder specified in the CSV. |

the functionality of the software has perfect for what I need, so THANK YOU for that.
first, how do you create a number list? If I selected 10 files and file 1 has 01 added to the beginning and the tenth file as 10 added to the beginning. I was wondering if there has been any consideration of changing the gui to a simplified/modern feel to it or if there is any consideration of porting it to a Linux/Debian OS. Thanks |

On the Rename files tab, when I press Add/folders I get an error message: "Access violation at address 0040B94F in module 'ARen.exe'. Read of address 00000014. Is there a solution to this? I am running on Windows 10. |

in ascending order.
I love your program, should have known someone would come up with this great tool ;) I am trying it out and have files numbered 19 through 24 but will all sorts of junk I don't need in the name. I add the files, put in the name (but just the first which would be 19). After that I click on Add Method but I can't get the filename to be anything but 19 for all files. I just want them to be 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24. Could someone show me how to do this? I found a couple of posts on renaming files, with perfect answers for the 2 people that knew/understood the code. So I need someone to put it in simpler terms for me til I get the hang of the program. Thanks in advance for anyone that might be able to help me. |

Hi
When using CSV import the path is determined for all files by the "Base folder for original files" box on the CSV Import window. That same path is transferred to the Rename Files tab - for every fiile. Would it be possible to allow users to add a thrird field in the CSV so they can specify a path to not only rename the files but copy or move them (after rename) to a differnet folder? Thanks ColinK PS Fairly sure I posted this a few days ago but my profile is showing no posts - maybe I did nto post correctly. |

If I try to open a CSV import file that is already open in Excel, I get a warning - that's fine. I do this often.
However when I close in Excel and re- select via the Import window the files do not populate in the window. I need to close the app, re-open and select the file again Thanks ColinK Great App! |

Hello, I have several files with different length names, I need to delete the last word in everyone
original: Friends - Geller Monica Parks and Rec - Knope Leslie Community - Perry Britta (if it helps, it's always: 1, 2 or 3 words - 2 words) renamed: Friends - Geller Parks and Rec - Knope Community - Perry (1, 2 or 3 words - 1 word) is it possible? I quite don't understand the user's guide because I'm not so good at English |

Hello,
I was looking to have the pictures of my baby along with their age in the filename. Some people on the forum was looking for this, but could not find any script here. I thought it could be useful for the community. Just indicate the name of your kid along with his birth date at the bottom of the script and your good to go. Example: https://ibb.co/rbWj1yj Just copy paste the following snippet in the script method function ageDifference(dateString, datePicture) { var dob = new Date(dateString) var datePic = new Date(datePicture); if(datePic < dob) { var tmp = datePic datePic = dob dob = tmp } var datePicYear = datePic.getYear(); var datePicMonth = datePic.getMonth(); var datePicDay = datePic.getDate(); var yearDob = dob.getYear(); var monthDob = dob.getMonth(); var dateDob = dob.getDate(); var age = {}; var ageString = ""; var yearString = ""; var monthString = ""; var dayString = ""; yearAge = datePicYear - yearDob; if (datePicMonth >= monthDob) var monthAge = datePicMonth - monthDob; else { yearAge--; var monthAge = 12 + datePicMonth -monthDob; } if (datePicDay >= dateDob) var dateAge = datePicDay - dateDob; else { monthAge--; var dateAge = 31 + datePicDay - dateDob; if (monthAge < 0) { monthAge = 11; yearAge--; } } age = { years: yearAge, months: monthAge, days: dateAge }; if ( age.years > 1 ) yearString = " years"; else yearString = " year"; if ( age.months> 1 ) monthString = " months"; else monthString = " month"; if ( age.days > 1 ) dayString = " days"; else dayString = " day"; return age.years + yearString + " - " + age.months + monthString + " - " + age.days + dayString; } function isValidDate(dateString) { // First check for the pattern if(!/^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/.test(dateString)) return false; // Parse the date parts to integers var parts = dateString.split("/"); var day = parseInt(parts[1], 10); var month = parseInt(parts[0], 10); var year = parseInt(parts[2], 10); // Check the ranges of month and year if(year < 1000 || year > 3000 || month == 0 || month > 12) return false; var monthLength = [ 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 ]; // Adjust for leap years if(year % 400 == 0 || (year % 100 != 0 && year % 4 == 0)) monthLength[1] = 29; // Check the range of the day return day > 0 && day <= monthLength[month - 1]; } var dateTimeOriginal = ( item.exifToolValue('DateTimeOriginal') == '' ) ? item.exifToolValue('ModifyDate') : item.exifToolValue('DateTimeOriginal') var y_original = dateTimeOriginal.substring(0,4) var m_original = dateTimeOriginal.substring(5,7) var d_original = dateTimeOriginal.substring(8,10) var datePicture = m_original + '/' + d_original + '/' + y_original var firstName = 'Oliver' var birthDate = '10/21/2016' var ageString = isValidDate(datePicture) ? ageDifference(birthDate, datePicture) : 'Unknown Age' return firstName + ' - ' + ageString + ' - ' + item.newBasename; |

Hi ,
I have different image files currently in different folders that have the exact same name and extension but that actually different pictures. My goal is to copy them to the output folder and add date tags to their names so they can become distinct files in the output folder. I would like to be able do that without changing their names in the original folders. To do that, I performed the following steps: 1-Searched these files across the original folders so I could see them in a single window 2-Dragged them to Advanced Renamer software 3-Configured the renaming method (add date tags), the batch mode (copy), and the output folder 4-Pressed 'start batch' button Apparently it didn't work because it can't copy & rename files that had similar names to start with (error 109)... Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Thanks ! |

I can remove and add them later by <Video Height> tag. When i try to remove unnecessary digits, also the necessary ones removes. Ist it possible to make a rule for this. Thanks and sorry for bad english. |

Hi,
Suppose I want to back-up jpg files from different folders into a single output folder and rename them. Suppose some of these files from the different folders are exactly the same (name, extension, content, etc.). Is there a way to filter duplicate files from different folders out before copying and renaming them to the single output folder? Thanks ! |

I have a filesystem with images, that after the renaming, end up like so:
cat.jpg cat.jpg dog.jpg dog.jpg dog with toy.jpg dog with toy.jpg I know name collision rules exist, but they would number ALL of the files with collision with a single numbering system. What I'm looking for is for the filesystem to number each "pattern" with it's own numbering, like so: cat 1.jpg cat 2.jpg dog 1.jpg dog 2.jpg dog with toy 1.jpg dog with toy 2.jpg Is that possible? |

Good day:
I am interested in this solution from the forum: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=5990 I have some 30,000 files after a system data recover. There are many duplicate filenames across many folders. I wish to rename the files by prefixing a unique ID 5 digit number to each; starting with 10000 so that all the numbers are the same length without leading zero. I wish to separate the ID from the original filename with a single space. Thanks in advance for your help. |

I have imported a list of files as CSV file. I have the CSV Import window open and everything looks great.
However, when I Import to the rename window, some of the New Filenames change!? With some of them, the extension has changed, with some the entire name is different. This is very frustrating as I have a list of 16,000 files that need renaming. Please can someone help me ASAP as I'm on a tight deadline? Thanks so much in advance. |

I'm sorry if that title is confusing, i couldn't think of a better way to word it!
My situation is as follows... I have about 900 folders of clients, all named with a similar naming convention "Smith J 123456" and "Billy N 987654" Inside each folder is a list of 11 other folders CarePlan ContractLegal Corresp DP Provider EdEmpTr Finance ManInfo Psych RefAss RepRev Therapy And each document is named as such 20 05 22 DPEmail 19 04 21 DPAudit etc... I was wondering, when using the "Batch mode: Move" function to move, say, all DPEmail documents into the Corresp folder, within each client's folder? Any help would be great! Thank you very much. |

I have more than 4000 photos of plants to rename that are inside a folder according to the plant code, example: bp0600-0699 / bp0700-0799 and so on ... The mess was big ... so first I left the most standardized possible ... Now inside each folder I already have the plants separated by code, but the names are not yet well standardized, because a plant has up to 12 photos of them. For you to understand, inside the BP0600-699 folder I have the files with the names below, and there are still more than 700 images in the same name style.
bp602-Crown-Prince-01.jpg bp602-Crown-Prince-02-XXX4.jpg bp602-Crown-Prince-02.jpg bp602-Crown-Prince-03-XXX4-XXX4.jpg bp602-CROWN-PRINCE-03.jpg bp602-CROWN-PRINCE-04-XXX2.jpeg bp603-Citrine-01.jpg bp603-Citrine-02-XXX4.jpg bp603-Citrine-02.jpg bp603-Citrine-03-XXX4.jpg bp603-Citrine-03.jpg bp603-Citrine-04.jpg bp603-Citrine-05.jpg And I would like to know if you have any way of organizing numerically, and organizing other things, put the first letter of each word in uppercase and the rest in minuscule, commanding the name, removing the XXX4 or XXX2 and creating a numeric string before the extension, without skipping numbers. Like the example below. bp602-Crown-Prince.jpg bp602-Crown-Prince-01.jpg bp602-Crown-Prince-02.jpg bp602-Crown-Prince-03.jpg bp602-Crown-Prince-04.jpg bp602-Crown-Prince-05.jpg bp603-Citrine-01.jpg bp603-Citrine-02.jpg bp603-Citrine-03.jpg bp603-Citrine-04.jpg bp603-Citrine-06.jpg bp603-Citrine-07.jpg bp603-Citrine-08.jpg I know there will be several stages, but whatever you can help me with, I will be forever grateful . Thank you! |

Hello,
I have a folder of files which need to be translated. All files share 4 words in their file name that should be translated from french to english. They also contain other words but they should be left alone. I use - as separator. So, I have set a csv file with column 1 (english) and column 2 (french) I have 4 lines in this csv file to translate the 4 words. English to french : Word 1 -> Mot 1 Word 2 -> Mot 2 Word 3 -> Mot 3 Word 4 -> Mot 4 Total of files in my folder is 10. They all have the 4 words that need to be translated in their file names When I use the replace method with <Csv:1> and <Csv:2>, this is what happens : First file in the list has word 1 replaced to the french translation (Mot 1) Second file in the list has word 2 replaced to the french translation (Mot 2) Second file in the list has word 3 replaced to the french translation (Mot 3) Second file in the list has word 4 replaced to the french translation (Mot 4) BUT all the other words remain unchanged, they do not get replaced, also, after the 4th file, no other file gets replaced... So for example, this results with this Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg -> Mot1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg -> Word1-Mot2-Word3-Word4.jpg Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg -> Word1-Word2-Mot3-Word4.jpg Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg -> Word1-Word2-Word3-Mot4.jpg From the 4th file, all other files remain unchanged... until the 10th file (total file in the folder) Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg Word1-Word2-Word3-Word4.jpg How can I make Advanced Renamer replace all occurences ? It seems like it scans the csv line by line and do not process the whole list to replace everything at the same time! Any advice or fix? Note: I can't use pattern replace because words are actually shuffled randomly in file names and same behavior with "list replace" method Thank you for reading me! |

Hi, I have to rename a lot of folders with 1 file inside them to the name of the file.
Example: from this: folder1/file01.txt folder2/file02.txt folder3/file03.txt to: file01/file01.txt file02/file02.txt file03/file03.txt I hope this is enough information, I'm having a little bit of trouble putting it into words Thanks |

All episode are written (Show name).SxxExx
I want to take everything before the .s and make a folder with the name of everything before the .s and store the file name unchanged in that folder Example Billions.S05E03.720p.WEB.H264-OATH to Billions\Billions.S05E03.720p.WEB.H264-OATH |

Hello
I just used AdvancedRenamer and i need to rename hour format in the part of the filename from UTC to GMT+7 For example : 1. Audio_meeting(1)_92345136_837462537844_2020-03-19_03-15-55.wav become Audio_meeting(1)_92345136_837462537844_2020-03-19_10-15-55.wav --> Changing hour from 03 (UTC format) to 10 (GMT+7 format) 2. Video_meeting(2)_92345188_837465457844_2020-03-19_04-15-55.wav become Video_meeting(2)_92345188_837465457844_2020-03-19_11-15-55.wav --> Changing hour from 04 (UTC format) to 11 (GMT+7 format) Thanks |

Hello All,
I find myself changing files to lower case all the time, so I'd like to add a context menu option to do it automatically. To do that, I only need the right command-line command, but the information about using arenc.exe from command line is very scarce. I found a couple examples where an .aren file is invoked, but I have no idea how to create that. I tried the Command Line Configuration tool included in Advanced Renamer, but it has way too many options and I can't find anywhere how to change case. Can you help? Thanks! |

Literally the only internet I have is on my iPhone, so I get old hard drives people give me and I salvage the downloaded movies and/or TV shows if there are any. I have a Raspberry Pi with Kodi and LibreElec on it as my media centre.
I am trying to rename files according the the recommended convention so Kodi can read them. Some files are fine, but then, I'll find I am missing seasons or episodes and when I look into it, they are not named correctly. So for example, the name would be series.name.s01.e01.mp4 I will rename 1 season at a time, so all I want is the episodes to be numbered 01, 02, 03 etc. however Advanced renamer is only adding (1), (2), (3) etc and not actually changing the rest of the filename. Any help would be awesome! Thanks |

If you have any zero byte files in the group that you are trying to rename, Advanced Renamer will hang during the Analyzing Files phase. At that point, the only thing you can do is terminate the application.
If there are zero byte files, these should be skipped during the import process. This was REALLY frustrating me up until I discovered what was causing the problem. Now, I manually check for any zero byte files before I try to add to AR. |

I've been using Advanced Renamer for some time. Only recently has this become an issue, but I can't figure out the pattern of why.
Some folders I Highlight and click "Add Selected" have begun to do absolutely nothing. The "Add Folder" options box pops up, the radio button for "Add the files in the folders" is selected, I click "OK" and that's it, no response, no error....not sure what if anything has happened. But this issue is inconsistent. Some folders add files and operate completely as expected. Are there any bugs of others experiencing the same? Or any ideas why this could possibly be happening? Thanks, -Mark |

Good morning,
I am new to the forum and have "lurked" and searched for similar problems and solutions but to no avail. Could anyone help me with the scenario below? I am trying to rename a file by searching for (variable) text within the filename, and moving that text to the end of the filename. Original: @@Company Name and WDC some changing text@Lease@Correspondance@01011990@[email protected] New:@@Company Name and WDC@Lease@Correspondance@01011990@16071990@04062020@ some changing text.pdf I'm thinking a regex to select all text after "WDC" but before the next "@" symbol, which I want to move to the end of the filename. I think I have the regex sorted: (?<=WDC)(.*?)(?=@) But I can't seem to get it to operate in ADREN - mostly because I don't know what I'm doing. If anyone could offer some advice on this it would be very much appreciated. Regards, |

example: cleaning up a fileserver prior to a Dropbox migration
I understand how to cut the filenames down using this code: To truncate a filename you can use the Remove method and configure it like this: Remove count: 100000 Starting at: 75 Apply to: Name How do I scan a folder and all subs and then cut the names down to say 200 character pathname? In this scenario there are a bunch of nested folders to get to the 200 and not necessarily the filename at the end. Tough because sometimes the folder is descriptive for the file, but for the sake of this argument. I want to pull in all folders and subs and limit the nested folder limit to say 15 characters all along the path. Cleaning the long filenames prior will get a lot under the 200 limit, but not all. Appreciate any and all help. Want to test that this software will do what is needed and will then buy the proper license. Thanks in advance! Jeff |

I have a folder full of files with code names like this:
PBPX-95506 PBPX-95507 PBPX-95508 I also have an excel sheet with the keys next to the names they are supposed to be. So column A is the codes names and column B has the correct names. So it looks like: Column A: Column B: PBPX-95506 - ExampleName1 PBPX-95507 - ExampleName2 PBPX-95508 - ExampleName3 I want to convert files to the correct names from Column B. |

Here is what my CSV looks like: https://gyazo.com/3af8193abb46434117535db4a130cd 6c
Here is what AdvancedRenamer shows on import: https://gyazo.com/73547a420c547ec7f02e14e4c38c4a 08 But when I hit import it renames the wrong files. https://gyazo.com/eb86a2a4ce22c8920d12d07420248a 82 It looks like it isn't actually matching file names based on Column A and B but just going down the list and renaming ones that don't match. There are several files that don't have any new name listed on the CSV, so instead of skipping them it renames them to the next available value in the csv. I would like the option for the behavior to be actually matching names based on the .csv instead of renaming the wrong ones. |

Hi, I love this software!
I have been using it to snuff out inconsistencies in my home video catalog about about 6,300 clips (I think I am compensating for having a grand total of 17 photos about seven minutes of video from when I was a kid). I want to be able to update the created date to match the date and time the file was actually created, not when it was copied over to the disk, rename the file if necessary to match the creation date and time, and, as necessary, move the file to a new directory based on the new creation date. When I try to use the move batch function, it uses the old creation date, so I have to handle the files in two passes. Is there are way to accomplish all of this in one pass? Thanks in advance! |

Hi
I'm experimenting with using the tool to rename photos that have very varied filenames to commonise them and sort by date. I've had to write a script to do this so that EXIF dates are used in the new filename where present, and file modified used otherwise. I've got it working and run it successfully on folders with over 2000 images, but I was occasionally getting errors such as "Access violation at address 7A41F7B5 in module 'js32.dll', Read of address 08EDEEFFC". Sometimes, if I restarted the program and ran again, it worked. Sometimes, I had to ensure the script was disabled when adding the folder to the list then enable the script and it would work. However, I've now come across a folder that only contains 179 jpegs that the tool persistently fails with. I've tried updating Java but it hasn't helped. The only thing that worked with this folder is to add files to the list in small batches of ~30 images, which is quite time consuming. Any idea what the cause is? This persistent problem is only with images from 2010 and before. Is this a tool problem or something I've introduced with my script? The script won't be best coding practice, but is functional (see below). I'd really like to make this work well and support the development so I can continue using this tool as the potential is great (it's so flexible). Best regards Phil var origname = item.newBasename; var crdate = item.exifToolValue('CreateDate'); // Extract EXIF date created (taken) if present var moddate = item.modifiedDate; // Extract File modified date as backup if there is no EXIF date taken //item.imgDate //item.newModifiedDate //item.videoExists //item.videoDate var lgth = moddate.length; var datetime = "undefined "; var datelabel = "undefined"; var yr = '2050'; var mth = '12'; var dy = '25'; var hr = '12'; var min = '00'; var sec = '00'; var date = '2050-12-25'; var time = '12h00m00'; var datetime = '2050-12-25 12h00m00 '; var datepresent = 0; var separatorpresent = 0; var chartoremove = 0; if (crdate.length === 0) // EXIF create date not present { datelabel = "mod date "; yr = moddate.getFullYear(); mth = moddate.getMonth() + 1; // Add 1 as month format is 0-11 for Jan to Dec if (mth<= 9){mth = "0" + mth;} // Convert month to 2 digit format dy = moddate.getDate(); if (dy<=9){dy = "0" + dy;} // Convert date to 2 digit format hr = moddate.getHours(); if (hr <=9){hr = "0" + hr;} // Convert hour to 2 digit format min = moddate.getMinutes(); if (min <=9){min = "0" + min;} // Convert minutes to 2 digit format sec = moddate.getSeconds(); if (sec <=9){sec = "0" + sec;} // Convert seconds to 2 digit format date = yr + '-' + mth + '-' + dy; time = hr + 'h' + min + 'm' + sec; datetime = date + ' ' + time + ' '; } else if (moddate.length !=0) // File modified date is present { datelabel = "cre date " yr = crdate.charAt(0) + crdate.charAt(1) + crdate.charAt(2) + crdate.charAt(3); mth = crdate.charAt(5) + crdate.charAt(6); dy = crdate.charAt(8) + crdate.charAt(9); hr = crdate.charAt(11) + crdate.charAt(12); min = crdate.charAt(14) + crdate.charAt(15); sec = crdate.charAt(17) + crdate.charAt(18); date = yr + '-' + mth + '-' + dy; time = hr + 'h' + min + 'm' + sec; datetime = date + ' ' + time + ' '; } else { datetime = '2050-12-25 12h00m00 '; } // Remove date pre-fix from original filename if present if (origname.length >=3) { if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2011') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2012') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2013') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2014') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2015') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2016') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2017') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2018') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2019') {datepresent = 1;} else if ((origname.charAt(0) + origname.charAt(1) + origname.charAt(2) + origname.charAt(3)) === '2020') {datepresent = 1;} else {datepresent = 0; } } // If a date is present, check if there are separators e.g. 2016-18-06 if (datepresent === 1) { if (origname.charAt(4) === '-') {separatorpresent = 1;} else if (origname.charAt(4) === '_') {separatorpresent = 1;} else if (origname.charAt(4) === ' ') {separatorpresent = 1;} else {separatorpresent = 0; } } //If a date is present with separators, remove 10 characters if ((datepresent === 1) && separatorpresent === 1 && origname.length >= 11) {chartoremove = 11; origname = origname.slice(11); } // If a date is present without separators, remove 8 characters if ((datepresent === 1) && separatorpresent === 0 && origname.length >= 9) {chartoremove = 9; origname = origname.slice(9); } return datetime + origname; |

I'm trying to move images to subfolders based on their filename.
The images are currently stored in the folder "trips". Example: trip-to-malaga-2017-001 trip-to-malaga-2017-002 trip-to-malaga-2017-003 Must be moved to: trips/trip-to-malaga-2017 trip-to-italy-2017-001 trip-to-italy-2017-002 trip-to-italy-2017-003 Must be moved to: trips/trip-to-italy-2017 So, I must remove the last hyphen plus the digits from the filename, but how? |

Am I missing where this option might exist? All my images are being renamed based on a 12-hour clock, but I would prefer to use what we call here in the states, "military time" which is the 24-hour clock. Is there a way to change the 12-hour default to be the 24-hour format? I feel this would my file names cleaner and easier to sort. Thanks.

Hi!
I need to rename a loooot of files. I have a list in excel with the current file names and those I want to change them into in two separate columns. Is there any way I can use the list exchange function with the excel sheet? Or do I have to copy all the names separately? Thanks a lot in advance! |

Dear all,
last year (in november) I asked for file renaming and got answers from 'David Lee'. Now I lost all my *.aren-files and try to build them new. The filename 'Emmy Werner & Daniel Wisser _ E411' should turn to 'E411 - Emmy Werner & Daniel Wisser'. As David stated I tried the following, but it doesn't work properly: Use the Replace method... Text to be replaced: (.*) (.*)$ Replace with: \2 - \1 Use regular expressions: √ What am I doing wrong? Kind regards Kurt |

Hello,
I would like to rename a lot of video-clips (avi) using the origin recording date as filename. The problem is, that the original recording date is not available in the meta-data of the avi-file, but there exists a second file to each avi-file that contains the recording date. How can I rename all clips the the original recording date using the Advance Renamer-Tool? Example: I have the following files in one folder: clip01.avi clip01.avi.modd clip02.avi clip02.avi.modd clip03.avi clip03.avi.modd ... The modd-files contain the recording date as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <plist version="1.0"><dict><key>MetaDataList</key><array><dict><key>DateTimeOriginal</key><real>41423,259016203701000</real></dict></array><key>XMLFileType</key><string>ModdXML</string></dict></plist> The recording-timestamp in this file is: 41423,259016203701000 Which is the decimal value for 29.05.2013 06:12:59 Therefore I would like to rename the clip01.avi to 2013-05-29_06-12-59 ...and all other clips to the according name.... Is this possible anyhow ? Thank you very much for your help! |

Hi all,
I'm trying to insert the date picture taken in front of an .HEIC filename on Windows. I'm using: ADD <Img Year>-<Img Month:00>-<Img Day> (at index 1) But nothing is inserted. This script works for .jpg files. Windows File Explorer shows a valid "date taken" in file <Properties+Details>. Am I missing something, or is this feature not supported for .HEIC? Thanks, Harold of Boston |

I am trying to process a batch of filenames that are longer than the maximum path length allowed by Windows (256 chars, I think??) to shorten the length of the filename. Problem is, when I try to import them into ARen, they error out, presumably because of the path length.
Is there a change that can be made either in ARen or in Windows that could get around that problem? Thanks for the help! --Jim |

Hi, please, I need to change the name of the files, based on the name of the folder in which they are located + numbering, but if the two files have the same name but a different extension, the program names them the same. I need the numbering to continue even if the extension is different.
I use the method New name: <DirName: 1>-<Inc NrDir: 01> thank you |

In the past I always used image tags as follows:
<Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day>_<Img Hour><Img Min> And this gave me file names like: 2020-06-24_1714.dng I would append the files with a number to prevent collisions. Today I opened AR and this tag structure no longer works. I can't read anything from the image tags. I don't think I changed anything as far as settings. Any ideas? |

I want to move and rename my media from diffent cameras and camcorders
I created an *.AREN-file to rename my images. is it possible to define an selected path where to include the images and movies. If i doubleclick an aren-file the AdvancedRenamer opens and the renaming works fine. But i must everytime manually add the my files from F:\DCIM\ or G:\DCIM My dream ist that after doubleclicking i have following things done: Added all Files of F:\DCIM\???Media.\ F:\DCIM\PANORAMA\PANO???.\ and G:\DCIM\ with have follwing extensions: *.CR2 *.NEF *.DNG *.MP4 *.JPG My script checks the camera-Type with exif-tool and the extensions an creates the new path an the name of every image. So my wife can plug in the sd-card or cf-card of her devices and all files are moved and renamed automatically to the right folder structure with the right name and extension. And she must do nothing else than doubleclick the aren-file and press OK to start moving the images and movies to the holiday notebook and synchronising the files to my cloud. |

Hello all! I have a huge list of photographs I need to rename, and I have found the following problem:
The original files are named like this: name001.tif name002.tif name003.tif name003_2.tif name004.tif ...and so on. the "_2" at the end of the "003" file, means that this photo is the back part of the original photo (003). So, I need the app to repeat the previous filename only in the cases where a "_2" is present at the end of the name, and then continue with the natural order. Is this possible? I've been trying to do it all day with no results. I hope this made sense! Thanks in advance |

Hello, I'm a beginner with the program, I've read that knowing regex can make the use of the program more powerful. However so far I got overwhelmed by all the info about regex and could not find any clue to perform my renaming, could you please give me a hand:
This is an example of the pattern of files I'm working with: #{Tuesday} - 18.01.03 - morning ~36min57sec~.txt This is what I want to do or rename in batch: #{Tuesday} - [Morning] - 18.01.03~36min57sec~.txt |

I have discovered a possible bug in Advanced Renamer involving long folder/file names.
If AR is being used to rename files that are many levels deep within a folder structure, Auto Test may show there will be no errors if the batch is run and so AR reports "OK" in the Error column. However, when the batch is actually run, it can happen that errors do occur for some files that AR "failed to find in the expected location." It seems this error occurs if the combined number of characters in the file name plus the file's parent folder names exceeds some limit (which may be 256 characters, but I haven't actually counted). To remedy the error, I have to undo the batch and then shorten the folder/file names for those files that could not be found. AR's failure to find a file with too many characters in its folder/file name structure is probably due to a Windows limitation, and not a fault of AR itself. But it seems Auto Test not checking for this limitation, resulting in Auto Test reporting OK when, in fact, errors will occur. It would be very helpful, and a great time saver, if Auto Test was modified to detect and report the too many characters error so the problem can be corrected before the batch fails. |

Hi
I have tens of thousands of photos that I'm trying to organise and remove duplicates from. The duplicates side I have covered (using Directory Opus) but I'm using Advanced Renamer for the renaming because I'm using the EXIF data for the file and folder construction. Advanced Renamer has been awesome except for one issue - number of files. Outside of the processing time (and not knowing if the program REALLY isn't responding anymore) the issue I have is with the name collision rule. Originally I was using the increment number in a script, but because I'm now having to process in smaller batches due to the large number of files this isn't the best increment method as it has no idea about the previously named batches. I thought the Name Collision Rule option would be the answer, but it also seems to only increment for files within the currently processed batch. AR knows there is a file with the same name on disk, is there a way for the name collision rule to keep incrementing until it no longer collides with the file on disk? Cheers Matt |

Is this possible with the personal version?
I kind of remember seeing this on setup, but I selected the default location thinking I could change the location post-installation. I don't see the option to change it in settings, so I was just wondering if there's a way to change this. |

It'd be nice if tooltips (throughout the app and settings) provided some inline indication of what certain things do so users don't have to constantly refer back to what things do.
At the very least (if possible) a link to the section in the user guide. |

Does anyone know how to create a lookup? I have a Excel sheet where column 1 has a file name and column 2 has what the updated file name needs to be changed to.
Alternatively, column 2 has the file name of column 1 plus additional file name. Meaning, a partial match on the beginning of the file name would also work. |

When renaming episodes, I have been finding more and more errors with the naming of episodes for TV shows. MazeTV seems to not be updated as often as other sites and I am finding some recent episodes of shows (if not mainstream) usually dont have an entry, or an incomplete entry, in the place.
TVDB is updated, they have recently (end of 2019) did a HUGE revamp of their website, made it more interactive and increased the number of shows in the database. When I have to rename shows manually because MazeYV has stuffed up I find the TVDB is spot on. They also have an API that can be used too. - https://www.thetvdb.com/api-information Just a suggestion.

I have been using this piece of software for years now. When it become available, I didn't hesitate to use the paid version.
However, during my use of it when it came to analyzing files it become slower. Maybe because file sizes grew as time passed or something else. My problem is all my files are on NAS with gigabit connection. They are all zip files with no metadata. If I add like thousand files to AR it takes forever to analyze these. Most of the times it becomes unresponsive and crash. What is the point of analyzing these I don't get though. They are all zip files. I looked for a way to disable analyzing but couldn't find a way. If there is any solution, please help. Please, put an option to disable analyzing all together or for some custom file types. |

What I'm doing seems pretty straightforward but I don't see an automated way to do it:
After downloading a few thousand images and videos from iCloud, I want to import them to my Win10 PC, but the PC uses the file attribute: Created Date -the date I downloaded them- instead of the EXIF info "<ExifTool:CreateDate>". So How do I change that? I found someone who used "<ExifTool:CreateDate>" to rename their file but I can't figure out how to modify that to change a file's Created Date. This was the post I found: {Sharing my video renaming script using the MediaCreateDate tag https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=3473} |

I have several method lists, some with over 40 steps. Editing these is a pain because i have to go through each step to find out what they do. It would be incredibly beneficial to be able to add a name to each step such as "Trim first 5 characters" etc.
Currently if I have 10 steps each called replace, I have to click on each one to find out what specifically it replaces. I understand you want to keep the interface minimal, but this feature would have no impact on users who dont use this feature. Thanks |

I have a .csv file with a bunch of names (no file extension). I have a folder with a lot of files with the same names, but also other files without any names listed in the .csv
The goal is to only keep the matches and delete the rest (or at least put them in their own folder to delete myself). How would I do this in Advanced Renamer? |

Hi
Here is a same question: https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/forum/viewto pic.php?f=4&t=5065 The problem was solved but I wanted to share so maybe the developer of Advanced Renamer takes it into consideration. Advanced Renamer supports many tags. But is it able to sum them as numbers under the folders? Thanks for support, best regards. |

In order to rename folders that are numerous, I imported the csv file. However, the program automatically added the "," after the original filname column and in front of the New filename column. For example:
original filname: 198990, New filename: ,79098 Please instruct me how to remove that comma. Thank you. |

Hi,
I probably missed something. Okay. I have files with leading 3 digit numbers (001,002, ... 999). I want to remove the leading numbers - tried some different replacement/remove combinations but nothing seems to work PROPERLY. Any thoughts? Thanks! |

Hello,
I am looking for a script that can randomize a string of words to add to the file name. In a previous forum thread I found this script: var colors = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "Cyan", "Yellow", "Purple"]; return colors[Math.floor((Math.random() * colors.length))]; This works great, except it only outputs one of the colors. This script can output the entire randomized string in a Javascript console, but I dont know how to adapt it to Advanced Renamer: const shuffle = array => array.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5).toString() const colors = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "Cyan", "Yellow", "Purple"]; console.log(shuffle( colors )) How can the scripts be adapted to work? |

There are not many tools that can read and write mkv video file properties, non with a GUI and batch capabilities. It would be nice if Advanced Renamer could call mkvpropedit much in the same way it does with ExifTool. Could this be done?

Meta tags are not stored in Whatsapp images.
The images themselves are labeled with the time of recording. In the form: IMG-20190808-WA0001 How can I extract the 20190808 with advance renamer and save it into the image as the date it was taken. If the description would be IMG-2019-08-08-WA0001, Advance renamer would recognize it and write it into the date of capture using the timestamp method. But if the numbers are without hyphen, this is not possible. I have about 10000 such images. Does anyone have a wordaround for this? thx |

I want to update the file's timestamp according to it's name, but some parts of the date might be missing so I can't use the Timestamp method.
Sample file names with expected timestamp: FileWithNoDate.txt (Leave current date) 2019 YearOnly.txt (2019-12-31) 2019-03 YearAndMonth.txt (2019-03-31) 2019-03-26 FullDate.txt (2019-03-26) So I made this script : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - //Current date & time var d = new Date(); //Extract date info from filename var data = item.filename.match(/^(\d{4})?(?:-(\d{2}))?(?:-(\d{2}))?/); //No year, leave file as is if (data[1] === undefined) { return; } //No month, we set timestamp to Dec 31st if (data[2] === undefined) { d.setFullYear(data[1], 11, 31); //No day, we set it to the last day of the month } else if (data[3] === undefined) { //Month is zero-based, so for example, July is 6 //We set to day 0 of month, so it's day 0 of month 7 (that's day 0 of August, ie July 31st) d.setFullYear(data[1], data[2], 0); //Full date is present, we use that } else { // -1 because month is zero-based d.setFullYear(data[1], data[2]-1, data[3]); } //We set all dates item.newCreatedDate = d; item.newModifiedDate = d; item.newAccessedDate = d; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - But the file's dates are not updated. What am I missing? |

Hi all,
I recently created an export of my photos and videos from Google photos using Google Takeout. This gives you all your files plus corresponding JSON files that contain the metadata for each file (e.g MOV_1362.mp4 has MOV_1362.mp4.json) I've managed to rename all of my photos fine using the "image taken date" for most of my images and exiftool for the rest where it couldn't find one. However, most of the videos exported have incorrect dates for any date field in their metadata, but the correct date in the corresponding JSON file. I'm trying to format using the "photoTakenTime>formatted" field in this JSON: { "title": "MOV_1362.mp4", "description": "", "imageViews": "0", "creationTime": { "timestamp": "1478218974", "formatted": "4 Nov 2016, 00:22:54 UTC" }, "modificationTime": { "timestamp": "1587854541", "formatted": "25 Apr 2020, 22:42:21 UTC" }, "geoData": { "latitude": ####, "longitude": ####, "altitude": 0.0, "latitudeSpan": 0.0, "longitudeSpan": 0.0 }, "geoDataExif": { "latitude": ####, "longitude": ####, "altitude": 0.0, "latitudeSpan": 0.0, "longitudeSpan": 0.0 }, "photoTakenTime": { "timestamp": "1478212929", "formatted": "3 Nov 2016, 22:42:09 UTC" } } I can only find one forum post about formatting from JSON here but struggled to make it work: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=10804 I've got two problems: 1. If I use some simple json, I can get an element fine, like this: var obj = JSON.parse('{"first_name" : "Sammy", "last_name" : "Shark", "location" : "Ocean"}'); newName = obj.first_name return newName; That returns "Sammy" as the filename fine. If I replace it with the full json from earlier, it doesn't seem to parse (line 0: Syntax error): var obj = JSON.parse('{ "title": "MOV_1362.mp4", "description": "", "imageViews": "0", "creationTime": { "timestamp": "1478218974", "formatted": "4 Nov 2016, 00:22:54 UTC" }, "modificationTime": { "timestamp": "1587854541", "formatted": "25 Apr 2020, 22:42:21 UTC" }, "geoData": { "latitude": ####, "longitude": ####, "altitude": 0.0, "latitudeSpan": 0.0, "longitudeSpan": 0.0 }, "geoDataExif": { "latitude": ####, "longitude": ####, "altitude": 0.0, "latitudeSpan": 0.0, "longitudeSpan": 0.0 }, "photoTakenTime": { "timestamp": "1478212929", "formatted": "3 Nov 2016, 22:42:09 UTC" } }'); newName = obj.title return newName; 2. I'd need to read each json file rather than pasting it in. If I search online how to do this, I get all sorts of answers: - "For security purposes, JavaScript is not able to read the local hard drive. You should only have a JSON delivered from a remote server" - "Use node.js" etc. In summary, I imagine the script needs to do this: - For each file - Find the corresponding JSON file (filename+json) - Take the photoTakenTime>formatted value Any help is much appreciated and I'm sure it would help many other people too as this seems to be a fairly common workflow now that Google shut down their sync tool. Thanks! |

Hello,
I would like to change the "created" timestamp on a batch of video files (mp4). I want to replace the "Created" date of 04 September 2020, 12:16:53 (todays time and date) with the date that is stored in the EXIF data <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> Is this possible? Many thanks! |

I have been struggling with this for a while now.
Let's say I have a list of 200 files names that are correct. I also have a list of 700 files names that are incorrect. I want to rename 200 of the 700 incorrect file names based on my correct list of 200 files. These names are very similar but not identical. From the good list here are four sample file names: redwoods CA magenta (Calif) (USA)!.png Canyons cali evening !border USA.png marshes california morning USA (1 of 2).png marshes california morning USA (2 of 2).png In the list of 700 files there are partial matches that need to be renamed from the list above the files would be: redwoods california magenta USA.png Canyons california sunset USA.png marshes california morning USA (image 1).png marshes california morning USA (image 2).png and need to be changed to: redwoods CA magenta (Calif) (USA)!.png Canyons cali evening !border USA.png marshes california morning USA (1 of 2).png marshes california morning USA (2 of 2).png I tried doing some sort of Vlookup in google sheets to find partial matches so I could create a CSV to import in to AR. but couldn't get it to work, or get it to mark which ones matched. It seems like this is something AR was designed to do...but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. |

Hello Advanced Renamer community,
What would be the proper method to rename TV series from the typical "Season Episode" to "Season Episode Chapter Name"? For that, I have a batch of Files starting with "Serie name SXXEXX.mkv" and I will have a txt o csv file with the chapter names formatted like "SXXEXX Chapter name". The idea is to use the "SXXEXX" part of both the current filename and text strings to match and replace and add the belonging chapter name to each file. By looking to all options I think that the scripted option is the best choice. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Regards, jvcastel |

Hello there. The pictures I want to rename have no exif, and useless Date Modified, Date Accessed and Date Taken columns. The "Date" column however looks like the accurate date they were taken. The question is: Can you please walk me through how to rename the files to their “Date” column, so that the format equals 2000-12-28-18h50m40 ?

I saw another posting where someone said their start batch button was missing. In my case, the entire file view was missing: Filename, new filename, start button - all just gray.
I believe we can fix 99% of this type of behavior by: 1) Save your current methods using the floppy disk save button. 2) Delete the contents of this directory. You can probably keep the UndoLists folder, which contains your undos. C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Hulubulu\Advanced Renamer 3\Data Just in case you don't know how to get to your user directory, that's also: %appdata%\Hulubulu\Advanced Renamer 3\Data |

Hi,
First of all, your program has saved me hours and hours. I don't buy/donate often but I did yours. Thank you for creating it! One snag I am in desperate need of help with. I have around 7000 photos/videos that I imported to my Windows 10 PC from my iphone. I am simply trying to change the file names to "YYYY MM-DD HH.MM.SS" Example I have two challenges. 1) I can not get the date and time to be the ORIGIONAL photo/video date and time. Meaning the "oldest" date that is found in the metadata. Meaning the date the picture was truly originally taken. I have tried almost every date field, and even several of the EXIF date fields, and they either show differently in AR than they do in the Windows metadata, or only a handful of the files have the field so it does not work. I believe that the "Date Taken" field would work but on any photos that were copies, or screenshots, or edits, there is no "Date Taken" field. I tried other fields with similar issue. The closest I have found is the Exif "FileModifyDate". What I believe I really need is the "Origin Date Take" as primary but if it is missing then to use the "<ExifTool:FileModifyDate>". Some things the "Media Created Date" is accurate. It seems like I am missing something. There must be an easier way since this must be such a common issue. Any ideas or suggestions? 2) I can not figure out how to apple EST time zone. -4/-5 depending on if it is daylight savings time. Everything loads in UTC. When you view the EXIF it is correct, the issue is only when I try to apply the EXIF to the file names. Also, I would REALLY like AM/PM (dumb I know haha). Is there a way to do that? Thanks so very much, -David |

All files have been numbered (ex. 001-999), prefixed names vary in length, names include spaces, dashes, hyphens, etc. (ex. Another-Western - John-Wayne-030.mkv, An-Old-Black-&-White - Tom-Selleck-002.avi). Desire to save file numbers (which are not complete numerical order [missing some numbers at this point]. In other software might look like "length(filename)-3".

I have a script that checks for GPS EXIF data so that the location can be part of the filename.
On the latest photo import AR v3.85 finds the GPS info, whereas AR v3.86 always returns false using this check: if(item.gpsExists == true) Did something change with the new JavaScript engine? Cheers Matt |

Is there a way to make testing manual or disable automatic? When renaming a large batch it is a bit cumbersome having to wait when each method is applied.

Hi,
I'd like to load a list of all files in the same folder, and sort them, for example, by Date Taken. However, when I click on the Date Taken column name in the 'Rename Files' window, it change the order of the files, but don't really sort it. I noticed similar behavior with some other columns, like Error or Error Code. Even if I right click on a record and use Sort by, the effect is the same. The goal here is to group all files that have the Date Taken in the top or the bottom of the list so I can mark exclude them. Why the sort works for some columns but not for other? Thank you, nelsonwcf |

i had to revert to previous version 3.85. from what i can figure out debugging, a script string variable just randomly lost its value. several lines later, the whole script stopped.. no error message at all... just quit. its not my script... on one line the value is there, the next line its not and there has been nothing to change its value in my script.
i've also had an issue where, for example, i have 3 files loaded and the script didn't work at all. i remove a file off the list and the script magically works on the other two. shouldn't each file on the list be independent of each other? |

Dears,
I'd like to find an issue to rename all my JPG + MP4 files (from the same directory), but all at once (and not operate twice) + add the year at the end. I'd like to sort by date, format the name & have this kind of results (while choosing all my files) : Picture - 001 (2020) Picture - 002 (2020) (etc.) Video - 001 (2020) Video - 002 (2020) (etc.) Any idea? Script or ? Thanks a lot, guys !!! |

Hello. I'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes to regex and AdvancedRenamer itself.
I'm trying to rename some files, for example [1964 Chad Valley Doctor Who Part 2-Oq-T2tyN-AI] and [Doctor Who - Zoe's Happiness-1taJtPsaUJc]. As you can see, after the title itself, there's a - and some jumbled characters, that range from letters (capital or lowercase), numbers and more -. I'm trying to find a way to take those out and I can't seem to push my brain to reach a solution. Any help appreciated, John |

1. Ticking the "Don't show this page again" checkbox rarely helps, or only temporarily helps. After a few use that window appears again, even during in the same session. This has been an issue for quite some time. Just now mentioning.
2. Please open the season window when double-clicking TV show Import search results. Presently you must select the desired search result and then select the next button. Thank you. |

I still have the same problem James E. McBride reported in his thread (can no longer reply to it):
(https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=5865) After closing the method window, the list and the "add"-button disappear. https://abload.de/img/bugvik4a.png If I add more lines so the scrollbars appear it works. https://abload.de/img/bug2sfk6j.png Updating to 3.86 did not help either. |

Hi. I have 1400 folders. Each folder contains 4 files. The file is, for example, 19060503 but it should be 1906-05-03. I have been able to rename the folders, which had the same error. But I don't know how to tell the program to make this change in all the files in all the folders without having to do it one by one.
Any suggestion? Thank you |

I use several presets regularly. Is it possible to create a sub-menu under the 'Add to Advanced Renamer' selection in the context menu to store several presets so you are able to select the files you want to rename and from the context menu immediately batch rename the files with the preset and WITHOUT going through the start program, select preset, start batch routine over and over again. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for Advanced Renamer! It's solved a problem that I've been looking for a solution to for a long time. I'm now using it to set the timestamp for images that I shot on my Pixel phone that I retrieved via Google Takeout so they indicate the time the shot was taken. All the timestamps are now set to the time I ran Google Takeout and the name of each file indicates the date and time the image was shot. I have file names like IMG_20171225_143748.jpg, Screenshot_20171006-163548.png, and PANO_20170811_195749.jpg. The date is encoded in the first 8 digits and the time is encoded in the 6 digits following the final underscore or minus sign. When I run Advanced Renamer and use the Timestamp method, check "Filename pattern", and specify the pattern "<Year><Month><Day>" the date portion of each timestamp is set correctly. However if I try to also set the time portion of each timestamp using the Pattern "<Year><Month><Day>_<Hour><Minute><Second>", "<Year><Month><Day>-<Hour><Minute><Second>", or "<Year><Month><Day><Hour><Minute><Second>" the pattern doesn't match. How can I get this to work so I can set the time as well as the date? Thanks, Mike |

Just wanted to let people know that even though other tools have capabilities to rename/renumber files, for anything beyond simple "sequential renumbering" or "masked renaming", Advance Renamer is the appropriate tool.
While I don't use it regularly, I use it often enough to warrant re-installing it on my new Desktop PC after building a new PC awhile ago. Thanks goes to Kim Jensen. |

Can import be used to "List Replace"
I would like to search for part of the file name and have it replaced, I have all the partial names and replacements in a csv file I see that I can manually add each individual file name and replacement, but when I import, it wants the complete file name |

Can anyone suggest a fix? |

Hi,
I'm copying/renaming thousands of image files using a .csv import that I would like to file based on a given job name. Is it possible to dynamically create the output directory based on an attribute field in the .csv e.g <orig_name>,<new_name>, <job_name> Thanks David |

Hi I'm new here. I'm using this program for very simple batch renames. Like renaming music by its tags. But then I had to rename multiple Image files with diferrent names and had no metadata or tags except its date. I want to change or switch it's name, by it's own file name.
For example: A) Screenshot_20191204-202323_Fancade.jpg -->Fancade_Screenshot_20191204-202323.jpg B) Screenshot_20190930-165655_Rules of Survival.jpg --> Rules of Survival_Screenshot_20190930-165655.jpg C) Screenshot_20191208-204822_Seekers Notes Hidden Mystery.jpg --> Seekers Notes Hidden Mystery_Screenshot_20191208-204822.jpg You get the idea, so my method is "<Word:4> <Word:5> <Word:6>_<Word:1>_<Word:2>-<Word:3>" as my reference is B). But A and C is different, of course, because of word count. It became: A) Fancade jpg_Screenshot_20191204-202323.jpg The word "jpg" was included as <Word:5> C) Seekers Notes Hidden_Screenshot_20191208-204822.jpg The word "Mystery" was missing because no <Word:7> So I need a script, I think, to exclude the extension ".jpg" as <Word:5> and a <Word:4...9> that include names except extension. Is that possible? |

Hi.
I downloaded and currently trying this program, I can already say that is excellent and a real time saver. I've done some batch renaming of folders without any trouble, but now I can't figure out how to rename some folders like this: Original name: [ABC] - 1000 - yadda yadda yadda Now, I want it to be renamed to: [ABC 1000] yadda yadda yadda Is it possible? How can I do it? Thanks very much! |

Hello!
I'm sorry, but I could not find a solution to my problem anywhere and I am at my wit's end... I have a folder with a large amount of random image files. These files follow multiple naming schemes (some filenames are exactly 15 characters long, some 13, others are combination of words and numbers separated by underscores etc.). The list looks something like this: 1111111.jpg 2222222.png 33333333333.jpg 4444444.jpg. abc_1234.jpg 55555555555.jpg Since these files all need to be renamed differently, I want to mark groups of files in the file list according to their name patterns, like: "Mark all files with exactly 7 characters" or "Mark all files with three word characters followed by an underscore" etc. I tried using the "Mark by pattern" option, but I cannot figure out how to use it properly. Either I get no result or the error message "A regular expression specified in RegEx is required". Could someone please explain how to use that option or show me a guide or the like? Thank you very much in advance! E |

Is there a way when checking and unchecking methods before starting the batch, to see the number of files/folders that would be changed by the method?
I know you can see the files "un-grey" in the "New Filename" column, but it would be really useful to see a counter that shows how many files are changed if the method is applied. Thank you, Sailor Guy |

I may have missed it, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to determine what method list .aren file is currently loaded.
It would be great to display the name of the .aren file in the title bar. Advanced Renamer 3.87 (My_Method_List_Name_v1.0.aren) And ideally if you mouse over the filename in the title, display the full path to the .aren file like "c:\ArenMethods\My_Method_List_Name_v1.0.aren" Is there a way to attach a PNG or PDF file to a forum post? I have an example to attach. Thanks, Sailor Guy |

Hi,
I am using Advanced Renamer to rename my photos and videos based, respectively, on the following tags: <Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day> <Img Hour>-<Img Min>-<Img Sec> and <Video Date Year>-<Video Date Month>-<Video Date Day> <Video Date Hour>-<Video Date Min>-<Video Date Sec> As I am lazy, I use both methods in a single list and renamed files and video all togethers. It works, but errors are always displayed for pictures (which don't have video information). See https://i.imgur.com/neV9rkb.png I am wondering if there is a "clean" way to achieve this (in one single list) ? E.g.: apply methods only of files of a certain type/with a certain extension Here are the details of my List: [methods] method0000=methodname:"newcase"; active:"1"; casetype:"lowercase"; applyto:"extension"; regularexpressions:"0"; method0001=methodname:"newname"; active:"1"; mask:"<Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day> <Img Hour>-<Img Min>-<Img Sec> - # - <IncNr:1>"; tagpage:"5"; applyto:"name"; method0002=methodname:"replace"; active:"1"; replace:"-- --"; replacewith:"<Video Date Year>-<Video Date Month>-<Video Date Day> <Video Date Hour>-<Video Date Min>-<Video Date Sec> - # - <IncNr:1>.<ext>"; casesensitive:"0"; regularexpressions:"1"; applyto:"name"; occurrence:"0"; method0003=methodname:"replace"; active:"1"; replace:"#"; replacewith:""; casesensitive:"0"; regularexpressions:"0"; applyto:"name"; occurrence:"0"; |

Hello,
I am struggling with a simple task I think, I searched all internet did not find any way to do it. I have some kind of playout list that loads some media from a folder. The problem is when I have non-English char it refuses to load. So I need to make a BAT with "Advanced renamer". (nice feature by the way) what it mean none English characters, anything except this: {[A-Z],[a-z],"-","_","+"," ","!","?",",",";")} so I need to remain only English alphabet and some basic punctuation marks So I need to delete all char except the array mentioned. If it cant not do this is really not that advance. Thanks. |

Hello
I've a list of about 38000 file .tif (scans of pictures) which are named in the following way: Example, Directory nr. 126 126-0001.tif (the front of the picture) 126-0001a.tif (the rear of the same picture) 126-0002.tif 126-0002a.tif 126-0003.tif (no rear for this picture) 126-0004.tif 126-0005.tif 126-0005a.tif 126-0006.tif 126-0006a.tif 126-0006b.tif (more than a scan of the same picture) I have to change the name of all these files starting from a new number (for example 35001) and I've to do this operation for each directory, starting from a new number. The result of the example should be the following: 126-0001.tif 35001a.tif 126-0001a.tif 35001b.tif 126-0002.tif 35002a.tif 126-0002a.tif 35002b.tif 126-0003.tif 35003a.tif 126-0004.tif 35004a.tif 126-0005.tif 35005a.tif 126-0005a.tif 35005b.tif 126-0006.tif 35006a.tif 126-0006a.tif 35006b.tif 126-0006b.tif 35006c.tif How can I do this operation? I've tried in different ways but with no success Thank for your help Roberto |

When I download albums, a folder is created using the album name and the tracks are put inside that folder.
I have figured out how to rename the files and the folder, but I am having to do it in 2 operations. I have created 7 methods. the first 5 do the file re-naming and replacing unwanted characters of the files inside the folder. <ID3 Artist> - <DirName:1> - <Name> set upper case first letter replace "_" with a space renumber replace "." with "-" the last 2 methods rename the folder <ID3 Artist> - <album> replace "_" with a space So I add the files with the add button under the rename files tab, then add the folders with the add folders under the rename folders tab. In the method pane I check the five methods and uncheck the 6, and 7 methods then click the start batch button. Then uncheck the first five methods and check the 6 and 7 click the rename folders tab and click start batch. Question is can I do this in just one operation and if so how? Thanks Ken P.S. This is My first day using AR, so far I love it. |

Hi,
I am trying to rename my whole library of photos using EXIF data. Specifically I'm trying to use Image year, month, day, hour, minute, second, sub-second, camera make, camera model as the file name. However, one of the cameras used is a Samsung and the model is WB250F/WB251F/WB252F in the EXIF data. This throws up the illegal filename character error (102). Is there any way I can pull in the camera model data but limit it to the first 6 characters so it doesnt try to write the illegal character ? TIA Steve |

Hello community,
I have developed a script by inspiring on some others I found in the forum. You are good !!! The script shifts by 1 minute each Created date and Modified date of files in a list : Here the script : ******************* var moddate = item.modifiedDate var min = moddate.getMinutes(); moddate.setMinutes(min+i); moddate.setSeconds(0); item.newCreatedDate = moddate; item.newModifiedDate = moddate; i++ ******************** There is a pre batch initilaizing i to 0. Now, when I auto-test the script, I see the newModifiedDate and the newCreatedDate taking the new values. But when I Start Batch, it runs something but the dates remains unchanged. Do you have an idea why nothing changes ? Thanks |

It would be great to have video date and time available in the Timestamp method (to be easily applied to the created/modified timestamps).

I am trying to rename family photos and all of the names are completely random. I managed to rename the dates in the file names so they follow the patterns: "(yyyy-mm-dd)_" and "(yyyy-mm)_" respectively. The date patterns are scattered in random positions in my filenames and I want to move them to the front of my filenames. I think I can define my date patterns as "(*)_" , but I'm not sure how to move it. Is this possible?

Hi, I'm in this situation: I have a number of PDF documents. Each of them contains a table and some text. In each document there is a box that contains a person's "name and surname". I would like to rename each file with the name and surname, taking them from the contents of the pdf. It can be done? Thanks for your help!

This is the case.
In one folder I have a series of images in the sertain order. The A-folder. In another folder I have the exact same number of images. The B-folder. Now I want to rename all the images in the B-folder so they get the same names as in the A-folder based on the exact order they appear in the folders sorted by alphanumeric. Example. Folder A: kt10101.jpg kt10102.jpg kt10103.jpg Folder B: british-heritage-001.jpg british-heritage-002.jpg british-heritage-003.jpg Wanted outcome in folder B: british-heritage-001.jpg > kt10101.jpg british-heritage-002.jpg > kt10102.jpg british-heritage-003.jpg > kt10103.jpg Does that make sense? |

hi guys,
I have a bunch of files <name>__999.jpg , where 999 represents numbers from 001 to 999. I want to select only first 50 files for renaming. How can I select them using "add the files in the folder" and further "regular expression match" options? What should be the syntax there? TIA |

Hi, ive got a problem whitch the "New Case" Feature, because there is none option to solve my Problem.
For Example, I have 4 Files: 2020-10-01 AB & CD - Ef Gh.txt 2020-10-02 Ij Kl & Mn Op - Qr St Uv.txt 2020-10-03 Wx Yz & Ab Cd - Ef Gh Ij.txt 2020-10-04 KL MN, OP QR & ST UV - Wx Yz.txt I simply want to have "Set Upper Case first letterin every word", but it does not work for example [1] and [4]. They are not renamed by the Tool - AB & CD gets not renamed to "Ab & Cd". It stays at complete Upper Case for the whole word. |

I have a bunch of folders that contain files name like this (as an example);
this.is.a.long.file.name.docx this.is.an.even.longer.file.name.docx this.is.the.longest.file.name.ever.made.docx So the length of each file name varies. What I would like to do is trim them down to a certain number of characters. Is it possible to rename them in the following way - even if they all have varying lengths? th.is.a.lo.fi.na.docx th.is.an.ev.lo.fi.na.docx th.is.th.lo.fi.na.ev.ma.docx I would like just 2 letters at the beginning of each word to remain and the rest removed. |

Would it be possible to add support for renaming .MTS video files, which are produced by Sony and other cameras, by date and time recorded? Mediainfo shows this information as 'recorded date'. Date created usually works, but is sometimes wrong if the file has been copied.
Thanks. |

Hi,
I have tried renaming a bunch of files in a folder. My files follow this pattern: fileOne_1.jpg fileOne_2.jpg fileOne_3.jpg fileTwo_1.jpg fileTwo_2.jpg fileTwo_3.jpg etc. I want to rename my files like this: fileOne_1.jpg -> newNameOne_1.jpg fileOne_2.jpg -> newNameOne_2.jpg fileOne_3.jpg -> newNameOne_3.jpg fileTwo_1.jpg -> newNameTwo_1.jpg fileTwo_2.jpg -> newNameTwo_2.jpg fileTwo_3.jpg -> newNameTwo_3.jpg I have a list of the names, but replacing the values with CSV import didn't seem to work, so I read on the forum that I should use the List Replace function with a script (I have over 2000 files that needs replacing, so it would be too tedious to enter them one by one). I'm not good with scripting, so I have not been able to figure it out to make a script that searches for value X in the old name and replaces it would value Y in the new name. Can anyone help? :) |

Hi guys,
is there any relatively simple way to change a name of a folder in such a way that the new name contains the number of subfolders with specific name pattern? Eg folder: <main_folder> contains 10 subfolders named <999px> and 15 subfolders named <999vx>, where 9 is a digit. I want to rename <main_folder> into <main_folder 10px 15vx> TIA |

Hi,
i used AR now for some time and i am pretty excited. But now my skills aren´t good enough, so i thougt i try to ask here :) I have tons of folders and every folder has tons of jpegs. The folders Names are A_1 A_2 A_3 etc. Every folder has the same jpeg names in it. It´s A0001.jpeg A0002.jpeg A0003.jpeg I would like to rename the jpeg names in every folder so for the folder A_1 the names shoud be A_1_A0001.jpeg A_1_A0002.jpeg A_1_A0003.jpeg and this logic should be going on for all folders.I know how to handle it within one folder, but it´s to much data so i can´t do it "folder by folder". Is there a possible script for that? Or another way? EDIT: i know, that i can make it via Add: >DirName:1>_ and then i receive the result i like for one folder. Now i would like to pick more folders at once or automatically afterwards... Thanks! |

Hi
What a great tool! I've managed to Do a few useful things on a batch of filenames, but I need a bit of input on how to define different parts of a filename. I've tried to read through the forum, but find a matching case. I have a list of items named like this: KT13043_4007 TAG1 TAG2 mix_3-21_2.jpg Needs to be: KT13043_4007.jpg KT13043_4007 TAG1 TAG2 mix_3-21_F.jpg Needs to be: KT13043_4007_F.jpg KT will be present in every filename. 13043_4007 and TAG1 TAG2 mix_3-21_ will be changing for every two files. So basically, on every second file, I want to tell "Advanced renamer" to delete everything after "numericvalue_numericvalue" And on the other half of the files to tell "Advanced renamer" to delete everything between "numericvalue_numericvalue" and "_F" And that goes way above my skills :-) Please help |

Hi folks,
i would like to batch rename all folders (adding 48k in their name) containing files with specific caracters (48k). Is that possible with advanced renamer ? In the "Rename Files" tab, i found a way to filter files according to their name, but if i want to rename folders, i have to import them via the "Rename Folders" tab, right ? I didn't find any option there to filter the folder according to the name of the files in them. Is there a way around it ? Thanks Nico |

Is there a way to have an incremental number increase per duplicate file, if there any, while just adding a fixed number to unique files?
Example: AAA.jpg BBB.jpg CCC.jpg CCC.jpg CCC.jpg Desired result: AAA_1.jpg BBB_1.jpg CCC_1.jpg CCC_2.jpg CCC_3.jpg I'm aware of the collusion setting, but it only applies the number for duplicate files. |

Firstly I really love this software and thank you so much for your hard work.
I noticed that 7-zip could give you a crc 32 or 64 checksum name of a file and I have been naming some of my files with that method due to the small character count, is there a way that this program can also implement that checksum? |

So I seem to get the gist of how to rename the folders, but it would not use the CSV data, please correct me if I am wrong.
1) I load all the files I want to rename. 2) I then import CSV data, which has two columns (first one is old and second is the new name) 3) I then import the names but nothing changes. I tried another method, 1) I try the files from CSV method, and I have the filename with the CSV 2) I choose the base folder containing images I want to rename. 3) Everything looks fine, everything is separated correctly, but the status says Cannot find source. I am so close but for some reason it says Cannot find source. I am a bit of a newbie at this so please help, thanks. The text box looks like this: http://prntscr.com/w9byo8 |

Hi,
I'm trying to change dots to spaces, except for dates (10.10.10), so I was trying the following regex: (\D.)\.(.\D) -> replace for -> \1 \2 I read that as: Group1: any non-digit, followed by any char . (the dot I want to remove Group2: any char, followed by a non-digit I know it might not be the best solution, but still, it doesn't seem to be working properly. partial Filename: and.andi.part1.aaa.sd.mp4-aaa.mp4 result: and.andi part 1.aaa sd.mp4-aaa.mp4 I just cant understand why some of those dots are not being replaced. 'nd.an', ' 1.aa', 'sd.mp' should all match my regex. I'm on windows 10 64 bit, AR 3.87 |

This one is tricky but repeatable.
Issue: Information is cached in the software from a previous batch. If the "base folder for original files" remains unchanged from the previous batch, then data from that batch is used in the current batch regardless if the files and "Filename CSV" (file used to cross reference existing/new filenames). Workflow and setup: I plot a progress set of drawings to PDF every week, and then use AutoRenamer to rename. I have a directory setup specifically for this task. This is the directory used in Import>Files from CSV>Base folder... I created a new CSV to incorporate any new drawings/PDFs in the batch, keep in mind many of the files to be renamed were similar to the previous batch. After running this batch many files were mismatched and received the wrong (new) filename. It appears the names were matched with last weeks file list somehow - since quantities were different names didn't align with mystery 'cached' data. The Fix: The only thing that seemed to correct the issue was to change "Base folder..." file path. I tried a new CSV and couple other things. |

Thanks for continuing to work on this tool. It mostly works pretty well, but one usability update would help a little bit, I think: Scroll wheel support (or scrolling in general)
For those who maybe have a long, complicated list of methods in the Rename Method section, it can be difficult to move through them using only the scroll bar. It would be super helpful if, when the mouse is over that section, the mouse scroll wheel could be used to flip through the items, and, if over an item with its own scroll bar, like list replace, that it scrolls through that as well. Thank you for taking the time to consider this. |

Maybe for some experts this is an easy task,
but somehow i was confused because i only used it for a few days and i know nothing about scripts, I'm having a problem to swap file names, for example i want to change this name: Metallica - 01 - Pre-Grammy rehearsal (Feat. Lady Gaga).mp3 Metallica - 02 - The Final Bell Tolls (Feat. Europe).mp3 to this name: Metallica Feat. Lady Gaga - 01 - Pre-Grammy rehearsal.mp3 Metallica Feat. Europe - 02 - The Final Bell Tolls.mp3 Is there a way to make this happen in Advanced Renamer? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks :) |

I've been using AdvancedRenamer for a while now and while I think the UI could look more modern, the program itself is very nice.
I especially like the renaming option with TVMaze. So I've now decided to purchase a license but now that I want to register it says "Communication error with the server". What gives?! This is not cool... I have emailed the admin. Hopefully I can get a response soon or I will see if I can open a dispute and get my money back. Would be unfortunate if I have to go that far though. |

I use ARen a lot for my images, as a matter of fact it's how my images get sorted the way I like them. My only problem is when I get a bit lazy and drag a whole folder instead of just dragging the pics that I need renamed, it can get a bit slow because of all the images that are already renamed that get added to the list. I think it'd be nice to have a button in the List section, where you can remove errorneous items and such, that removes and files in the list that won't have their names changed by the current renaming method.

Hello guys,
I would like to rename several files that are continuously inside the folder. For example: Bob Ross - A Cold Spring Day (Season 30 Episode 11) (480p_30fps_H264-128kbit_AAC) Bob Ross - A Perfect Winter Day (Season 29 Episode 11) (480p_30fps_H264-128kbit_AAC) in Bob Ross S30E11 A Cold Spring Day (480p_30fps_H264-128kbit_AAC) Bob Ross S29E11 A Perfect Winter Day (480p_30fps_H264-128kbit_AAC) I don't quite get it yet. Therefore I would be grateful for any help. Spo0cky |

Hi
My Windows 10 has just updated to Version 2004, Build 19041.746. Since this update, I can no longer launch Advanced Renamer. When I try to launch it, the icon shows on the taskbar but no window appears. When I hover on the taskbar icon, it shows just a white window preview. It shows in Task Manager but is only using a very low amount of memory indicating it’s not running properly. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips how to get back up and running? Thanks. Edit: Not sure what changed, but I’ve tried to open it again and it’s worked. |

I am trying to rename files of one type in a folder to match files of another file type. Example below:
Project 27-ep01 Pilot 1080p H265 AAC-Stereo.MP4 Project 27-ep01 TXT Project 27-ep02 Name of episode two 1080p H265 AAC-Stereo.MP4 Project 27-ep02.TXT Project 27-ep03 Name of episode three 1080p H265 AAC-Stereo.MP4 Project 27-ep03.TXT Project 27-ep04 Name of episode four 1080p H265 AAC-Stereo.MP4 Project 27-ep04.TXT etc. I would think there is a way to do an 'If, Then' kind of routine, so that if the first X number of characters match (15 in this case) then the TXT files are renamed to match the MP4 files. I just cannot figure out how to do it with this program. Thanks in advance for any help! |

without manual triage, parent folders get renamed prior to child folders, so child folders get orphaned (do not get edited) - because now that the parent folder is renamed, the child folder can no longer be found to be renamed. In a hierarchy multiple subfolders deep, this causes a great deal of frustration. can the software be patched to operate on deepest folders first, then working its way up to the root? or perhaps I missed a setting.

cannot sort by 'error' column in the 'rename files' preview panel. if such could be sorted by error, it would make manual unchecking of all error files much easier when there is an extensive list.

Good morning,
When I drag certain files in order to have them renamed I get an error saying "Invalid argument to date encode" and it never finishes analyzing them. The strange thing is that I am not doing anything related to dates. I am just changing all names to low case. I am using Advanced Renamer 3.87 on a 32-bit Windows 7. It works perfectly with the rest of files. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Hello, I'm new to this program.
I am searching for a program to move files from one folder to subfolders, but with a maximum amount of files per folder. example: I have a folder named "various". Inside this folder I have 788 files total. I would like to batch move all the files inside the "various" folder into subfolders with a limit of 200 files per folder. The name of the subfolders must be automatically created in increments of the parent folder name "various" + 001, eg. various001, various002, etc. The end result should look something like this: Various/various001/{filename1} Various/various001/{filename2} ... Various/various001/{filename200} Various/various002/{filename1} Various/various002/{filename2} ... Various/various002/{filename200} etc. If the folder name "various" can't be appended to the subfolders, I'm ok with only the numbering for the subfolders, e.g. 001, 002, 003, etc.. Is this possible with the Advanced Rename application? I tried the Move files batch mode, but could only get it to put all the files in it's own subfolder. Meaning, with 788 files, I also get 788 subfolders. Thanks in advance for any help with this. |

What does it indicate if the filenames in the file list turn orange or blue?
Orange, it seems, indicate that the file extension will be changed by application of the chosen methods. Do I have that right? I can't figure out what the blue coloring means. |

I tried in a script the following functions to convert UTF8 names to base64 and viceversa, but it seems that `btoa` function is not recognized:
function utf8_to_b64( str ) { return btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent( str ))); } function b64_to_utf8( str ) { return decodeURIComponent(escape(atob( str ))); } Prepending `btoa` with `app.` or `window.` does not help either. Thanks in advance for any help. |

I have a lot of school videos in folders and they need to be renumberd with Zeros in front of them What i figured out is how to make a 1. Start to an 01. Start But my folder Structure looks like this: 1. Chapter 1 -1. Start.mp4 -2. chapter1Next.mp4 -15.chapter1Next.mp4 2. Chapter 1 -1. Start.mp4 -2. chapter2Next.mp4 -18.chapter2Next.mp4 -- If i renumber them the numbers those in chapter 2 are subsequent to chapter 1 (like 28.chapter2Next.mp4) Right now i have to drag&drop every single folder and press "start batch" Is there an easier way to do this? Thanks |

I often renumber huge batches of pictures (e.g. from my smartphone, the pictures of a whole year), until now with another batch renamer (but it has some issues so I'm looking for a new one, and advanced renamer looks promising).
I would like the numbering starting from zero for each day. For the other renamer I wrote a script to do that (it is a little bit complicated). Can advanced renamer do this by it's own or do i also need to write a script? Here a example what I mean: original name new name expected name creation date 20210105_145021.jpg DCIM 2021.01.05_0000.jpg DCIM 2021.01.05_0000.jpg 05.01.2021 14:50 20210106_131252.jpg DCIM 2021.01.06_0001.jpg DCIM 2021.01.06_0000.jpg 06.01.2021 13:12 20210106_131315.jpg DCIM 2021.01.06_0002.jpg DCIM 2021.01.06_0001.jpg 06.01.2021 13:13 20210106_161451.jpg DCIM 2021.01.06_0003.jpg DCIM 2021.01.06_0002.jpg 06.01.2021 16:14 20210107_111101.jpg DCIM 2021.01.07_0004.jpg DCIM 2021.01.07_0000.jpg 07.01.2021 11:11 20210107_112645.jpg DCIM 2021.01.07_0005.jpg DCIM 2021.01.07_0001.jpg 07.01.2021 11:26 20210107_112819.jpg DCIM 2021.01.07_0006.jpg DCIM 2021.01.07_0002.jpg 07.01.2021 11:28 20210109_204552.jpg DCIM 2021.01.09_0007.jpg DCIM 2021.01.09_0000.jpg 09.01.2021 20:45 20210111_165645.jpg DCIM 2021.01.11_0008.jpg DCIM 2021.01.11_0000.jpg 11.01.2021 16:56 20210117_190322.jpg DCIM 2021.01.17_0011.jpg DCIM 2021.01.17_0000.jpg 17.01.2021 19:03 20210117_190912.jpg DCIM 2021.01.17_0012.jpg DCIM 2021.01.17_0001.jpg 17.01.2021 19:09 Here my script from the other renamer (it's Pascal), can someone help to translate in Java? var counter:Integer; FileDate: TDateTime; countdate:String; begin FileDate := FileTimeModified(FilePath); if countdate<>DateToStr(FileDate) then counter:=0; if counter>=1000 then FileName := 'MOV ' + FormatDateTime(' yyyy.mm.dd', FileDate) + '_' + '' + IntToStr(counter) + WideLowerCase(WideExtractFileExt(FileName)); if (counter<1000) AND (counter>=100) then FileName := 'MOV ' + FormatDateTime(' yyyy.mm.dd', FileDate) + '_' + '0' + IntToStr(counter) + WideLowerCase(WideExtractFileExt(FileName)); if (counter<100) AND (counter>=10) then FileName := 'MOV ' + FormatDateTime(' yyyy.mm.dd', FileDate) + '_' + '00' + IntToStr(counter) + WideLowerCase(WideExtractFileExt(FileName)); if counter<10 then FileName := 'MOV ' + FormatDateTime(' yyyy.mm.dd', FileDate) + '_' + '000' + IntToStr(counter) + WideLowerCase(WideExtractFileExt(FileName)); countdate:=DateToStr(FileDate); counter:= counter + 1; end. |

How can I set up a script so that if some specific characters in a filename, then I rename it to something else? And then hopefully have several such if statements.

Hello,
When we use the code in the Advanced renamer application, when we switch to a different file name, it does not count the numbers from the beginning. Thanks. |

Hi,
I would store and restore my 30 files and folders the modified time and created time. I would like to add it to the list, but I have not found any functions. How to do it in the GUI? If it goes should also be supported nanoseconds, because NTFS store an accuracy of 100 nanoseconds, if not goes also no problem. The seconds are enough for me. |

Hi, can anyone tell me why now I have installed on a fresh Win 10 installation any title with a accented or foreign character produces a diamond with a ? in it. This did not happen on my old Win 10 installation. I can copy and paste episode name from TVmaze and the characters copy fine, it is just changing them via Renamer.
Thanks In Advance. |

Hi, I have these folders that I want to add the 'last modified' date to them. As using the Date/Time Modified Tags don't work on folders I tried the <UnixTimestamp Modified> tag and it does, conventing the string it generates shows the same date as in the folder properties! Now is there a way to convert this Unix "Epoch" TimeStamp to a normal date format like YYYYMMDD_HHMM?
Thanks. |

Hi,
I have been looking into the metadata possibilities with the ExifTool, however, I don't see how to change the metadata to copy the filename as the title of the file. Has anyone tried to do this? I am trying to do this to help PLEX when scanning files and looking up info on IMdB Thank you |

As I see, the program can change the attributes of files. The problem is that it does not add files with the Hidden and System attributes to the processing list.

Hi, so in a google form people are sending to me images and the google drive platform rename the files automatically adding to the original filename the name of the google account and it add it with a dash " - " forward. So the name of the file become like this: "name_of_the_image - person_name.jpeg". I need to keep just the last part of the name and remove the rest so i need just the name of the person, but probleme is in the original names of images we have commonly dashes ( - ) too, so we have no the same number of dashes in all filenames and i need to keep just from the last dash to the final of filename (keeping too the extension).
example: img - 20251215 - george bryan.jpeg (i want to keep just "george bryan.jpeg") 15615251fvrev - barack malick hosein.png (want to keep just "barack malick hosein.png") Thanks a lot and scuse my english |

Hi guys!
I have a problem Im trying to rename a lot of files and trying to do something like this : First file: Venice Beach Volleyball (Asia) (Ja) (Unl).png New file name : Venice Beach Volleyball.png I can do this by myself with \(.*\) but the problem starts when there are 3 more files like First file i mentioned: Venice Beach Volleyball (Asia) (Ja) (Unl).png Venice Beach Volleyball (Asia) (Ja).png Venice Beach Volleyball (USA).png so when Im trying to rename it gaves same name error.but its not important for me to keep all 3 files i just want 1 new file which is like this: Venice Beach Volleyball.png and i dont have a problem if windows replaces the files with 1 file cuz they are all the same with different names.also i dont care if windows replace files with new names like: Venice Beach Volleyball.png Venice Beach Volleyball(1).png Venice Beach Volleyball(2).png cuz i only need file without () and the program refuses to rename files with same new name. So is there any options to bypass Error(109) possibility of multiple files with the same name?and rename at any cost? |

I have a collection of ~700 ebooks from one publisher.
All filenames follow a <Category> - <Title> [<PublisherCode>].<Ext> structure. I have a CSV file with (among other data), the Publisher codes and matching ISBNs. I want to replace the publisher codes in each file name with the ISBN. Is this possible? If so, can someone offer some guidance on what methods I should be using? Edit: The CSV does not match my collection 1:1. The CSV has books I do not, and I have books not listed in the CSV. |

Hello! I have a lot of files name like "FolderName_FileName". I want them to be in folder "FolderName" and files in that folder with "FileName". I have created folders "FolderName_FileName" with each file in it named exactly like folder. When I try to rename folder just to "FolderName" I get error 109 (Possibility of multiple files with same file name). Is there any way to rename multiple folders to same name, so if there is already folder with same name just to put file in already created folder?

I'm using AR for quite a while. Recently I had to renew my PC and re-installed v3.87. With the new machine I can not rename my HEIC files anymore with <Img Year><Img Month><Img Day>... It only works with jpg but no longer with the Heigh Efficiency Format. I prefer not to use <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>. Reason being the diffrent and less flexible arrangement of the tags within the new name.
Anyone has a hint to solve this mystery? THANKS. |

Hello
This is a great tool and I'm trying to use it to put the original dates created from the filename of movies I've recently converted. But I can not understand how to use the tags and how to ignore text in the file names. I have read the manual several times and tested but do not succeed so please help me someone who can! This is the function I try to use https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/metho d_timestamp The file names have the following patterns DV001_20000413-000420.mp4 and I want to ignore the first part DV001_ take the second part 20000413 and identify as the date 2000-04-13 then I want to set the same time on all files to 12:00. So for this specifik file the Date Created should be 2000-04-13 12:00 It would have been great if you could also save the original file name in one of the file's attributes such as comment or similar. For example i have tryd this pattern <Substr:7:8> 12:00:00 but can not get a correct format. Would be really very grateful if I get help with this !! |

I've gone thru the instructions 100 times. I know I'm doing everything right. It even says that the files were successful, but when I look in the orig folder, the files are still not renamed.
I'm trying to remove the numbers and characters from the prefix of my song titles. Are the modified files being sent to outer space after being renamed? Either that or this software simply does not work. Glad I didn't spend the $20 bucks. |

I'm having an odd problem with AR where I can't batch delete jobs more than a year old. When I click "undo previous batch" and select "delete previous jobs" it removes everything from the past year, but instead of deleting older jobs it just files them all under "December 1899" (although the dates of the jobs themselves are unchanged). Is there an alternate way of deleting old jobs? (Besides pruning them one by one - there are hundreds!)

Hi all,
I have been reading a lot, but it just will not work. I would like to change files like Dan Brown - Diabolus.epub to Brown Dan - Diabolus.epub which should, according to the help, not be difficult. I used Replace with regular expression, (<Word:1>) (<Word:2>) (<Word:3>) \2 \1 \3 But I get the message , if I click on "replace by" Error in regular expression at offset 2: reference to non-existing subpattern. what am I doing wrong? what did I misunderstand? Thanks! |

Okay, I just took hours to figure out an simple swap issue so now I'm too pooped to figure out this one:
I want to TURN THIS example: The Doors - The Soft Parade - SongfileNumber1234.mp3 INTO THIS: Doors, The - Soft Parade, The - SongfileNumber1234.mp3 This will also apply to the other articles, "A" and "An" although much less urgently And I'll be doing this, in stages obviously, for well over 200,000 files. PLEASE, I'm not too sharp with this stuff and the forum articles are like reading a foreign language so explain it like I'm a 6 year old, lol. Please help, Obi Wan! You're my only hope! -ALS |

Hello
I created a with a new rename-method that adds a prefix (according to the folder name) and a suffix (change date). Now I'd like to create a batch job that renames all my files (including all subfolders) according to my rename-method, but in this job all files that contain already the proper prefix an suffix should be exluded. Until now, everytime I start the job, the new prefix and suffix ist added one more time. What would be the right command line to exclude these files? |

I have a single photo directory with photos taken on different dates that extend over a number of months. I rename all the files in the directory with Year, Month, Day, Location where image was taken and a <Inc Nr>. What I would like to do is to restart the Nr when the date changes, resulting in files "grouped by" date, location and unique Nr for the particular date. Is this possible? or is there a different method to achieve this. Many thanks

I was trying to play around with the case of some file names and realized that the "Pattern" field in "New Case" seems to be case insensitive. This is a made up example of what I was trying to do:
"dreams of ashes - TO THE END" [Set upper case first letter in every word] "Dreams Of Ashes - TO THE END" [Set pattern to lower case (RegEx): " [A-Z][a-z] "] Expected: "Dreams of Ashes - TO THE END" Result: "Dreams of Ashes - to THE END" This is probably not the best way to solve this problem, but it should work for the names that I had. After that, I tried other things with the pattern, even without RegEx, and it's still case insensitive (if I just put "a" or "A" it will match the same thing either way). There should probably be an option for case sensitive like there is in "Replace". Luckily I don't have many cases where this would be a problem, I can just rename the few wrong ones manually. |

I have photo shoots on different locations on different dates and would like to use an automated script to insert a location description based on the date of the image taken. The image files have been processed to reflect the date and uniquely indexed based on the date (see below) and I now want to run a script which will insert a given location name based on the specific date of the image.

Hi David, I currently have to do a 2 time manual pass to rename my photo files using the methods/scripts and process outlined below. This works well, but I have to do 2 x stage manual process. Is there a way to combine/structure these commands/scripts that would allow me to do a 1 time fully automated execution/pass?. Note: The original file name dates and location are known in advance allowing me to construct my CSV file. Original File Names (out of camera) -8503919 -8503920 -8503921 -8503922 etc. Execute the following: Remove Count 8 Starting at 1 Add ExifTool:Createdate Remove Count 8 Starting at 1 Add <Inc Nr:001:1> Prebatch Script lastDate = ""; Script name = item.newBasename; if ((date = name.slice(0,10 )) != lastDate) { lastDate = date; incNo = 0; } return name + " " + ("00" + ++incNo).slice(-3); Remove Count 5 Starting at 5 Executing the above results in 2020_11_02_001.NEF 2020_11_02_002.NEF 2020_11_02_003.NEF 2020_11_02_.NEF 2020_11_06_.NEF 2020_11_06_002.NEF 2020_11_06_003.NEF 2021_01_26_001.NEF 2021_01_26_002.NEF 2021_01_26_003.NEF 2021_01_26_005.NEF 2021_02_01_001.NEF 2021_02_01_002.NEF I then start the batch to update the names in the direcotry and then drag these new files for renaming into the app; I then Execute the following Script Pre Batch replace = {}; csv = "C:\\Users\\John Johnson\\Desktop\\Script Test\\Date Location.csv"; csv = '::\"' +csv + '\"'; j=1; while (line = app.parseTags('<File Line:' + j + csv + '>')) { match = line.match(/(.*),(.*)/); replace[match[1]] = match[2]; j++; } I Run the Script using the CSV File below match = item.name.match(/([^ ]*)(.*)/); place = replace[match[1]]; if (place) return match[1] + " " + place + match[2]; 2020_11_02 Black Bear 001.NEF 2020_11_02 Black Bear 002.NEF 2020_11_02 Black Bear 003.NEF 2020_11_02 Black Bear 004.NEF 2020_11_06 Library Springs 001.NEF 2020_11_06 Library Springs 002.NEF 2020_11_06 Library Springs 003.NEF 2021_01_26 Rolling Meadows 001.NEF 2021_01_26 Rolling Meadows 002.NEF 2021_01_26 Rolling Meadows 003.NEF 2021_01_26 Morton Arboretum 005.NEF 2021_02_01 Morton Arboretum 001.NEF 2021_02_01 Morton Arboretum 002.NEF CSV File 2020_11_02,Black Bear 2020_11_06,Library Springs 2021_01_26,Rolling Meadows 2021_02_01,Morton Arboretum |

I'm trying to mark only files with the word "imdb" in the file name. Once marked I'll use the replace method to change the file extention.
Using "mark by pattern" then choosing "use regular expressions", I'm trying different variants of \w[imdb] \w [imdb] ^\w [imdb]& but just get errors "a regular expression specified in RegEx is required" Thoughts? |

I have a folder full of photos with ID numbers as names. I am trying to rename them using a csv that has each ID number in one column and the name that I want the matching photo named. So, say that I have an image named 301.jpg and I have a csv file with 301.jpg in column A and Jane Doe in Column B. Is there a way to match the numbers from the images to the numbers in column A on the csv file - so that each photo gets the right name that is associated to the person by ID number.

I had a long method list. Several were enabled. I wanted to disable all, so I clicked clear. That was the wrong thing to do. It cleared all the methods from the list. In hopes that it didn't write those setting yet, I killed the AREN process from the task manager. But when I reopened the program all methods were still gone. Is there any way to recover the list? Thanks.

I am looking for a method for removing all characters before the first space (including the space. The space character will appear later in the file name so I can't just group it and the number of leading numbers and . characters can vary.

Quite a while ago there was a thread titled "Suggestion for Case Change function - Exception Lists".
Maybe I am overlooking it, vainly searched for it. Maybe it has indeed been implemented, I don't know. If not, I would like to revive that thread and bring it up again. Suggestion to add a few predefined lists (available on Internet) and a user defined list (.txt) that should reside in the Advanced Renamer folder. Predefined, for example: 1. Computer (CD DVD MP3 MP4, etc..) 2. Countries (USA, UK, etc.) 3. User defined (Like: AD;DC;X1;A5;WD;WF, etc.), with or without leading and/or trailing underscore or hyphen, e.g. -AD- or _AD etc. Keep up the good work! = |

This program looks like just what I need, but I'm working on files in OneDrive. Like other cloud storage services, OneDrive makes a folder in File Explorer. But that folder isn't considered part of "this PC" so Renamer doesn't have it in the folder display. Is there a way to make Advanced Renamer access my OneDrive folder? Thanks --

I try unsuccessfully to obtain the following operation
Original file name pattern : wwwwxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxYYYYYzzz in which the number of characters xxxxxxx is undetermined. The final file name should be : wwwwYYYYYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxzzz whatever the number of "x" I tried the move method, check Backwards, Move from 4, Move count 5, then I would need to refer to the Destination as 5th character from beginning. Is it possible without writing a script that I am not skilled enough to perform ? Thanks for your help |

I want to leave the last part like "word+000" combination, remove anything before:
Like: “34_ert345wers000” would become "wers000" "fdsf_grge000" would become "grge000" "#^%^$%jnrjr000" would become "jnrjr000" I tried replace method, Text to be replaced: (.+)(\w*000) Replace with: $2 But it didn't work properly, the regular expressions will always search from left to right, so it cannot decide (\w*000) first and then decide the left. |

In the "list replace" method, one can only add additional rules at the end of an existing rules list It would be helpful to have a way to insert blank lines in the middle of an existing list (or add some blanks at the top of an existing list of rules).
Additionally, the ability to adjust the order of rules in an existing list (move a rule up / down) as can be done with the main rules list, would make it faster and easier for users to get things properly placed to achieve the desired output. Thanks as always. RICK |

I have a ton of bin/cue file sets that are sitting in the root of a directory and I want each set to have their own directory within the root.
Easily accomplished with the batch move command and the name without extension tag But each set has some extra files associated that throw it off a (Track 01) thing which results in each file getting a folder. I can not rename the files to omit the track parts of the file name as that would break the cue file. Is there a way the batch file mover can ignore specific phrases and numbering schemes? |

Windows 10 user.
I have a series of folders where I want to use the TimeStamp method to remove / zero-out only the time portion of the Date Created. Example, if Date Created of a folder = 09-07-2021 13:25:09, then I want the new Date Created to be 09-07-2021 00:00:00 I have tried tinkering with Delta as well Absolute times of the Timestamp Method in ARen, but they do not let me zero out only the time portion of a date attribute. Any help is greatly appreciated, including an external program (not ideal, but will do too). |

Hi ... I should delete all extensions ... I have been for more than two hours and still have not succeeded! These files have a double extension and each time the program always and only considers the first extension !!! It seems really ridiculous to me for such a simple thing!!!

It is possible to modify exiftool metadata with advanced renamer?
I'm trying to use the PDF embedded dates to replace the file timestamps but it is not working. I'm using Replace action with: Replace this: <ExifTool:FileCreateDate> With this: <ExifTool:CreateDate> If I open the exiftool I can see it can read the metadata dates for the PDF so there is not the problem. When I click on rename nothing happens. |

Hello everyone. I'm trying to perform a specific name change on some files, however I have a brain injury so my learning curve is very steep. I'm unable to determine from the various methods described in the user guide, nor can I find an answer for this in the forum, and this is why I'm posting a question.
I'd like to rename some files to numbers. This is easy enough, however I get errors and have problems when I end up with many files with the same number names. I'd like to set the program to change the files to say a bunch of 1s or 0s, randomly, but the methods I know to do that. Don't let me change files completely sometimes, if changing a given number or letter to a 1 or 0 means that the new file will be the same. Is there a way to say, change all the number 2s to a random sequence of 1s or 0s, making sure that none end up the same, so they can all be accepted by the program? Does this make sense? Because of my brain problem I don't know how I sound or if I am explaining myself properly. Just to be clear, let's say I have files such as this: 122345 122346 122347 I can change the sequence 12234 to any combination of 111000101010101 or whatever. But then when I go to change 5 to some combination, say 101, I have do something else for the 6, and it has to be different. This is fine if you see 3 like that, but not if I have 15 different files with a 2 left at the end, 20 with a 3, 10 with a 4, and so on. Then I'd have to do each file one by one with that method, and in that case I may as well do them all individually in the first place. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you most kindly. |

Hi all.
When I open advanced Renamer it always opens in a small window. I have to click the maximize button twice for a full screen display. Although showing in a full window when I close, it never saves this setting. All other custom settings are saved. Is this a Windows issues, (Win 7) or is there a setting or file I can change to save this admitably small irritation. Mark |

Hello,
I read David Lees reply to the post at https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=11037, and I've been trying for hours to adjust the syntax to my filename: I would like to turn PXL_20210605_105152883.dng into 2021.06.05, 12.51.52,883.dng The original script was: match = item.name.match(/^(.*_)(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})_(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})$/); epoch = Date.parse(match[2] + 'T' + match[3] + ':' + match[4] + ':' + match[5]); date = new Date(epoch + 7 * 3600000); return match[1] + date.getFullYear() + "-" + ("0" + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "-" + ("0" + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + "_" + ("0" + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + "-" + ("0" + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2) + "-" + ("0" + date.getSeconds()).slice(-2); I either get an error in the Error-Column, or an Error Window "Access violation at address 68C5F7B5 in module js32.dll." Could anyone point me to a resource that teaches how to change the syntax. Thank you so much Nina |

Hi
I am trying to rename my photos using New Name and <ExifTool:SubSecDateTimeOriginal> This works with up to approx 450 files. With a larger number of files the preview shows "Invalid tag" in red for the first file and "Exif tool error" in orange for the remainder of the files. Not done exact test on the number of files when it fails, but I have renamed 447 files OK but it fails on 1300 files. I have to select show files and do in small subsets of files. Any suggestions please to get this to work on all the files? |

Since windows version 1607 you can have paths longer than 256 characters (MAX_PATH) by setting the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled but programs must be able to handle such longer filenames.
If I try to move some files from a deep directory to another directory (that in the 256 limit) I _can_ add the files (despite them being in long paths) but when actually moving them I get the error `101: Unknown error: The system cannot find the path specified`. It would be really useful if you program could support files > MAX_PATH. I'm often using Advanced Renamer to cleanup downloaded files and often they end up in a rather deep directory structure which I then have to manually shorten first. Kind Regards ~ Mike PS: I only tested it with the conditions described above (moving the files from long dir to valid dir), but it probably also happens in other cases (renaming, copying, moving into long dir, ...) |

After updating AR to the latest version (3.87), I am not able to register my license key. This is an old issue. I contacted you once before when the new version came out, but was never able to correct the situation. Am giving it another go. When I try to register the key I get the message Error Communicating with Server." In addition, clicking the "Check for an Update" link results in the message "Could not check for updates." I have reinstalled the program and rebooted a few times and made sure the firewall was allowing access. I tried to send this message along with my license key to the email "[email protected], but that bounced. I'm really hoping to get this resolved and have no clue how to proceed further. Can you please help? Thank you kindly, Deck Bargy |

I have a bunch of photos that are named in the following way:
2021-06-1413_21_58.050377 Where the format is: YYYY-mm-ddHH_MM_SS.SSSSSS The issue I have is that the files have incorrectly been coded with the wrong time, and I need to reduce the hours (in 24hr format) by 5 hours. This would mean that the final file name should be: 2021-06-1408_21_58.050377 I found and adjusted some JavaScript that I think should work: if (/^\d{4}-\d\d-\d{4}_\d\d_\d\d\.\d+/.test(name)) { x = new Date(Date.parse(name.replace(/^(\d{4})-(\d\d)-(\d\d)(\d\d).*/, '$1,$2,$3,$4'))); function decrease() {x.setHours(x.getHours()-5); return x}; y = decrease(x); month = ('0'+(y.getMonth()+1)).replace(/^0(\d\d)$/,'$1'); day = ('0'+(y.getDate())).replace(/^0(\d\d)$/,'$1'); hr = ('0'+(y.getHours())).replace(/^0(\d\d)$/,'$1'); newName = y.getFullYear()+'-'+month+'-'+day+hr+name.substr(12) } However, it shows an error: Invalid script: Invalid post script: uncaught: 'identifier \x27name\x27 undefined' Please let me know how to resolve this error. Thanks! |

Hello!
I found a bug when working with overly long paths and scripts or exiftool tags. Since I have long path support enabled, which means I can create filenames and paths greater than the 260 character limit. ExifTool can't work with such paths and usually throws a missing file error (it doesn't support \\?\ either as far as I know). However, if one such a file is in a filelist and a rename operation uses exiftool tags like <ExifTool:Title>, a critical bug occurs when renaming: Instead of receiving an errorCode of 125 (found that by luck, an update to https://www.advancedrenamer.com/doc/errorcodes.p hp would be cool!), the rename operation seemingly succeeds but with empty Strings for all tags used. Id est, if I use a rename like "<ExifTool:Artist> - <ExifTool:Title>" on the name, this results in " - .m4a" as new filename. The critical bug is however, that such files sometimes confuse their name and the renaming of the following files: Given the scheme above, the problematic file then assumes the tag data of the following file and every file after it as well. riders on the storm.m4a -> "The Doors - Riders on the Storm.m4a" Some really long title[...].m4a -> "twentyonepilots - Jumpsuit.m4a" Jumpsuit.m4a -> "The Stranglers - Golden Brown.m4a" Golden Brown.m4a -> " - .m4a" I can reproduce the issue, but sometimes I just get unexpected behaviour. For example, I once had the problem mentioned above, but seemingly random after about three tag-shifted files it displayed ExifTool Error for the rest. With more too-long files, the tags were shifted by the number of too-long files. These files can't be added by dragging them onto the list, but dragging a folder containing them adds them. I wrote a simple script to prevent the issue above where other files are dragged in and that the empty strign rename stays unnoticed: Pre: var atLeastOnePathTooLong = false; function byteLength(str) { var s = str.length; for (var i=str.length-1; i>=0; i--) { var code = str.charCodeAt(i); if (code > 0x7f && code <= 0x7ff) s++; else if (code > 0x7ff && code <= 0xffff) s+=2; if (code >= 0xDC00 && code <= 0xDFFF) i--; //trail surrogate } return s; } Script: if(atLeastOnePathTooLong){ item.errorCode = 125; item.errorMessage = 'File may receive wrong Exiftool data because a previous file\'s path is too long.'; return; } var l = byteLength(item.filename) if(l > 259){ item.errorCode = 125; item.errorMessage = 'Path has byte length of ' + l + ', exiftool wont find file.'; atLeastOnePathTooLong = true; return; } When writing the script I also found that the files were messing with the debugger. Any log()s in other scripts before the one I posted are not shown at all, and log()s in scripts afterwards seem to overwrite if I add a log on top of the script above. |

Any log()s in other scripts before the one I posted are not shown at all, and log()s in scripts afterwards seem to overwrite if I add a log on top of the script above. I saw the other post about MAX_PATH and that a new version is coming out soon - maybe the bad renaming will already fixed by that! I guess since exiftool doesn't seem to support long paths itself, the best that can be done is to warn if a file can't be processed by exiftool and that no other files with ok paths are affected. If there's a way to get it fully working with long paths that would of course be even better! |

Hi
My name is Reza. I’ve used your software for rename my files. Today I face a problem to rename my files. I’ve tried lots of method, but it hasn’t worked. Please help me to find the solution. I have lots of file downloaded from youtube and all of them have special suffix at the end (some trivial code). I want to remove these trivial codes at the end of my files. For example this file has this name: God_Delusion_by_Richard_Dawkins_[C85pvi87WK8]_[tag18].mp4 And I want to remove this: _[C85pvi87WK8]_[tag18] I know the pattern is: _[???????????]_[?????] But I couldn’t find a correct method to remove this irritating suffix. In addition you can see the screenshot of my files in attachment. I need your help to solve my problem. Thanks a lot. |

I am trying to change the creation date attribute on photos created by iphone based on the date and time in the filename. Dropbox changes the file created by date to the time of upload, which is really annoying.
I am struggling to come up with a pattern that works. Here is an example of a filename: "Photo Jun 26, 12 33 28 PM.heic" I tried <Month:Xxx> <Day>, <hour> <min> <sec> but that did not work. Tried it with normal <Month>, but that didn't work either. Am I missing something? |

When I run the folder rename, I get two folders. 1. The new folder with the new name, and 2. The old folder without any files in it.
How can I get the program to run without duplicating the original folder? |

I had a vacation where multiple cameras were used including pics and videos. The time was synced on all of the devices and having the files named in order helps for creating a video of the vacation. I want the files to retain their extension but be renamed based on the image/video creation <year><month><dayofmonth>_<hour><minute><second>.<ext>. I was previously using "Stamp 2.8" to do this. Ideally I would like to choose a directory to process and it would handle the multiple file types in one pass. Is this possible?

every time I run a batch it creates new folders, which I then have to remove with Empty Folder Cleaner and then update, it is between 2-6 times in each folder tree that I have from A to Z below I have a sampling library with extremely many files that I am organizing before I run this through Sononym to further organize the files for the sampling library Kit for my eurorack. folders and files are completely disorganized and all files are named differently and all files are different lengths and all files are organized in completely different ways than I want it. what I want in files is the name of the folder tree as an abbreviation where only the first letter is included as a capital letter on each word.
how do i get this done smoothly? |

I have a bunch of folders that are in all caps. Trying to adjust them so the first letter of each word is capitalized and the remaining letters in each word are lowercase.
Here are the steps I'm following: 1) Ensuring I'm on the "Rename Folders" tab in the right pane, not "Rename Files". 2) Drag and drop folders I want to change onto the right pane in the app. 3) Confirming I want to "Add the folders", with "add subfolders" and "add root folders" checked. 4) Clicking "Add Method", selecting "New Case", and then selecting "Set upper case first letter in every word". The "New Foldername" column in the right pane, which shows the preview of the revised naming, continues to show the folder names in all caps. Do I need to do something differently to adjust the folder names? Thanks! |

Hi,
I've photographed a microfiche (one of 40 !). The microfiche contains 208 images arranged in rows B -> N, and columns 1->16. Like this: B1......B16 C1......C16 . . N1.....N16 They were also photographed in that order, and the camera contains 208 images named img_1.....img_208 I need to rename those images to their row/column name... This means start at B01 (for img_1) and count to B16 (for img_16), then C01 (for img_17), and so on. Is this possible in AR?? |

I submitted these enhancement requests back in Sept 2012 and again in 2020...
I am submitting these enhancement requests once again hoping they reach Kim Jensen and/or the AREN development team... I have well over two dozen different AREN method files and it would be great to know which one I have loaded. When you load a saved method, it would be nice to display the name of the saved method in the title bar or the command toolbar. For example: Title bar: Advanced Renamer 3.87 (Method: MCD-File-Rename-Based-on-DirName.aren) Command Toolbar: ... Undo Previous Batch / Start Batch (Method: MCD-File-Rename-Based-on-DirName.aren) It would also be nice that when you click the "Save" button that it defaults to the loaded method name rather than displaying a list of all AREN files in the BatchMethods folder that I then have to manually pick. A couple times I accidentally picked the wrong AREN file and overwrote the wrong file. Thanks for considering these 2 fairly simple but useful enhancements. Sailor Guy |

Is there a way when checking and unchecking methods before starting the batch, to see the number of files/folders that would be changed by the method?
I know you can see the files "un-grey" in the "New Filename" column, but it would be really useful to see a counter that shows how many files are changed if the method is applied. Thank you for considering this request. Sailor Guy |

I have noticed that the last update to Advanced Renamer was version 3.87 which was released on Oct 13, 2020.
Is Kim Jensen (or someone) still actively developing AREN? I am curious because I just submitted a few enhancement requests and I am wondering if AREN is a still a product with a future of new features and functionality. Thank you, Sailor Guy |

I have a several hundred folder/subfolder tree that I want to add the files to the list group. Among the thousands of files are file types (extensions) I don't want to include in the list.
I know I can uncheck/exclude files individually once they are in the list and I know I can specify a "valid extension list" in the Filename Mask (like *.jpg;*.log) to include specific file types. But what I would prefer to do is use the "Regular expression match" field and "Not Matching" option in the "Add Folder" dialog box to filter out files with one or more invalid extensions like ".script" ".cli" ".ti*" (etc.). I know I can enter a single "\.script$" in the Regular expression match and check the "Not Matching" option to exclude a single extension. But how do I specify multiple extensions like \.script$ \.log$ \.txt$ Thank you for any help. Sailor Guy |

I've recently been working on renaming all files in my mp3 collection.
I've found out that, despite having the application set to first look for ID3v2 and then to ID3v1, with files that only contain ID3v1 tags the application isn't able to find the ID3 tags. To solve this, I use Winamp to copy the ID3v1 tag's to the ID3v2 tags. After this, when I open the files again in the application, this time it's able to find the ID3 tags. It seems to me that I've run into a small bug. I like the program a lot. But having to resort to the workaround described above is a time consuming. |

Hi Kim,
I am using Advanced Renamer 3.87, Windows 10 x64... I am trying to sort the preview of output names by clicking on the tile field above them column, but it does not work. However, the exact same works fine for the source names, ordering either upward or downwards. It would be cool if we can click on any headline to sort it either up- or downwards for that column. Thanks Axel |

Hi Kim, David,
I am using Advanced Renamer 3.87, Windows 10 x64... I am trying to write a script to sort photos and videos to uniquie but standardized folders and names as follows: YYYY // YYYY-MM-YY // YYYY-MM-DD hh-mm-ss Country State City CamerMake CameraModel MD5[...hash...].EXT The idea is to clean up doublets this way. All works pretty fine, but some MOV files have problems creating a MD5, SHA1 or SHA256 hash checksum. I do get a "Ungültiger tag" error, which translates to "invalid tag" error. // Add MD5 hash code to fileName if ( app.parseTags( '<MD5>' ) ) { // if ( item.md5Exists == true ) { fileName = fileName + " MD5[" + app.parseTags( '<MD5>' ) + "]"; } Unfortunately the error handling does not work at this point and I really don't see ANY reason why a file should not have a hash checksum at all? I also tried using item.md5 but it seems to end in an error too. I also tried adding the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 tags using the GUI only, but the result is identical. Is that a bug? Any idea how to work around this? Cheers Axel |

Hi I was wondering if there was a way to easily remove word/s between [ ] such as using regx or patterns?
For example I have a movie that when I first originally named it I had Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory [40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition] (1971) Now when I include that movie in the list of other movies I just want that movie (and others like it) to be renamed like this Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory [] (1971) |

Hi there! Saw this requested in an earlier (and now locked) post, but I don't see that this feature was ever added. It looks like the tool supports MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 renaming -- which is great -- but it would be awesome if we could also use the CRC32 naming convention as well. Makes for better viewing of long lists of files in the explorer window.
Love the app! -RGamer- |

Hello,
I have found couple of old posts and unfortunately with no solution. And I can't reply to those posts. I have files with different file name lengths and extensions. I want to move those files by creating folders for each file with file name and extension. Example: File-1.jpg moved to folder File-1.jpg\File-1.jpg File-2.pdf moved to folder File-2.pdf\File-2.pdf I have tried <Substr:1:300> command but it creates a folder with a file name without the extension. Is there a way to include extension in the folder name? |

Hello everyone, I'm about to despair ...
When importing videos from the GoPro, the creation date changes to the time of import. That's why I start a batch as follows: a) to read out the correct creation date b) change the name to the creation date https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mRk9D-4swFLN2G7 laqgEFHgCzXop5SqH/view?usp=sharing There are then always 2 hours more in the name than in the EXIF. https://drive.google.com/file/d/116Tvh8qvS9hfrfb lNSwKo9YuCPEwD-v7/view?usp=sharing How can I fix this? Many thanks for your help. Best regards Terry |

I have a computer with Windows 10 and two monitors. I configured the Windows taskbar to only display the windows open in that monitor. When the program is used in a computer with multiple monitors and these settings, the icon of the program will be shown only on the taskbar of the main monitor instead of the proper monitor. Maybe there is some missing configuration to comply with what Windows is expecting for this function to work properly.

Hi, kim, can you support rename in place? (maybe via buffer or something
For example, I have 3 files (1.txt/2.txt/3.txt), rename rules below return error 1.txt -> 2.txt // error file existed 2.txt -> 3.txt // error file existed 3.txt -> 4.txt // valid However all rules are valid when renaming using Total Commander It automatically solved said problem and returns 2.txt/3.txt/4.txt in one run I don't know how it did it, maybe quietly move to a temp folder and move back or something Can advanced renamer support this feature too please? It's very convenient for photos/documents handling |

There's a "edit filename" mode in Total Commander, which is super convenient for quick editing of small amout of file names, similar to "List" method of advanced renamer
I'll show how it works in TC and AR first, then how I wish to improve it File Edit of TC: 1. Select few files in TC then click "rename" button 2. Click "Edit Filename" button, a temporary text file that contains the filename list will be generated by TC and opened with text editor (it can be customized by user) 3. Now you can edit filename list directly with your trustful editor, save and close the temporary file when you're done 4. Click yes to load the change of filename list temporary file File Edit (List method) of Advanced Renamer: 1. Select 1 file and right click it to open AR, then drag target files into it. Because AR doesn't support single instance and I don't have the permission to add context menu on company PC 2. Add batch method "List" 3. Click "populate list" 4. Click "Yes" 5. Copy all content in the text box and paste them to my trustful text editor 6. Edit filenames, then paste back when I'm done 7. Few more tedious actions like close my text editor, and click "no" when it ask me what to do when being closed with unsaved content As I showed above, AR can "edit name" with combined actions, but kind of unclean and tedious Kim, could you please tweak the "list" a little to support direct "edit name" mode? For example 1. Add "edit name" button to "List" method, when user click it, generate temporary file of filename list and open it with editor (notepad.exe as default and can be changed in setting) 2. Add "load" button which is only enabled when said temporary file created. When user click it, fill text box with the temp file content 3. Remove unnecessary confirm dialog or make it optional in settings :) |

Hello,
I'm trying to rename some of my soundtracks. But I'm having these encoding issues with Japanese titles as seen in this image: https://postimg.cc/1nJ2rQ6m I saw on the internet that apparently ExifTool supports UTF-8. I hope if that's not too much of a problem if you can fix this error in a later version of the program. Also I'm using the latest version of the program. Thanks in advance. |

Hi Kim and congratulations for a great programme.
I am setting up my first preset which has several consecutive methods in it. It would be very helpful for troubleshooting and adjusting presets to different source filenames, to see a summary of the action and position in the top bar of each method item when collapsed,, for example: "+1: Timestamp Created,Modified; Filename pattern" "+2: Add <ExifTool:MediaCreateDate>; 1" "+3: Remove 2, -1" (for remove count 2, starting at 1 backwards) "+4: Add "-"; 5" "+5: Add "-"; 8" "+6: Replace " ","_"; 1st" "+10: Add " (<ExifTool:Duration>)"; -0" (for position 0, backwards) "+11: Replace "_","h"; 2nd" Even just a simplified version, showing just the first component, would save trawling through several to find what needs to be changed! (I have supported a similar request for showing preset names at https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=11955) Many thanks for your consideration of this. :) version 3.88 Vicki |

I have added the exif tags "'<ExifTool:Title>'" and then "(<ExifTool:Duration>)" into filenames.
I want to change the duration format from "0_00_00" to "0h00m00". (Note: this same format could also be in the added Title!) I tried using the replace box, but there are an unknown number of underscores in the imported Titles, so the position of the underscore cannot be set using the 1st/2nd box from the start. It could be set from the end, if there was a backwards tick box? Or is there another way to achieve this please? Many thanks, Vicki (v3.88) |

Hello,
Just for thought... say that I have 515 movie files all in one folder. Just 515 mkv, mp4, avi... files all jammed into one "E:/Movie" folder. But I need each of these files placed into separate folders of the same name. So "E:/Movies/Citizen Kane.avi" now moves into "E:/Movie/Citizen Kane/Citizen Kane.avi" Is this possible with Advanced Renamer? |

In the user guide explanation for the SUBSTR tag, I see this:
The parameters don't have to be numeric indexes, they can also be text strings to search for in the filename. Example of use: <Substr:ki:an> will return "ng m" for "The walking man.txt". Is there a way to get the Substr tag to extract a regular expression match in the filename? I am figuring out how to do this using a Script but it would be nice to be able to extract a substring using regex and place it at a specific location using the Add method and the Substr tag. |

I have been tagging some files with F-Stop from android and it creates a XMP file as a side car to the original file.
Is it possible to rename the original image/movie file with the <ExifTool:Subject> from its side car (XMP)? How do we go about doing that? |

Is it possible to provide a new file name for images based on: 1) the date the image was taken and 2) numbering restarting with each date change and skipping at a predetermined interval?
Here's an example of the proposed renaming: Current File Name Date Taken Proposed Name Scan 81.jpeg 9/12/1930 8:15 AM 19300912 001.jpeg Scan 58.jpeg 9/12/1930 1:31 PM 19300912 003.jpeg Scan 60.jpeg 9/12/1930 1:31 PM 19300912 005.jpeg Scan 5.jpeg 9/12/1933 7:02 AM 19330912 001.jpeg Scan 4.jpeg 9/12/1933 7:03 AM 19330912 003.jpeg Scan 6.jpeg 9/12/1933 7:03 AM 19330912 005.jpeg 20210910 Scan 3.jpeg 9/12/1936 7:05 AM 19360912 001.jpeg 20210910 Scan 32.jpeg 9/12/1936 7:09 AM 19360912 003.jpeg |

Advanced Renamer will get stuck in an infinite error loop at the Start Renaming dialog if the drive has 0 bytes free.
All buttons will lead to an error dialog popup. There is no way to exit the program at this point. On another note - I absolutely love Advanced Renamer! It's worth every penny. Thank you for your hard work and constant updates! |

Since scripting utilizes JavaScript (SpiderMonkey's implementation) I was half and half expecting prompt() or window.prompt() to work.
So the question is: is user input supported here and if so, how? |

I have a folder of images with names like the following...
red car - 123456.jpg green truck 123456.jpg blue boat-123456.jpg yellow motorcycle -456789.png black bicycle - 456789.png white tricycle 456789.png I first need to remove everything but 10 rightmost characters. Obviously this will fail because I would wind up with 3 images named 123456.jpg and 3 named 456789.jpg which is not allowed. To address this, I would like to add a caret "^" plus a sequence number to end up with the following... 123456^1.jpg 123456^2.jpg 123456^3.jpg 456789^1.jpg 456789^2.jpg 456789^3.jpg I've not been able to determine how to use the Remove function to remove characters after the ten rightmost characters. I imagine that I need to use the Replace function as well but I suck at RegEx so I am humbly begging for assistance :) Any help is greatly appreciated! |

hi all
I tried all the date fields that I found including the image tag date fields, but I could not find the one I really need. Ursprung (source?) Auhfnahmedatum (capture date?). see print screen? https://imgshare.io/image/screenshot-2021-09-25- 112622.pomiO9 Is it possible with Advanced renamer, if so what variable would it be and if not, does anyone now how this would be possible with e.g. powershell? many thanks. chris |

Hello guys and thank you for such a great program. I`m using a synology nas with photos app that is managing the newer photos taken with phone using this format IMG_20210914_151014.jpg
With Advanced Renamer I managed to do this using IMG_<Year Modified><Month Modified><Day Modified>_<Hour Modified><Min Modified><Sec Modified> but is not the correct date like in exif creation date. If I`m using Creation is also incorrect. How can I use exif info but to have the same output like above? Because using IMG_<ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> I`m not getting the desired name. Second question is for format type. What should I use to have IMG_ for image types and MOV_ for movies (.mp4 .mov etc) ? A little edit: after using “Date original” on program data and IMG_<Img Year><Img Month><Img Day>_<Img Hour><Img Min><Img Sec> is getting some correct results but on many images I don`t have any dates, and using exif tool for those images for example the FileModifyDate is 2016:12:26 13:45:01+02:00 and FileCreateDate is 2021:09:28 13:42:37+03:00. There is no original date or Taken date on them. My third question is how can I use something like if Date original exists, use method if not use FileModifyDate ? |

Hello,
I have a folder of files, some of the filenames contain a exclamation mark (!) which I want to remove, easy. However I want to do this from a batch file (also easy), but only want to process files containing an exclamation mark (!). I have everything working except adding the "Item Mask". I have tried the -msk *!*.* in the batch file (and every combination I can think of), but I cant get AREN to select only files containing a !. In a batch file (or cmd) "dir *!*.*" gives me the desired results. Sample code: "C:\Program Files\Advanced Renamer\arenc.exe" -e C:\RenRemoveExclamation.aren -t files -p "%~dp0" -msk *!*.* -o filename -m rename Where am I going wrong? I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing. Thanks. BTW *!*.* works in the "Filename Mask" when adding to the app. |

Hi guys,
I am trying to sort out thousands of pictures om our taking on few different cameras and my phone. Traveling through Australia, you don't have constant coverage, so your phone changes it's location when on the signal, but that's usually nowhere at the real spot, with only one of my cameras having GPS chip. So I started with one folder form 2009 and converted all the pictures in Advanced Renamer by the originally taken time from Exif, so my new file name is yyyy_MM_dd hh_mm_dd_ss_originalfilename_devicetaken and that's it to sort it all out. But I have some movies MOV, which still have Exif, but in different form and the data of the original file are in three section there, so even if I knew that I can change them, will I have to change all of them? This old camera was badly set up and the pictures are 6:39:11 sec backwards. There is no way of changing this in the file name in this program or, actually anywhere else, if I am not mistaken, as a batch rename. And that's only beginning of my work. So I believe, it could be easily done by the javascript, but instead learning the whole thing, could I found anyone to write me the script which we could also publish? The original Exif of my video I can send later. Thank you very much, regards, Sidney |

Hey Guys, I have been testing the Advanced Renamer for a few weeks. Everything was going well, but now the App tells me that the file name is to long and won't do any operations.
This is a false error, for I am testing a file name "TheTextFile.srt" and I have placed in multiple locations, including my desktop on Windows 10, and I still get the error. I purchased the license since I like the App and thinking this would resolve the problem, but no success for me. I tried to email the developer, but the when I click the "email me" in the support section of this site, link, it tries to open MS outlook, which I do not have set up. I believe in any support site there should be a contact form, not a link where you have to have software like outlook set up. Can anybody help me, please? Thanks. |

Hi,
aren is a great tool. But I have meanwhile a lot of methods and it would be helpful for me to add a comment, which helps me to remember the purpose of the method, e.g. Method: [^\w0-9-_+!?,;#] Comment: Helps to eliminate hebraic characters from filename If it is already possible - thanks for a hint :-) If not, I would like to put it as a suggestion on the wishlist ;-) Regards, Wolfgang |

Hello. I have a batch of files to rename. All of them are formatted like so;
[Abc] Name (Xyz) {Unwanted Text} I'd like to rename them all, removing the part within {curly brackets}. Anyone know how I can go about this? Substring is close, but I need to end at the first instance of a Curly Bracket instead of just at a static end point. |

Ich bekomme es einfach nicht hin.
Ich wollte eine Reihe Bilder umbenennen und zwar in der Art, daß ich einen Teil des Namens verschiene aber damit komme ich nicht zurecht. Hier der Beispieldateiname und hier so soll es dann aussehen IMG_20200120_131421.jpg 20200120_IMG_131421.jpg habe schon lange versucht, komme aber nicht weiter damit. Rein manuell kein Problem unter Umbenennen die ersten 4 Stellen ausschneiden und nach dem 2ten _ einfügen. Jedoch das 50 oder mehrere Male durchführten ist nicht so das Wahre |

I often rename many thousands of files in a batch and want to double-check if the maybe 20 filenames affected by a minor change will be rename correctly. But I need to scroll through the whole list of files to find the ones affected (listed in bold). If you could add a button to show only the items that will affected/changed it would be such a time saver.
Thanks! |

Hi,
I want to randomly number a bunch of files. I have seen around many people mentioning the <rand:min:max> tag which works good in an interactive way but I would like to use it in a command line and since I have to manually modify the max to my items count each time, I was wondering if there is a way of doing something like this: <rand:1:<Num Items>> (I have seen some posts mentioning pre-batch scripts but I would prefer to not go there) Thanks :) |

Hi,
Can someone please help me. I want to move a group of files to a folder and keep same file name. Basically use the name of file before "_ddmmyyyy" to create a folder for that file and move all same group file to that folder. example: file1_ddmmyyy xxxxxxxx.jpg (where is ddmmyyyy is random day, date, year) file1_ddmmyyy xxxxxxxx.jpg (where is ddmmyyyy is random day, date, year) file2_ddmmyyy xxxxxxxx.jpg (where is ddmmyyyy is random day, date, year) file2_ddmmyyy xxxxxxxx.jpg (where is ddmmyyyy is random day, date, year) move all files above to file1 and file2 folders.

I ran into a problem when renaming large video files that used exiftool tags. Some of the tags wouldn't be read and when using the exiftool from within Advance Renamer I'd get the an error:
"End of processing at large atom (LargeFileSupport not enabled)" You can enable large file support using exiftool normally, but there's no direct way within Advanced renamer to add arguments to the command or change settings. I did find a solution though. You can use a normal Exif Tool Config file with advancedrenamer. All you have to do is add a ".ExifTool_config" to the program folder where ARen.exe is installed (usually C:\Program Files\Advanced Renamer\). The ExifTool website has more details on how to setup a config file and provides an example on their page. For my specific problem of large file support, all I had to do was create an empty config file and add the following lines: %Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Options = ( LargeFileSupport => 1, ); If you use the example config from the ExifTool website, you can just add the above code to the end of the document or find the "%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Options" section and add "LargeFileSupport => 1," into the list of other configured options. I hope this helps for anyone having large file problems. |

Simple question
With images and videos from the same camera: Should <Video Date Hour> out of video produce the same result as <Img Hour> out of image file when both the video and image were captured at the same time? Previously when the camera was not set DST, <Img Hour> was an hour behind the value of <Video Date Hour> whether that was due to DST or not I don't know! I have a very complex issue that's almost too complex to easily explain, but an answer to the above will aid me greatly. Thanks |

I build a routine to rename my pictures base on a <given name>-<date>-<RndNumberScript>.
Would it be possible to provide the renaming engine with <Given name> as a command line argument that I could then use in my renaming process? Maybe something along the lines of <CmdLineArg1> that I could use in NewName or other similar functions. |

DXO Photolab creates a sidecar file with the original filename including extension, and then adds a 'dop' extension to that.
Example: original file: "image.jpg" sidecar file: "image.jpg.dop" I would like to rename some of my image files, and the associated dop files as well, however the Pair Renaming option is not recognizing these as pairs. The dop files need to have the same name as the image file, or Photolab will not associate them. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Hello! Is it possible to implement such an idea?
I have a folder that contains subfolders. Some of the subfolders contain duplicate files. I need to implement a search for duplicates in these subfolders and rename them using the pattern "_ <Subfolder name>". At the same time, the rest of the files in the subfolders should not be affected. It was just as great if the program could create the same subfolders by name in a separate folder and move the renamed duplicates into them. I am dealing with 20,000+ photos. An example of files without renaming: === Folder "Example" -Subfolder "Example2" - "file.jpg" - "file2.jpg" - Subfolder "Example3" - "file.jpg" - "file3.jpg" === Final: -Subfolder "Example2" - "file_Example2.jpg" - "file2.jpg" -Subfolder "Example3" - "file_Example3.jpg" - "file3.jpg" === Or, for the program to transfer the renamed duplicates to another folder, keeping their subfolders: - Folder "Example4" - Subfolder "Example2" - "file_Example2.jpg" - Subfolder "Example3" - "file_Example3.jpg" Thank you in advance for your feedback. |

Hello, thanks for stopping by to read my questions. I have an ambitious/complex renaming project that I cannot figure out by myself, being new to regular expressions. Multiple operations need to be performed on a set of files.
First, I want to: +++ Add a phrase to files with a specific filetype +++ I have a bunch of files with two different file extensions. Files with filetypeB should always get or have a specific phrase at the beginning, filetypeA should not. The names of the files are something like this: food_ milk & éclairs 3.filetypeA SpecificPHRASE_stringofwords[Hello] & über! V2.filetypeB FiletypeB should start with a specific phrase (always the same one with lower and uppercase letters) followed by an underscore at the beginning, example: SpecificPHRASE_ If a filetypeB file does not have the phrase, I want the renamer to add it. But if it is there, the addition should be skipped. It should never be applied to filetypeA files. EDIT: I have figured out a way to check if the phrase exists and to add it, also removing double entries such as SpecificPHRASE_SpecificPHRASE, and worked out that I can give the batch a filemask filter so only that filetype will be affected using the Replace Method with regular expressions. Text to replace: (SpecificPHRASE_)* Text to replace with: SpecificPHRASE_ Regular Expression option checked. So I guess that part is solved, unless there is a better way to do this. +++ Remove/convert special characters +++ The second thing I want to do is remove/convert special characters in all filenames. The files may contain special characters such as @, ! &, ê, ä, ß, symbols, or letters from other alphabets such as Cyrillic. 1. Any Symbols like © or ♥ should be either removed entirely or converted to underscores. 2. I want the filenames to only consist of: Letters (Aa-Zz), numerals 0 to 9, _ underscores and - dashes. 3. Any punctuation, brackets, and empty spaces should be converted to underscores, but existing dashes should remain untouched. 4. Special letters should be converted into plain letters, for example, é becomes e. 5. Characters like @ should become "At", & should become "And", ° should be "Degrees". I already figured out how to solve the problem for 3 and 5. using the list replace method. This feature makes conversions of these characters into plain text very easy. I also worked out a replacement containing [^\w\d_-] using regular expressions and it keeps only regular letters, numbers, _ and -, but also removes the special letters completely instead of replacing them with plain ones. But if I go and put every special character and symbol into a list manually especially from other alphabets, it'll take forever. Is there a way to convert the special characters into a plain English alphabet? so, a Cyrillic Ф would become f, an ê would become e, and so on. Any help is very much appreciated. I plan on creating a batch file to automate this, so if this takes multiple steps/cannot be put into one single operation, that would be okay. Edit2: (I am trying to work on/solve the issue as best as I can): I found a javascript script that can normalize accent characters here: https://ricardometring.com/javascript-replace-sp ecial-characters but I have no idea how to add the code to work in advanced renamer (a simple copy/paste into the script method field did not work and I have no idea how to code in js). Maybe someone here knows how to get it to work? |

I everyone
I'mtrying to rename MP4 video files. As soon as I try to add files to rename I have a crash. If I change the MP4 extensions with *.VLC the renaming works properly... Could you help me? thanks aris |

Hi,
I want to rename in my folder the folling file pairs on my SOny cam: [original] C0001.MP4 C0001.MP4.modd C0001.MP4.moff [new] 20200415_120024.MP4 20200415_120024.MP4.modd 20200415_120024.MP4.moff I found a method in the forum whiched showed how to replace the .MP4 name to get the file pairs identified. But somehow this is not working: "You can achieve the desired result in two passes, without using a script. Make sure that "Pair renaming" is enabled and load all your files into the list First Pass: Remove ".MP4" from the filenames using "Replace"... Text to be replaced: ".MP4" Replace with: blank Apply to: "Name" (The .MP4 EXTENSION will not be removed) Run the batch and reload all the files back into the list by selecting Add files: "All items" in the "Progress" window. Now ARen will recognize the .modd & .moff files as file pairs of the .mp4 files (since all three filenames are now identical) and so they will be renamed to match the corresponding .MP4 files. Second Pass: 1) New Name method... New Name: <Video Date Year><Video Date Month><Video Date Day>_<Video Date Hour><Video Date Min><Video Date Sec>.MP4 Apply to: Name (This will leave the .MP4 filename containing a redundant ".MP4". 2) Replace method (in the same batch)... Text to be replaced: "MP4" replace with: blank Apply to: "Extension" (The .MP4 extension will be deleted whereupon the ".MP4" in the filename will become the new extension - the .modd & .moff files will remain unaffected). Run the second batch and all done." I struggle already on loading the files for a bunch of folders. If I use "add" per subfolder the .modd and .moff are added and with "Pair rename" AR identifies .moff as pair, but not.modd. I I want to add all files by the directory structure with "pair rename" active only the .mp4 files are added but not the other files. Can somebody help me how I can add all files incl the other extensions to run the mentioned script? |

Advanced Renamer always opens to one folder, to import files, no matter how often I go to another one.
How do we get the program to open the last folder in which we looked? Or change the behaviour to open any other folder...? |

I need to rename my files (bigbob#10.png) to be named as bigbob1of5#10.png, bigbob2of5#10.png (etc)
When i duplicate the file of BigBob#10.png (original file name) Windows names it as (bigbob#10 - copy.png) and (bigbob#10 - copy (2).png) I have to have the #10 just before the png. There are 5 images in the set, and mutiple sets of images in the folder. For example, the second set is: bigmama#10.png I need to do the same with these files. BigMama1of5#10.png The naming will be 1of5, 2of5, (etc) for each set of 5 images. Have hundreds to rename. Ive tried for several hours the different renaming options, but i finally figured out that i need help. Thanks so kindly for directions or a script. Just starting to learn about scripts. Scott |

I'm trying to do something in Advanced Renamer 3.88 very similar to what Joey was trying to do in https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=11652 , basically replacing one set of prefixes in file names with another.
When I tried the scripts listed by David Lee in his answer to Joey, I got this error message for every file: Invalid script: Invalid script: uncaught: 'parse error (line 4)' David's advice includes: ...and in the main script window: match = item.name.match(/(.*\[)(.*)(\].*)/); isbn = replace[match[2]]; if (isbn) return match[1] + isbn + match[3]; I noticed that the main script window puts function (index, item) { before any code pasted there, and puts } after. What else should I be doing to take this into account? |

Bonjour, ce message est rédigé en français : j'espère que google traduira correctement ;-)
J'ai plusieurs séries de photos prises en timelapse pendant plus de 7 jours. Les noms de fichier sont de type 20211011090043.jpg 20211011091044.jpg 20211011092044.jpg .... (avec dans l'ordre l'année, le mois, le jour, l'heure, la minute, et les secondes.) Je voudrais modifier uniquement les noms de fichier (et pas les dates de création!) en mesurant le temps qui s'est écoulé depuis la première photo sous le format jour/ heure/minute Jour0-00h-00min.jpg Jour0-00h-10min.jpg Jour0-00h-20min.jpg ..... Jour2-00h-00min.jpg Je pense qu'il faut utiliser un script pour : - récupérer le temps de la première photo - récupérer le temps de la photo à renommer, - Calculer la différence - renommer la photo avec la différence entre le deux Mais je ne maitrise pas l'utilisation du script ... Merci de votre aide ! |

I would appreciate a feature to create names of my video files based on file size and preferably also on how long the file clip is (min.sec)
Since I have a lot of files that have very similar names (mov001..mov002 .. end so on :-() I would be very happy if it were possible to add to each file the previously mentioned information automatically . Is this someone who would be able to become possible? Adding only creative dates is not enough for my needs. |

Hello,
I'm sorry if I'm being completely stupid, but is there any way to add artist and album information to files? I can add the columns for artist and albums, but can not seem to change the information: i.e. Select files and add artist or album info to many files. I can only change the file name. |

Hi. I'm brand new to this program. It does look very advanced, and I've yet to find out what it can do.
I just realized that I don't have a first clue of what to do. I'm having a slight, to put it mildly, problem with ca. 800 folders that I don't wish to rename individually. They're folders containing movies, and once upon a time I was stupid, and set up this movie folder format in Radarr. For some reason, at the time, I found movie.title(year) appealing, but some time later I thought it looked awful, so I changed it back. Problem then was that once they were imported Radarr handled them just fine, but not when importing. This wasn't always the case. For the most part it would find them and import them just fine. Some time later, more than a year later, it's not that lenient anymore, or I just had some bad luck when importing them after I re-arranged my disks (Got DrivePool now) and did a huuuge import. It found pretty much all movies, as it would seem. But evidentially not. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of folders that aren't matched in the database. Radarr imports by default at Movie.Title (year) so I need to find all these and put that extra space character in them. From what I've seen here in the forum, it boils down to some code which is inserted somewhere. I've got some exploration to do about that part. I've seen people asking about expressions to use and some have replied with ditto. This is probably what I'd need, so any help in the matter would be much appreciated. Thank you. |

Hi,
I see ways to rename either files or folders; or to input files and then input folders and after that rename them all. But I am wondering if there is a way to simply rename all files and subfolders in one folder w/o the need to add files and folders separately. I would like to add them all in one go. Can that be done, pls? Many thanks in advance for any kind help! Best, :) K |

I am trying to copy an image library to a new location and cleanup some unneeded files.
Is it possible, within a script, to skip files based on certain criteria, ie certain files in the list would not be copied. In my case I have a list which includes file pairs of JPG & RAW, where I only want to copy the RAW file, but other cases in the same selection list where I only have RAW files, and some that are only JPG. So I want to skip JPGs if there is also a RAW file, and copy the JPG if there is only a JPG. I have created a Pre Batch Script that scans the list and creates a list of JPGs that should be ignored, now I need to work out how to handle that in the main Script method. |

Is there an easier way to swap a filename such as:
"Justin Bieber & Ariana Grande" "Madonna & Britney Spears" to "Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber" "Britney Spears & Madonna" where it's sorted by each artist's name alphabetically. I use swap, but then have to manually look at each filename to make sure it's sorted alphabetically by name 1 and name 2. Otherwise, it will swap filenames that are sorted correctly. |

Hello All,
Wonder if someone can help me - I have tried to search through the forum, but can not find a similar issue :-(!. My problem is, have over a 1000 files - so doing it manually will be pain :-(. So I have files with the following structures: aaaaa - bbbbbbbbbb 01-01-21.txt aaaaaaaaaa - bbbbbbbbb - ccccccc 01-01-21.txt aaaaaaaa - bbbbb - cccc 01-01-21.txt aa - bbbb 01-01-21.txt aaaa - bbbbbb.txt I want to be able to move the aaaaa's to before the date or if there is no date right to end of the file. So they end up like this: bbbbbbbbbb - aaaaa - 01-01-21.txt bbbbbbbbb - ccccccc - aaaaaaaaaa - 01-01-21.txt bbbbb - cccc - aaaaaaaa - 01-01-21.txt bbbb - aa - 01-01-21.txt bbbbbb - aaaa - .txt I have tried many combinations of Move and Backwards but just can't get it to work. I am probably doing something really stupid. Thanks! |

I am looking for tips on how to optimize the performance so that the AdvRenamer doesn't go non-responding on me every time I try to point it to a directory of files. I noticed the maximum number of files by default is 25,000.. and the directory I am trying to point this to has less than that number as well. It always flies through 'adding files' but then consistently locks up about 1/3 of the progress bar for Analyzing files and using less than 1% of the cpu and less than 60mb of ram.
My system is new enough to run Windows 11 (though I am using Windows 10 fully patched) with a Gen 7 i7 and 16 gigs of ram. Yet it keeps locking up on not very large directories. What can I do to optimize the performance so it can handle this as the number I am trying is relatively small 1023) and I really was hoping to be able to process really large size batches. I tried shutting off auto-test to see if that made a difference ( it did not ) as well as not loading up the template before hand after cleanly starting the program. In smaller direcoties with no sub-folders i can get the file list to load (slowly) and then if I load up a template it then analyzes the files AGAIN but at least doesnt lock up so far,, Any help / thoughts? |

After adding files, is there a way to view only the files that will have a "new filename"? Instead of scrolling through all files that are bolded and greyed out items?
Also, for duplicate filenames I set to "Name Collision Rule: Append Incrementing Number". Is there a way to start the numbering on the first file? Example: If three filename are the same it appends as follows: Filename Filename 001 Filename 002 Instead, can it append to: Filename 001 Filename 002 Filename 003 ... Also, when I have a duplicate folder name, can they merge into the same folder without appending in incrementing numbers? |

Hello!
I am having trouble using multiple script methods, or one script method + one non-script method. When I have these methods: + 1 : Replace + 2 : Script Where "+ 2 : Script": function(index, item) { name = item.newBasename; // name.replace ... etc. return name; The effects of the "+ 1 : Replace" operation are lost. Only the "+ 2 : Script" operations persist. The same thing happens these methods: + 1 : Script + 2 : Script The effects of the "+ 1 : Script" operations are lost, and the "+ 2 : Script" operations persist. Not surprising, maybe, given the attribute's moniker: "newBasename". However, replacing "newBasename" with "newName" creates problems. The "+ 2 : Script" operation now adds extra string bits to the filename. Even if "+ 2 : Script" doesn't actually do anything: function(index, item) { name = item.newName; return name; Results: Foldername: "_test. it's a date [one] mix" New Foldername: "_test. it's a date [one] mix. it's a date [one] mix" Questions: Is it possible to use non-script + script methods? Is it possible to use multiple script methods? Should I be operating on the "newBasename" or "newName" attributes? Thanks. |

Hello out there,
I tried to rename files which look like EJSA_631001_20.jpg - where position 8 to 9 holds the year and 10 to 11 the month EJSA_670001_20.jpg to EJSA_631001-2010-01.jpg - adding year, '-' and month to the filename EJSA_670001-2000-01.jpg Therefore I tried using a script as follows: function(index, item) { var Year=<Substr:8:2>; var Mon=<Substr:10:2>; return item.newName + Year + '-' + Mon; } When trying to run the script I get the error message: Invalid script: uncauhgt: 'parse error line(1)' In a second try I used the following script: function(index.item) { var oName = item.name; var Year=oName.Substr(8,2); var Mon=oName.Substr(10,2); var nName = item.name + Year + '-' + Mon; return nName; } Now I got the message: Invalid post script: uncauhgt: 'undefined not collable (property \x27Substr\x27 of \x27EJSA_631001_20\x27)' Any suggestion how to resolve my problem would be great. Thanks in advance Franz-Georg |

Hi everyone,
I have the following problem; I own quite a lot of file names, but there is a difference that they are with last name first and also with first name first. So now I want to move the part of the filename before the comma to the place for the separators. Here are 2 lines with the file name as it is and as I would like it to be, with a side note that the part before the comma varies greatly of course Old: Baudewyns, Benny - Het madagascar debacle New: Benny Baudewyns - Het madagascar debacle Old: Bateman, Jackie - Dorst New: Jackie Bateman - Dorst There are 2 fixed places it should be based on; A: everything before the comma is the last name B: Before the separator ( - ) the last name must be placed back. If no comma is present, the entire file name should remain. Does anyone know what string I should use to get this done? Thank you in advance. |

I have 3 phones/cameras that have different naming conventions that I would like to maintain.
I have recovered some deleted photos but the filenames are mangled so I want to put them back to the filenames that the phones/cameras would have given them. One phone uses IMG_yyyymmdd_hhmmssSSS.jpg (SSS is subseconds) Another phone uses yyyymmdd_hhmmss.jpg If I load all .JPG files into AdvancedRenamer can I run a script that checks the EXIF model name and if model == "Phone1" then rename with "IMG_" + some EXIF variables and if model == "Phone2" then rename with some EXIF variables I tried using the Script "apply to Name" with name collision rule "Fail" without any EXIF model checks (as a minimal test to rename files) but no matter what I put in the script "return XXXX;" it would not rename anything (the "New Filename" was in grey and always the same as "Filename"). I am clearly missing something, can someone help please? I am using AdvancedRenamer 3.88 on Windows 10 x64 Thanks Darren |

Hello
I have read several forum posts but I don't think I can find the solution to my problem. I want the folder of a series to show in its name the number of chapters it has inside it, and the total weight. An example of an expected result would be: Blindspot - [Temp 5] [Cap-11] [3.43 GB]. Since I know some JS, I try to understand the syntax that the program processes, to be able to create a script, but I can't find a method to enter and read the contents of the folder, to create a counter from item.videoExists ... They are ideas, I would appreciate any help or suggestion |

Hello everyone,
I am quite new to Advanced Renamer and I tried to figure out myself how to rename titles of the following syntax: Seehund, Puma & Co-_Piggelti_ Ahoi (152)-0823709871.mp4 Panda, Gorilla & Co-Panda Gorilla & Co - Kindersegen (6)-0617362046.mp4 Elefant, Tiger & Co-Abschied von Rhani_ (262)-2084236602.mp4 As you can see, the syntax is "Series name" "-" "Episode name" "Episode number in brackets" "-xxxxxxxx" I would like to 1. put a space before and after the hyphen between series name and episode title 2. move the episode number to the beginning of the name (with or without the brackets) 3. remove the trailing identification number after the bracket ("-xxxxx"). Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thank you Alex |

Hi
In command line configuration I want to select all the files except ones that contain the string “processed”. Eg: My_File_Name.txt Selected My_File_Name_processed.txt Not Selected Guess I have to use the Regex item mask, but I have no idea what that Regex must look like. If there is another (and, for Regex dummies, simpler) way to exclude files pls let me know. |

Hi
I have three folders, the second one is being synchronized from the first one. I want to copy the files from the second one to the third one, given a new extension if it does not exist in the third folder - if it does exist, renaming and copying are dropped. An example: Before renaming and copying to the third folder. Folder 1: File1.txt File2.txt. File3.txt File4.txt Folder 2: File1.txt File2.txt. File3.txt File4.txt Folder 3: File1.txt File2.txt. After renaming and copying the content of folder 3 must be: Folder 3: File1.txt File2.txt. File3.new File4.new Any ideas? /Jonas |

If the scripting function is able to read exif values via exifTool, is it then also be possible to write the exif values via exifTool, like this:
item.exifToolValue("CreateDate")= '2022:01:01 12:00:00+02:00' (that is exactly the kind of string I can read from an image) If not, is there a way I can put an exif write function in the scripting? The new write metadata write function needs too much work done by hand. |

Very good to everyone. I'm Zirrog, I'm new to this forum, but I hope I can help you. Although today I come for help.
Advanced Renamer has saved my life to sort tons of photos and videos. My choice of filenames for videos has been as follows: <Video Date Year>-<Video Date Month>-<Video Date Day> - <Video Date Hour>.<Video Date Min>.<Video Date Sec>. This gives me, for example, the following filename (which allows me to sort all videos by filename): 2020-12-29 - 19.57.23 Without further ado, my problem is with the videos and live actions taken with an iPhone. Strangely the correct creation date appears only in Exiftool, in the "CreationDate" field. This forces me to only be able to use the following advanced renaming command "<ExifTool:CreationDate>". This gives me a filename like the following: 2022_01_09 18_25_13+01_00 My intention is to be able to change that name and have it stay as I have all the others, that is, as follows: 2022-01-09 - 18.25.13 I have tried to solve it by myself and search for it in this forum, but it has been impossible for me, I hope you can help me because this is driving me crazy. Thanks a lot! |

name = 'AZ az 09!@#$%^&*()_+';
clean = /[^\pL\d]+/g; result = name.replace(clean, ''); return result Example: 'AZ az 09!@#$%^&*()_+' Expect: 'AZ az 09' But: 09 |

Script belongs to @davidlee.
Pre-batch Script: var filesInFolder = {}; Main Script: folder = app.parseTags("<DirName:1>"); if(num = filesInFolder[folder]) num++; else num = 1; filesInFolder[folder] = num; return item.name + " " + ("00" + num).slice(-3); My examples: Less than 9 files Old_Filename_21589 ... Old_Filename_56387 Less than 99 files Old_Filename_63215 ... Old_Filename_87145 Less than 999 files Old_Filename_42589 ... Old_Filename_36999 Expect: Less than 9 files Filenames_1 ... Filenames_9 Less than 99 files Filenames_01 ... Filenames_99 Less than 999 files Filenames_001 ... Filenames_999 There are various numbers of files in folders. In this case using 'return item.name + " " + ("00" + num).slice(-3);' for less than 9 files is not necessary. Now I have to modify the line of code like this 'return item.name + " " + ("" + num).slice(-1);' for less than 9 files. And for folders that have less than 99 files. Now I have to use the line of code like this 'return item.name + " " + ("0" + num).slice(-2);' and so on. My question: Is it possible to use this '( app.parseTags("<Inc Nr:1>") )' instead of '("00" + num).slice(-3)' in Main Script? (Sorry about my poor English.) |

i have a list of entries that i want to remove from the filename and have been using the "remove pattern" function as of now with name1 \ name 2\ etc with the \ as the separator.
This list is getting very long now so i was wondering if the import function would be something to use instead like a CSV database, so i could update that and Advance Renamer would take it from there ? |

Hi,
I have two filters to change the timestamp of pictures, both in my list after another. I have two pictures in my files list (and some others): IMG-20190301-WA0002.jpg threema-20210628-230543822.jpg And my both timestamp rules are: IMG-<Year><Month><Day>-WA threema-<Year><Month><Day>-<Hour><Min><Sec> Both rules alone work (I want to adjust the create time). If I activate both, the filelist gets red, and nothing works. |

I must be missing something. I've searched and all I've come up with is this - which doesn't work:
https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=147 These are all files with the same name - intentionally - but that exist in different folders. I want to rename all of them to "folder.jpg." But I get this: "Possibility of multiple files with the same name" I don't understand why Advanced Renamer wants to mind my business and not do what I'd like, which is to rename the files? Any help? Thanks!! |

I have 10,000 JSON files to which I need to add a line of code to it. Am I able to do with ADR?
The json file says: "image": "ipfs://bafybeibdlplmscehh746iufxeao7b35bljdfu575cf4/9971.png" I need to add: "animation_url": ".../9971.mp4" Can I do this with ADR? BTW.. this program has given me years back to my life. I've bought two biz copies of it just to help support. Seriously, years back to me. Scott |

I have a huge list of files that are named as:
My file name #001 Some subject.mkv My file name #002 A different title.mkv And i'd like to insert a dash after the 3 digits, e.g. My file name #001 - Some subject.mkv My file name #002 - A different title.mkv There's nothing similar that I can use for find/replace. What method could do this? |

I have forgotten the syntax for finding and removing data delimited by an "_".
Example - Christina Young_Set_Taste of Summer - I need to strip everything up to and including the second underscore I had a script and lost it and now just cannot remember how to do it. Maybe turning 73 changed my brain to mush. Thanks in advance Christina Young |

Is it possible to use the renumber funktion to number files like 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3 ?
So basicly use a skip of 1/4, if this makes sense. If you have another idea how to do it, please let me know. |

Hello,
I am using the replace rename feature but getting mixed results. I have a folder structure with four numeric digits in front of each folder description, and multiple sub-folders also in the same format. I am trying to use the replace function to change this number in all folders and sub folders. There are two issues: 1. The application seems to change the root/higher level folders first and then cant find the lower level/sub folders (As the name has changed) . Is it possible for the software to always start with the lowest level subfolders and work upwards? 2. The application is duplicating folders with the new name, rather than just renaming the existing folders. All folders have write access. Any help would be much appriciated. Regards, RD |

I have a lot of files, without extensions.
They are all media files, mostly png, jpg, mp4, AAC. I tested with DROID (From The National Archive) if these files can be identified based on file signature. But DROID has no renaming function, because its for analysing, but keeping the files themselves untouched. When I add an extension, like a jpg, the files work as expected. Can I use Advanced Renamer to batch add extensions based on filetype? |

How do I Replace folder name from...?
"- x124 " to "(124x) " NOTES: The "- x124 " could be several characters from start of folder name and is not the same number. It could be "- x92 " or "- x326 " etc., but it normally always has a space after it. So with the the Text to be replaced: field I can use... "- x" and Replace with: field I use... "(" Options Used: Occurrence=1st; Use regular expressions=Ticked; Apply to=Name Ends up renaming that part to "(124 " How do I also place an "x " after the "(124" in the folder name? Does this make sense? |

Hello, is there anyway of replacing several file names with letters? I tried with the REPLACE feature but I want to add the whole list, not just 1.
For example: File names: 1234 4455 2678 2568 1346 The names I want for each file: Persona1 Persona2 Persona3 Persona4 Persona5 So when the program meets file 4455 replace the name with Persona2. Thank you! |

Hello everyone. I have the following issue for a while...
I have a batch of subtitles files that I need to translate all the time for my videos. UI generate these subtitles from this online translator: https://translate-subtitles.com/ It uses google translator to generate up to 109 subtitle languages currently supported by Google. So, that's what I do, I translate my videos to 109 languages via subs. Most subtitles come with a two ISO language code. English, for instance is EN, and the generated subtitle files by the translator comes in the form of "NAME.en" OR "TheTextFile.en" as I named them. That is, the two language code at the end of the file name. Some languages have a 3 LETTER code, and that's where my issue begins. In particular, I am having problem with the Hawaiian.haw language and the Hausa.ha language respectible. The renamer is mixing both files up. Here's what's happening: First, I use two List Methods to rename desired file names, where I first change subtitle file called TheTextfile+extension and then I add a description to the file name (subs). HAWAIIAN--> Text to be replaced: TheTextFile.haw Replace width: change_HAWAIIAN.haw HAUSA--> Text to be replaced: TheTextFile.ha Replace width: change_HAUSA.ha The desired names are: "subs_HAWWIIAN.haw" for Hawaii and subs_HAUSA.ha for Hausa Yet, the raneme is naming both files as: subs_HAUSA.ha for Hausa subs_HAUSA.haw for Hawaii The Renamer gave both files the name Hausa because both files starts with a .ha extension, although the one for Hawaii is is a three letter .haw, but it is till only reading .ha. I played with the Renamer and nothing seems to fix it. I even checked the Case Sensitive Text box and changed the casing for the Hawaiian extension file name to .hAw and still didn't work. I just need both files to be named approximately. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Hello! I am trying to rename files from this format:
02-14-22_2-02-12 AM 02-14-22_2-02-15 AM To this: p1 p2 But if there are 10+ files, running the New Name method with p<Inc Nr:1> renames it to p01, p02, etc., and if there are 100 files, there are two extra zeroes (p001, p002, etc.). Is there a way to make these files rename to p1, p2, etc. without running the renamer twice? Thank you for any help! |

I need to rename ~7k files to according to a new pattern
The old Pattern is: A String of Words vXX.extension, where A String of Words can be anything from 5 alphanumerical characters to 100 alphanumerical characters and vXX is, i.e., v01. There can be multiple files in a folder, but the vXX is not neccessarily increasing by +1, it can skip some numbers and continue at i.e., v01 -> v02 -> v05 … The new pattern should be: A String of Words vXX #XX, where vXX and #XX are the same I have no Idea how I could do this, maybe with a regex, but I don't really know how to use them, so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

Can I place in my renaming method list a way to batch move files in a folder up one folder. Ex. M:\Andre\Photo\Temp To M:\Andre\Photo. This would be the last method after the filenames have been changed. So far, I've only seen one way to move the files. After changing batch mode to Move, specific the exact location to move the files to, to any clicks need. Having a way to move up 1 folder automatically, no matter where the files are, would be great.

Used Advanced Renamer with Windows 11 for a while, bit today it does not start
Has an active line underneath logo but to interface. And from task manager I can choose maximize and then it shows a black screen with just the possibility to minimize or close program. Anyone encountered this? Uninstalled it and tried again, same result |

Hello world,
First of all i have to say that this is an amazing tool, thank you! Second I am having a problem which i cannot figure out after a hours of searching and trying.. hope someone can help me out on this. I am currently on parental leave and wanted to make a video of my firstborn's first 4 months while displaying her age in months & days (or weeks & days, whatever is easiest). Luckily i found this tool which would save me quite some time! Unfortunately, the setup i am looking for is not in the presets. So i started to look around and see what other ways there were to work around this. first the timestamp looked promising with the option for delta date and time, however i could not figure this out (tried to put in the DoB with a minus symbol, but it would give an error). Secondly i tried messing around with 'New name' presets and tried to find a way to use the unixtimestamp and deduct the DoB's unix time stamp and convert it back to days. This sounded doable in my mind until i started googling/searching for how to do this. I tried to comprehend this but i cannot figure javascript out so easily and make something out of it. After some more googling trying to modify a existing script i gave up because it was too much (my programming knowledge is from basic assignments at university (matlab & python). Lastly i gave up and started looking on the forums if perhaps someone else had the same idea and there was a solution for this (should have been my first step, i know). On the forums i came acros another user 'Zaibes' who posted his manual script to do exactly what i was looking for. I was very happy and quickly tried the script unfortunately without any results. The 'New Filename' column doesnt show any change and is greyed out. I thought this might be because of a small error in the script so i started to trace it and see if i can 'fix' this. Tried multiple (probably stupid) stuff, all without results. So after half a day of trying to figure this out my last hope is the forums. Maybe someone can figure out how to achieve my goal? Maybe someone who is familiar with javascript can figure out why the script is not working for me? Thank you in advance! Below is the script i copy pasted from 'Zaibes' post (dating 2020): ---------- function ageDifference(dateString, datePicture) { var dob = new Date(dateString) var datePic = new Date(datePicture); if(datePic < dob) { var tmp = datePic datePic = dob dob = tmp } var datePicYear = datePic.getYear(); var datePicMonth = datePic.getMonth(); var datePicDay = datePic.getDate(); var yearDob = dob.getYear(); var monthDob = dob.getMonth(); var dateDob = dob.getDate(); var age = {}; var ageString = ""; var yearString = ""; var monthString = ""; var dayString = ""; yearAge = datePicYear - yearDob; if (datePicMonth >= monthDob) var monthAge = datePicMonth - monthDob; else { yearAge--; var monthAge = 12 + datePicMonth -monthDob; } if (datePicDay >= dateDob) var dateAge = datePicDay - dateDob; else { monthAge--; var dateAge = 31 + datePicDay - dateDob; if (monthAge < 0) { monthAge = 11; yearAge--; } } age = { years: yearAge, months: monthAge, days: dateAge }; if ( age.years > 1 ) yearString = " years"; else yearString = " year"; if ( age.months> 1 ) monthString = " months"; else monthString = " month"; if ( age.days > 1 ) dayString = " days"; else dayString = " day"; return age.years + yearString + " - " + age.months + monthString + " - " + age.days + dayString; } function isValidDate(dateString) { // First check for the pattern if(!/^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/.test(dateString)) return false; // Parse the date parts to integers var parts = dateString.split("/"); var day = parseInt(parts[1], 10); var month = parseInt(parts[0], 10); var year = parseInt(parts[2], 10); // Check the ranges of month and year if(year < 1000 || year > 3000 || month == 0 || month > 12) return false; var monthLength = [ 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 ]; // Adjust for leap years if(year % 400 == 0 || (year % 100 != 0 && year % 4 == 0)) monthLength[1] = 29; // Check the range of the day return day > 0 && day <= monthLength[month - 1]; } var dateTimeOriginal = ( item.exifToolValue('DateTimeOriginal') == '' ) ? item.exifToolValue('ModifyDate') : item.exifToolValue('DateTimeOriginal') var y_original = dateTimeOriginal.substring(0,4) var m_original = dateTimeOriginal.substring(5,7) var d_original = dateTimeOriginal.substring(8,10) var datePicture = m_original + '/' + d_original + '/' + y_original var firstName = 'Nena' var birthDate = '11/21/2021' var ageString = isValidDate(datePicture) ? ageDifference(birthDate, datePicture) : 'Unknown Age' return firstName + ' - ' + ageString + ' - ' + item.newBasename; |

Hello. I have a method list with about 20 "Replace" methods in it. Does anyone know if there's a way to batch add the text in the "Text to be replaced:" box to the description of each method? I'm lazy and really don't want to rename them all separately. Thanks folks.

I would rather do it in your program... |

I'm trying to find a way to rename files by defining starting words so that anything after those words will fall under the new naming rule. For instance:
A5-05-05A - 5th Floor Enlarged Plans and Interior Elevations - CVIR A5-02-04 - 2nd Floor Enlarged Plans and Interior Elevations - Main ED I would like a rule that would make it so that everything starting with and after "Enlarged" will be able to be renamed to a set phrase. In this case I'd like it to read: A50505A 5th FLR ENLG PLNS A50204 2ND FLR ELNG PLNS This is due to our jurisdiction having naming rules for files uploaded to their online permit system. Some of our sets are over 100 pages and a substantial portion fall under the A5 series. Just looking to find a way to spare our younger staff the "joy" of manually renaming everything! Thanks. |

When renaming several folders, some of them end up with the same name. AR let's me know and says it can't do it. Is there a way to force it? Maybe recognize the folders with the same name and merge them into one?
Ex: folder 1; folder 2; Renaming into just"folder" |

Hallo,
beim umbenennen nutze ich sehr intensiv folgende Variable: <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> Jetzt gibt es immer wieder mal Dateien, die diesen TAG in der Datei nicht haben. Kann ich bei meinen BatchJob eine Bedingung anlegen, wenn <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> nicht vorhanden ist dann nutzte Erstelldatum? Das wäre super. Hat das schon jemand versucht? Eventuell mit Script? Ich sitze gerade schon sehr lange und bekomme es nicht hin. Vielen Dank. VG |

Hiya folks.
I am not sure if I am pushing Advanced Renamer too far, but I was wondering if there's an easy way to get the file names from a file with a script? Let's say I have 8 files: 1.txt, 2.txt 3.txt 4.txt 5.txt 6.txt 7.txt 8.txt And a flat file called datasets.txt with: advanced renamer voyager escalator cheese turnips catapult wumpus Could I append those words from a flat file to the original filename to produce 1 - advanced.txt 2 - renamer.txt 3 - voyager.txt 4 - escalator.txt 5 - cheese.txt 6 - turnips.txt 7 - catapult.txt 8 - wumpus.txt |

Another Replace method with text and numbers:
Cause the original version posted, didn't somehow work out for me: The explanation is simple and good, tho the "dot" (search for any character) not so for me. my problem looked like this: ' blah blah blah 1234 blah.txt ' The solution I came up with after some tweaking: Text to be replaced: (\w+) (\d+) (\w+) added an extra space on the end Then replace with: \1 \3 \2 Also with an extra space added at the end Mark the Use regular expression and apply to name. \w used for the word(s) \d used for the numbers Somehow i needed the space (as for me this work now) I would like to thank the original poster for the insight. -------------- Original post -------------- Text to be replaced: (.+) (.+) (.+) Replace with: \1 \3 \2 Use regular expressions: Tick Quick Summary: Define three groups (that's what the bracket pairs are for). Group 1: '(.+)' - the left group means look for any character (the dot), and repeat at least once (the '+' means one or more). Group 2: '(.+)' - the middle group means the same thing. Group 3: '(.+)' - the right group means the same thing again. However, regex is greedy so Group 1 will continue to grab as much as it can stopping only when there is the absolute minimum left over to satisfy the remainder of '<space> + Group 2 + <space> + Group 3'. This means that Group 1 will contain: Example 1: 'hello my friend, how are you ! -' Example 2: 'God does not play dice - 1926' and leave Groups 2 and 3 respectively as: Example 1: 'Bugs' and 'Bunny' Example 2: 'Albert' and 'Einstein' Then we take the first group and then swap the second and third groups with this: '\1 \3 \2' |

Hi
I have some questions : I have this file name '' 435_BA_182358_21032022_05_1324110.pdf '' and I want it to be renamed '' BA0000182358.pdf '' . the numbers after the letters are always 10. , so " _ " will have to be replaced with so many " 0 " that the numbers become 10. and if there is a way to schedule an automatic. example every 5 minutes to run the program alone. Thanks |

Hi... I'm an old computer fart, going back to TI99's, Comodores, RS80, IBM PC 8088's, etc... Did my share of Basic programming 20+ years ago... I cannot GET MY HEAD around REGULAR expressions... I'm used to IF A then X else Z... (That's a more REGULAR expression than the gobblygook they are callin' REGULAR!)
Okay, I have a couple swimming pools worth of digital images, scanned, cameras, phones, etc... the phones have the dates, and then I've added the dates to the from of some... It's awesome to use this great software to add the date, camera model, and other exif info, by the batch! But, since, Like an idiot, I've gone thru different photos (randomly on a whim) and added dates (before finding AREN).... So, I Simply want this: (THE FORMULA, script, Regex, or is there a section of the numerous settings I've overlooked for this?) I have the exif info, etc. just need the IF A then X else Y portion! IF Filename DOESN'T CONTAIN DATE YET then A (which is typically date, camera model, plus info about the images that I manually add or pull from folders, etc)... IF Filename contains DATE (Year is good nuff) and it'd be the first 4 chars, as in 2005, or 2013 then B, which would be do everything else I specified, EXCEPT THE DATE. Oh Shucks, would it be too hard to add a separate formula for if there's also a CAMERA MODEL??? (If So, I'll work around that... the Date is the biggie) Much Thanks in Advance, Renamers! Stuck in KC |

I’m having a problem with the newer versions of Advanced Renamer.
I have a saved method to append the image timestamp (Date Taken) as a prefix to the filename. It worked fine for versions of Advanced Renamer up to 3.85 but versions 3.87 and 3.88.1 don’t seem to be able to see the image timestamp in the Exif data. Adding the Date Taken column to the Filename pane shows only blanks. So that’s what gets appended to the file name. My work around is to revert to version 3.85 but then it keeps offering updates which I know don’t work. Annoying. The method is a simple one – and works fine on older versions:- <Img Year:00><Img Month><Img Day>_<Img Hour><Img Min><Img Sec>_ at index position 0. Has anyone else experienced this problem? And is there a solution? |

Hello,
I have a script here that works without problems in plain JS (run and see console window in https://jsfiddle.net/q9f7m6yg/), but it does nothing in AFR. Since I cannot figure out what goes wrong, I thought I'd ask here. Basically, it replaces a timestamp 2022-03-22 with the year and the week number: 2022-12 (week 12 this year). I assume I made a trivial mistake… Many thanks! var dateStr = item.newName.substring(0, 11); var year = dateStr.substring(0, 4); var rest = item.newName.substring(11); var tmpDate = new Date(dateStr); var d = new Date(Date.UTC(tmpDate.getFullYear(), tmpDate.getMonth(), tmpDate.getDate())); var dayNum = d.getUTCDay() || 7; d.setUTCDate(d.getUTCDate() + 4 - dayNum); var yearStart = new Date(Date.UTC(d.getUTCFullYear(), 0, 1)); var wNo = Math.ceil(((d - yearStart) / 86400000 + 1) / 7); return year + '-' + (wNo < 10 ? '0' : '') + wNo + ' ' + rest; |

Hi everyone!
I have a lot of documents with a rising number in the name. Like: axx_01_yyyy bxx_02_yyyy cxx_03_yyyy dxx_04_yyyy exx_05_yyyy Unfortunately now I have to add new files in between the numerical oder. Has anyone an idea, how I can renumber all my files and skip specifc numbers? For example: Skip number 3 and 5. axx_01_yyyy bxx_02_yyyy cxx_04_yyyy dxx_06_yyyy exx_07_yyyy Thanks! |

Hello, I am trying to create several 3D step files from one 3D model file. The new files need to increment either up or down and will have numbers and letters in the file name.
Example: I have "5F4x0-xx0-USxx" as the main file and I need to create a new file and save it as "5F460-000-US0A" and another file as "5F460-001-US0A" and another file as "5F460-010-US0A" and another file as "5F460-011-US0A" and another file as "5F460-050-US0A" and so on. FYI these files will be different part numbers based on the main file. My thought is to create a folder with all the assembly files using the Renamer and then use Inventor Task Manager to create all the step files automatically. I did figure out how to create the step files from the assembly using the Task Manager files but I need to figure out how to create several new assembly files and put them into a new folder using the Renamer. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. |

Hi guys, after searching in these forums and there were no related problems like mine, so i've decided to create a new post.
So i have 1 folder with various filename pattern like this : 01010-81280.xlsx 02782-10210-01_dlb.slsx 7861-93-1930-h01_s20_tmfr-p1.xlsx mp561-61-83211-terrain.xlsx d07088-014a7k28h02-terrain.xlsx tp_01011-81420_d.xlsx i need to clear (-) symbol only at the front with - symbol, so the filename after change will be like this: 0101081280.xlsx 0278210210-01_dlb.slsx 7861931930h01_s20_tmfr-p1.xlsx mp5616183211-terrain.xlsx d07088014a7k28h02-terrain.xlsx tp_0101181420_d.xlsx the - symbol at the end of filename cannot be deleted and stay as the original filename i tried several ways with Replace method but all of - symbol got deleted any suggestion will be much appreciated, thanks |

Hello guys,
I'm having trouble finding the correct parameter for files below: [SakuraCircle] Konbini Shoujo Z - 02 (DVD 720x480 h264 AAC) [C827BAB5].MKV Need: Konbini Shoujo Z - 02.MKV (SakuraCircle) Muttsuri Dosukebe Russia Gibo Shimai no Honshitsu Minuite Zanmai - 01 (DVD 720x480 h264 AAC) [E286056C].MKV Need: Muttsuri Dosukebe Russia Gibo Shimai no Honshitsu Minuite Zanmai - 01.MKV [Judas] Psycho-Pass - Movie 01 [BD 1080p][HEVC x265 10bit](Dual-Audio)[Eng-Subs].MKV Need: Psycho-Pass - Movie 01.MKV I want to leave only the name, remove the before and after. But there are videos that have [ ] or () before and after the name. What would be the correct commands? I have about 500 videos this way and it will be a lot of work if you do it manually. Thanks, Claudio |

Hallo,
Ich habe folgendes Problem. Meine Dateien die ich umbennen möchte haben folgende Syntax: 01 test_name_001_1999.jpg 02 test_name_002_1999.jpg 03 test_name_002_1999.jpg usw. Ich möchte die dreistellige Nummerierung 001, 002, 003 usw. heraus haben. Nun habe ich in der Hilfe folgende Möglichkeit gefunden. - Muster entfernen --> _(\d\d\d) damit verschwindet die dreistellige Nummerierung, aber eben auch die ersten drei stellen des Jahres. Kann man den Ausdruck darauf beschränkten, das eben nur wirklich dreistellige Zahlen berücksichtigt werden ? Danke für jede Antwort ! Viele Grüße Manfred -------------------------------- Hello, I have the following problem: My files that I want to rename have the following syntax: 01 test_name_001_1999.jpg 02 test_name_002_1999.jpg 03 test_name_002_1999.jpg etc. I want to figure out the three digit numbering 001, 002, 003 etc. I found the following option in the help. - remove pattern --> _(\d\d\d) This means that the three-digit numbering disappears, as does the first three digits of the year. Is it possible to restrict the expression to the fact that only really three-digit numbers are taken into account? Thanks for every answer! Many greetings Manfred |

I need to add a simple number increment to multiple files (i.e. 001,002,003 etc) but being able to tell the renamer which numbers should be skipped while incrementing. So I might need following incrementing: 001, 002, 003, 005, 006, 007, 009 Here 004 and 008 are skiped. Is this possible and how? Any help is much appreciated! |

I read the manual and the forums but still cannot figure. Basically I want Word tag that counts from backwards.
I want this: Random file name.jpg.bc 2022-04-26 184124 to become this: Random file name.jpg.bc 2022-04-26 184124.jpg The length of name after "Random file name" remains same. I want the extension name in the mid of filename (.jpg in this case) to be also added at the end. I could almost do it with Add method by adding at index 1 from backwards. But in the Add box, I was going to use Word tag but word tag does not count from backwards. Length of filename before .jpg varies but after .jpg remains constant (.bc yyyy-mm-dd hhmmss) so I can use this fact. |

Hallo Gemeinde - habe hier etwas Schwierigkeiten, einige Strings in den Filenamen zu erssetzen. Hoffe, es kann mir jemand weiterhelfen. Habe hier viele Videofiles konvertiert mit Handbrake, das leider die Eigenschaft hat, immer die Nummerierung -1, -2 -3 usw. anzuhängen. Wenn nun der Filename bspl. "S05E01" hat sieht es hinterher so aus : S05e01-01, S05e02-02 usw.... - möchte das kelien e wieder durch das grosse ersetzen und die Nummerung -x entfernen. Da es auch mehrere Staffel sein können, kann es auch sein, dass bspl. S04xxxx oder S03xxxx im Spiel sind. Wie wäre da die Sequenz um generell alle S0xe mit S0xE zu ersetzen und auch mit der Nummerierung ? Muss ich was besonderes einstellen beim Renamer ?
Manche wenige Files haben auch noch nach der Endung zusätzlichen Text > bspl. > S05e01.mkv Ich dreh noch durch (Titel) Wie kann man den Text wegbekommen ? Vielen lieben Dank an alle - hoffe, habe mich verständlich ausgedrückt, ansonsten sorry und übt ein wenig Nachsicht mit Anfänger..... |

I posted a question previously but was unable to find it via search. I have filenames with the following format:

Add Descriptive Name to Rename Method List entries
Add Custom / Description field to Rename Method list Currently when you have 2 or more "rename methods" in the list its not so easy to tell which one does what. I would be very useful for the user to the name each entry and have the descriptive name show in the active/non active "list bar/title" See example image at: https://imgur.com/a/9Qjl7MQ A new field "description=" could be added to the .aren file (i.e. after the "batchmode=" field). |

There is an issue with the interface moving GUI items out of view when the translated texts are longer than the original English ones.
It might be a good idea to either place these items in a panel that becomes scrollable or to change the window height according to the GUI items in the window. I'm talking about the buttons in the left lower corner of the window. A bunch of them disappear behind the bottom of the window in the Dutch translation. I'm sure other languages have the same problem. Example of the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ox9ogdhk4yhthts/AR-int erface.jpg?dl=0 |

I know it has been asked before and I know there are architectural challenges, but it would be really, really useful. I am frequently dealing with over 100,000 files and scrolling through the filename list to catch those not greyed out in order to preview the change is both tiresome and prone to error.

Hello,
i want to rename tons of files in different folders at once. The filenames are often the same "01", "02", "043", "044" and so on. But i also have files with "good" names "holiday-2021-05-27". Now i want to rename all files which have only 3 letters with "<DirName:1>-<Name>-" (=Foldername - filename) But all files which are longer than 3 letters i do NOT want to rename. Only the short filenames with max. 3 letters. (How) can i do this with advance renamer? |

Hi,
How could I add a list of numbers to existing file names? I'm labeling files with information from a spreadsheet list, and the list function works right for when I want to completely replace the names of the files. But how can I use it to add instead of replace? Example: file_035_a file_035_b file_899_a file_788_b List: 1 1 4 5 Desired output: file_035_a_1 file_035_b_1 file_899_a_4 file_788_b_5 I've tried using tags but that would still require me to add <name> to the beggining of each row, which would then not work with the "copy and paste" from my spreadsheet list. Thank you. |

I realize this might be a multi-step process.
When syncing pictures from various devices some do or don't have EXIF data in them. I've noticed some from Android phones are created with a FILENAME based on the START time of a recording. Which conflicts if they're mixed in with anything that did transfers based on the EXIF recording timestamp inside the file. I'm thinking it's going to be less trouble to handle the image and video files separately. Is there an example on how I might best approach this? I'm thinking: find mpg or jpg files that contain EXIF timestamps mangle that timestamp to see if the filename already matches (doing math to calculate back to the start time seems like it'd be problematic) if the filename does not match the timestamp then rename it accordingly Am I on the right track here? Is it possible to use AR to 'correct' the filesystem timestamps on files? As in, moving/copying has somehow changed the timestamps from their original and I'd like to 'set them back'. |

Hi. I have reviewed several threads on this help forum and one of them comes close. I modified it and it got me the format I wanted but the dates were totally not correct as doublechecked by pasting the file name into (https://www.epochconverter.com/) Another solution thread threw access violation errors. I know a few programming languages and database languages but not javascript but I was able to figure out how to make a mod to the one that was pretty close (as mentioned above) but I'm still stuck. Would someone be able to help? here's a small sample of what I have....

Hi, sorry that I don't know regular expressions, but I am looking to move files into one exisiting folder if they contain a certain text string and to another existing folder if they contain a different text string. Is this possible please? I have read the manual but I don't know how to do it without script.
E.g. If file name contains 'firstfolder' move to Folder 1 If file name contains 'secondfolder' move to Folder 2 Thus AB123_firstfolder.jpg to Folder 1 CD123_secondfolder.jpg to Folder 2 CD123_firstfolder.jpg to Folder 1 Folder 1 and Folder 2 are Subfolders of the base folder. Thanks |

I have finally tried the script-method for renaming and it is a very powerful tool indeed :-)
However, I think, I encountered a BUG in the script-method for the item.filesInDir field: when there are files from multiple directories in the rename-list, the value for item.filesInDir only seems to be set for the first directory, and for the other directories item.filesInDir has a value of 0 (zero) (I did not check items.dirsInDir, but it may have a similar problem) And as a suggestion for the docs: it took me a while to discover that all fields of the item-object can be viewed with the autocomplete feature of the editor. I think it would be good to mention in the user guide that there is an autocomplete feature for the script-editor -- and maybe even illustrate it in the example screenshot. |

Hello. Some time ago, i downloaded Advanced Renamer as i wanted to set timestamp of image based on it's date in filename. That was pretty easy altho i had some issues.
Now i have over 250 recordings from school in format <YYYY>-<MM>-<DD> <HH>-<mm>-<ss>. From this format i want to determinate which day in week it was (Monday through friday) and based on combination of time and day in week i want to set name in format of <Subject name> <type: lecture or exercise> <Date>, so i can then easily determinate what exactly i want to play / watch. I'm pretty sure it is possible with Advanced Renamer but my skill is on freezing point so i would appreciate some help. I didn't find any template to determine day of week based on date yet. Anyone help? |

Hi All,
I am trying to have my pictures renamed using the ExifTool tag "DateTimeOriginal" which comes up in the form of "AAAA_MM_DD HH_MM_SS". What I would like to do is simply to remove the underscore "_" character so the new name becomes "AAAAMMDD HHMMSS". I thank you in advance if anyone has a clue how to do this! Cheers |

Hi all,
I want to set the rename file pairs option to "off", but this option is not shown in my version 3.88 on Windows 10 (as described in user guide). Is there a possibility to show this option in settings dialog? As a workaround in a batch method I can set pairrename with an editor from pairrename=1 to pairrename=0 That works fine for me :-) |

Hi
Is it possible to reverse the number order in a list of existing numbered files while renaming? eg file 01, through file 10 ...once reordered, file10 becomes file 01, file09 becomes file02 etc> Also, for adding separate lists, can we start the renumber at a chosen number? many thanks. brand new user |

Hi,
I would like to rename all the files starting with a space into files starting with an underscore (leaving all other spaces). For example: " 1test file.txt" >> "_1test file.txt" Is this possible? Thanks in advance! |

This is a fantastic renaming utility program. I thought I was going to have to spend time coding a program but found this and saved a bunch of my time. You can rename files any way you want. If you want to do something special you can use script to perform a special function, but the functions available should take care of any task if you know how to use them. I am renaming 10's of thousands of pictures and without a utility like this it would be daunting task. The online instructions are great. It took little time to figure out how to pull dates for picture, truncate the date format, and add some text to the pictures.

Hello!
For a folder of image tiles with a col#_row#.jpg naming scheme, how could a pre Batch script process thru the items and get the max row# and col# to set as variables to be used in the main script? Thanks in advance EDIT: Found example what I needed in another forum post. Feel free to offer improvements, though! For the preBatch script: var numCols = 1; var numRows = 1; for (j = 0; j < app.itemCount; j++) { item = app.getItem(j); tmpitem= item.name; n = tmpitem.indexOf("_"); column = tmpitem.substr(0,n); row = tmpitem.substr(n+1); c = parseInt(column); if (c > numCols) numCols = c+1; r = parseInt(row); if (r > numRows) numRows = r+1; } console.log(numCols); For the Main Script (converts col_row scheme to sequential number from upper right of matrix): tmpitem= item.name; n = tmpitem.indexOf("_"); column = tmpitem.substr(0,n); row = tmpitem.substr(n+1); c = parseInt(column); r = parseInt(row); num = (r*numCols)+ c; // numCols is the number of columns, set during PreBatch item.newName = num.toString(); return item.newName |

Hi,
I have used regular expressions in a far far past but can't seem to work out my issue by myself. In the process of renaming all my phto and videoclip filenames I want them to have the following format: 20140704_16.25.58.mp4 while they presently are like 20140704 162558.mp4 It must be very simply but to this moment my results are poor. any help is highly appreciated |

I really like the potential of Advanced Renamer -- great work.
However, I spend a lot of time checking and unchecking check boxes because there is no "select all" or "select none" option that I can find. Also, the program does not display compressed TIF files. Since compressed black-and-white TIF images are most of my work and I have to select them in real-time to adjust the new name, I'm still having to use other programs most of the time. I hope to purchase a paid license for this program. With a few improvements, the price is reasonable. |

Alright, so i have exactly 73 folders with random names, some with a "metadata.xml" file, that inside contains the name i want to put in the base folder
Example: mods\842051906\metadata.xml Inside the file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <metadata> <name>[Name I Want]</name> [the rest] How can i change the big-number folder's name to the mod name in the file inside it? |

So I have the entire season of a particular TV show. In order for my media player to pick up the correct external subtitle files, they have to have the same name as the video.
So s01e01.mkv needs a file named s01e01.srt. The problem is, all of my SRT files have the wrong name. What method do I use to get all the srt files to have the same name as the existing mkv files? |

Hello, I have several hundred folders with separate files inside them, and I would like to rename all of the files with the same batch method (<Inc Nr:1>).
I have tried doing this manually, selecting the files in each folder and renaming them, but it seems a bit too tedious and would require hours to do. I was wondering if there is a script to do the same. For clarity, I would like the name of the files within each folder to be renamed, but would like the folder names to be untouched. I would like files of each folder to be renamed separately, since adding directories while renaming files renames all of them together, as in it renames them leading from 1-10000 whereas I want the names to be named separately for each folder, as would happen if I were to rename files in each folder manually. |

Hi,
I found this great tool, Advanced Renamer, and i have an issue. Probably because i don't know how to use it: - The GPS Locations, like City, Country etc. doesn't function. I understood that these are are taken from a GeoNames database http://www.geonames.org/, based on the info that is found in the video file. When i'm checking other GPS info, like GPS Lat, GPS Lng or the GPS Values button, doesn't show anything. The videos are taken with an iPhone 6s with iOS 15.5. On the phone i can see where the video was taken. I'm using the following string to rename the file: "<Video Date Year><Video Date Month><Video Date Day>-<Video Date Hour><Video Date Min><Video Date Sec> - <GPS Country>-<GPS State>-<GPS City>" I had read the Forum posts from 2015 but i didn't find how to fix it. What i'm doing wrong? For pictures, everything seems ok. ps. the recommendation made by Alan, to include the place of interest, is quite nice from my point of view. This is the post: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=2164 Thank you, Marius |

windows explorer puts backtick ` first, whereas Aren puts it last.
just an observation also, watch out for Aren truncating filenames and then sorting the filename by the truncated number not the whole filename. |

Hello,
I just can't figure out how to solve the following problem with AR on my own: For example, I have the following filenames: Xfcc_ddfff_ddffff_00100330_jknbh_klknd_00998 Drdd_zhgg_efertg_009883_asddff Hhzfff_nnnn_008787_khhbed_klh_0099_jjjh_llkjj Now I want to delete everything after the third underscore. However, the file names are of different lengths, i.e. the search criterion is always the third underscore from the front/left (depending on how you count it). How can I solve this without having to do a lot of programming? Kind Regards Steve |

Hi,
I use Advanced Renamer portable version. Every time I start AR I am asked for my license key which I then enter and everthing works fine. I would like to store my license key where AR is able to find it and start it as a registered version. Any hints where to store it? Thanks and regards, Wolfgang |

Hi there. Advanced Renamer is really a great job. But I've noticed that there were few apps that using unix time instead of regular date in filename. So would you mind to add unix time support in time stamp function? Thanks a lot.

You'll have to excuse me for asking such a simple question, but I've been trying to substitute the '/' character in the name of a file series for a long time and I can't.
Surely it is the simplest with the potential of this tool. I've read the entire manual and I can't find a way. Thank you |

Usually I'm renaming sequential files, where the Incremental Number option fits the job.
Not this one 1559 Books released, Publisher code = R### suffix p for Print , and e for eBook 899 PDFs, all individually named, according to my own system. Standardised Story Naming R####e – <Title> by <Author(s)> or if needed R####e – <Title> + <(Un)Titled 2nd Story> by <Author(s)> Standardised Story Series Naming R####e – <Series Name> – Series – Story <Number> = <Title> by <Author(s)> Where R####e = Official Publisher ID Code <Any Text> = <> and content replaced with eBooks specific details, using “Proper Case” Format. “Proper Case” Format = Lower Case With Capitalised First Letter Of Every Word (Notepad++ “Convert Case To …” Option). <Series Name> = Usually taken from the first Story. Series = Standard series indicator. Story <Number> = Written Number designating series order of the Story. = is used to more clearly divide My Series naming conventions from <Title> <Title> = Official eBook Name as displayed on the cover. + is used to clearly indicate divide between <Title> and <(Un)Titled 2nd Story>. <(Un)Titled 2nd Story> = Official 2nd Story Name, even if not displayed on the cover. by = Only word starting with a small case, always precedes author(s)’s name(s). <Author(s)> = Author(s) name(s) as displayed on cover. The covers available online are tiny 190×340 Pixels, and are stored online By publisher ID code. There are a few print only no longer sold gaps, in the eBook lists, but the codes were standardised via renaming, but just codes, it was enough. "Calibre", a free eBook Management program, when configured correctly, will create cover.jpg files from the PDFs, 899 of them. Using two other Free Tools "FreeCommander XE" file manager, and "LSE (Link Shell Extension)", a HardLink/SymLink/Junction creator. So a Flat view of the files within Calibre's author Folder, gives me the 899 Cover.jpg files, but Explorer Copy/Move will only replace them, leaving one file. LSE Hardlinks, as well as saving space, auto adds " - Hardlink" to first file conflict. Subsequent file conflicts use " - Hardlink (#)" where # = # + 1 for each duplicate, as the first duplicate raised #=1, so first number seen is 2 Cover - Hardlink (2).jpg … Cover - Hardlink (898).jpg Cover.jpg This was manually renamed to Cover - Hardlink (0).jpg Cover - Hardlink.jpg This was manually renamed to Cover - Hardlink (1).jpg Resulting in Cover - Hardlink (0).jpg … Cover - Hardlink (898).jpg So now I had my files sequentially in the right order, ready for renaming, but there's only 899, of a possible 1159 numbers, so lots of gaps spread throughout the sequence, and my previous techniques won't work, so what will. Advanced Renamer Docs research to the rescue A CSV file list, apparently, and as I read the docs, I realise, I can name match to the PDFs, and use my full names FTW. A quick Copy of Filenames, using yet another useful free tool, "Lammer Context Menu", and one that even has some limited renaming ability, but I use for it's file path copying, something Explorer has lacked since forever, though W11 v21H2 added a very limited "Only in speech Marks" method recently. Paste the names into my last must have free tool, Notepad++ You might get the idea I like that price tag, and I do, but in each case it's best tool for the job is also free. Use the Search, and Replace function to rename ".PDF" to ";" New Case All Caps (Extension) Selected New Name <CSV:1> (Name) Selected, and go. Time taken, with research =1 hour Time taken, without needing research = 5 minutes Time estimated to do all that manually minimum = 1 week. I came here, to instantly buy a Personal License, after doing that, then wrote this. I can live with the Nag screen, being on a very low income (UK Benefits), but this tool is worth every penny of the £20 price tag. |

So I have one folder with a bunch of files grouped into categories and numbered, like this:
Alpha 01 Alpha 02 Alpha 03 Bravo 01 Bravo 02 Bravo 03 Charlie 01 Charlie 02 Charlie 03 Except that over time I may add or remove files, so they're no longer numbered in sequence, like this: Alpha 01 Alpha 07 Alpha 08 Bravo 03 Bravo 04 Bravo 06 Charlie 01 Charlie 11 Charlie 74 I'd like to be able to batch rename them to reset all the numbers within each list, while keeping all the files in the same folder. But with the standard New Name or Renumber methods, I don't see any way to reset the count. It'll just number everything in the folder from 1 - 12. Is there a way to do this? |

in hebrew i've tried to add a move method that would take the last character of the name if it's a digit and move it to the beginning of the line using regular expressions.
but it doesn't do that, infact it does it to the character before the last character of the name, thinking it's the last one. so this is a bug. the method is: from: \d count: 1 to: ^ |

not sure i can solve my problem using arenamer.
Anyone can confirm ? I have lots of files that i wish to put automatically in folders having the same name as the first part of the file. i.e. i have pictures called Bob jones.jpg or laura schmutz.jpg, i want they respectivally go in folder "bob" and "laura". This i guess is fairly easy even under DOS. but a secondary issue is that some files with same name may already be present in the folder. So when deplaced maybe renaming is necessary. Something that seems impossible with DOS commands. Would Arenamer allows that, i guess under command line ? what language is used their ? |

I’m pretty sure that the solution exists somewhere in the forum or in the user guide but I’ve looked and I just can’t find it.
I have a lot of photographs that I once named: Image1_date_Place_people in the picture.jpg Image2_date_Place_peaople in the picture.jpg etc. etc. Now I want to combine photographs from other folders so that, for example, photographs from folder 2 starts with 32 but keep everything else in the filename intact. Like: Image32_date_Place_people in the picture.jpg Image33_date_Place_peaople in the picture.jpg etc. etc. It seems pretty simple using the “New name” method. With “Image<Inc No:32>” I can easily change the number. But I can’t figure out the rest. Tag <name> only results in Image32_Image_1_Place_people in the picture.jpg etc. How do I change the filename? |

I am renaming the files using exif tool as the search - on some files the tag does not exist , so the rename is using a blank string and then appending a numeric value to make unique. How do I say use the TAG string if it exists else use the original name if the TAG is empty/missing.
example : <ID3 Artist> - <ID3 Title>.<Ext> filename originally is: _Lake Of Fire.mp3 new filename would be : Nirvana - Lake Of Fire.mp3 but if the <ID3 Title> is missing then it becomes : 001.mp3 I am looking to say if the tag <ID3 Title> is missing from the file , then keep the original name: _Lake Of Fire.mp3 same with using exif - <ExifTool:Title> Thanks for any help , or pointers to scrippting which may help |

Hi all,
Been using AR for years - absolutely love it. Have an issue recently where it's awful slow analysing a folder I've dragged in. After an event with 1500-2000 photos, it can take a 15-20 mins. Don't think it's the app tbh - probably windows related, or an update or something. Wondering if anyone had this before and has some pointers. |

Hello,
I have a folder with a lot of files. Mainly they are something like that: XX_11_123_123456_STR.txt and 22_456_123456_STR.txt How can I rename files without initial XX_ with YY_ ? Basically 22_456_123456_STR.txt should become YY_22_456_123456_STR.txt and the other files remain the same. Thanks! Alex |

I want to rename my photos according to the following scheme and I have a question if it is possible to change the date formatting of the <ExifTool:CreateDate> as I find "2018_03_28 17_03_02.dng" a bit confusing and prefer "YYYYMMDD-DDMMSS" instead. Or do I have to use <Year Modified:0000> or <Year Created:0000> values for that? With both, I sometimes get wrong date values. That's why i want to use <ExifTool:CreateDate>, since this is really the correct time of when the photo was taken.

Hello everyone,
I'm a new user for advanced renamer, and I was trying to use the Mark By Pattern feature to mark all the files of a particular file extension. I browsed through older forum posts and it seems as if this feature was broken for a while, but was supposed to be fixed in 3.88. Did it ever get fixed? If this did get fixed, how would I go about doing this? I have tried using the "<Ext>" tag and adding the file extension I want, but I just couldn't it to work. A few things I tried were: "<Ext>[txt]" "<Ext>txt" and "<Ext> == txt" Thanks in advanced, -Caleb |

I'm dealing with RegEx but I cannot find the way. I'll appreciate any help. Thanks. |

Some times I'm working with a large number of files, and I want to make sure they all conform to some pattern. Say I have 10k files loaded, and 5 of them needs to change, but I don't know which ones beforehand.
It would be very helpful to be able to quickly see all (un)affected items. The most natural ways I can think of to achieve this is to be able to bring them to the top of the list, which could be done by adding a column with a true/false which we could use for sorting. Or to add another function under the "List" button; "Remove unaffected items" which would leave only the 5 items in question. Is this something that you would consider to add? Thanks for a great product! |

Hi all I'm a newb to this excellent program so be gentle :)
I have been playing with the scripts function and wondered if it's possible to add a finished script to the "Add Batch Method" list at the bottom of the screen. I know I can save it as a preset but was just wondering if adding to the list was possible? |

I need a one-step solution to rename a bunch of files based on a date in the original filenames. Unfortunately, the format the date is in includes three-letter months (Jan, Dec, etc.).
How do I get Advanced Renamer to set the date based on the current renamed file - after replacing the month with a numeric month - and NOT the original/current file name? |

The thing is like this: We have duplicated folders because work, and someone had to change the filenames of all files in the main folder to add several diferent things, AND NOW my task is to rename all folders files with these changes...
I have the file size to arrange them in the same order as the main folder but I don't know how to copy/paste the list of filenames to the other folder. Help! ex: FOLDER A: file 1 names file 2 surnames file 3 clients FOLDER B: File (1) Namess file two surn File3 CLIENTS Need them to have the same names. |

Hello everyone.
I have multiple folders containing images. The name of all of them is the UPC code (13 characters). I show you an example: ========================= C:\IMAGES_MSA\3560070\ ========================= 3560070045488.jpg 3560070045518.jpg 3560070046058.jpg 3560070052745.jpg 3560070052752.jpg 3560070113804.jpg As you can see the name of the folder matches the first seven numbers of the name of the images. I would like to be able to remove the first seven numbers of each file, so that they look like this: ========================= C:\IMAGES_MSA\3560070\ ========================= 045488.jpg 045518.jpg 046058.jpg 052745.jpg 052752.jpg 113804.jpg Can this be done with Advanced Renamer? or do I have to use programming? I have to rename more than 6000 images. Thank you very much. |

Hello, I've used AdvRen in the past, but lost the tool. I juste re-descovered it.
I used it, as a test, on files with the same length to remove part of the file's name. Ex.: [ShowName].[S01E01].[encoder].[Encoding].[Sound].[...].mkv to [ShowName].[S01E01].mkv using the method "Remove" While it's great with files the same length, but, which method should I use if file looks like : [ShowName].[S01E01].[EpisodeName].[Encoder].[EncodingFormat].[...].mkv Ex : Transformers - S01E01 - More than Meets the Eyes (part 1) - NezCroEncoding - 1080p - SuperSound - ....mkv Transfermers - S154E12 - Jumping Gears - NezCroEncoding - 1080p - SuperSound - ....mkv |

Hi,
I'd like to be able to flag any files that contain unwanted charactersà (This would require the creation of an exhaustive list of desired characters by me). For example, in my case, I only use lowercase and uppercase Latin letters without diacritics (a-z, A-Z), numerals (0-9), hyphen (-) and underscore ( _ ). Is there a way to do this? Thanks ! |

Hi all
I'm struggling with finding a script that would accomplish this miracle : I have a bunch of PDF files that content some informations, and I would love a method to set the name of those files with one line inside it. By example : file name = 01005741.pdf In that file there is the line : Product : 7.92505 The final step will be the name = 7.92505_Kosher.pdf The "_Kosher" part will be the same for all files. Thank you in advance. Greetings ! |

A one blade knife is a simple tool (or one that can be used simply) that is easy to come up to speed on. One picks it up and cuts.
I need to rename folders, hundreds of them all in a particular root directory that never changes path. Never rename any content of the folders, no recursion, never touch a file. The renaming task is to test each folder name for the presence of a 3 letter word at the beginning of the folder name and if it is found delete it leaving no leading spaces behind. The remainder of the folder name must be untouched. If the 3 letter word is not found the folder name is untouched and the program moves on to the next folder. New folders will be added to the root directory over time and the program run over the whole thing again to test and modify the new additions as needed. manually adding that many folders to anything is cumbersome. This recommends a command line tool (if only I knew how to write one). So haveing the path to the root directory saved and working with that is desirable. My question is: is this an appropriate tool? Apprciate any advice. jon |

Hallo, kann mir jemand helfen:
Ich versuchte verzweifelt die Dateinamen (Bilder) als neuen Namen mit Aufnahmedatum "jahr monat tag name" zu ändern. Ich kann aber nur Erstelldatum aus wählen, das von Aufnahmedatum abweicht. Weiß jemand wie das geht? Ohne diese Funktion "Aufnahmedatum" wäre für mich das Programm nicht hilfreich. Dann wäre für mich IrfanView zum Umbenennen sicherer, aber umständlicher. Ich sage schon mal danke Gruß Walther |

When adding a new lost replace option ]it adds a lot of extra space at the bottom so you have to scroll a lot before getting to where you added the new group. Also after adding a new group you can't scroll clear back to the top unless you save and re-add the preset.

I need to rename some folders (100+) with info contained in the filenames within that folder.
Each folder is a project folder that has the "project name" , but all the files within the respective folders have the corresponding "project id". I want to update the folder name with the project id contained in the filenames. How do I achieve this with ARen? |

Hello,
I'm trying to use the advanced renamer to change the name of a several image and video files to the date (year, month, date, hour, minute, second) that the pic/video was taken. I'd also like to add 6 hours to the time as I was abroad so the timestamp is 6 hours off. I have uploaded the images and videos to Renamer but when I try to use the timestamp tool I'm getting an "invalid timestamp" error message. Through digging in the forums I found another method "New Name Method" where I could do this <Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day> <Img Hour>-<Img Min>-<Img Sec> and that actually worked but only for the pictures and for the videos it says "Multiple timestamps" or something like that. Also - I'm not able to add the 6 hours using that method. Can anyone tell me what's going on as in the EXIF data it appears that the timestamp is there and valid? Not sure why the error. Thank you so much!! |

Example file names
Jan 6 2020 - something - somethingelse.mp4 Apr 1X 2021 - something - somethingelse.mp4 I want to convert this to the following filenames respectively 2020-01-06 - something - somethingelse.mp4 (note the added 0 to the 6th of the month) 2021-04-1X - something - somethingelse.mp4 (note the X placeholder) I thought the script method would be best applicable here. I have never used Javascript before so it's not good by any means. I first used another program and the following code to get the job done. Unfortunately I found out that that program requires a license to use Javascript renaming, hence why I use this program now. ---- function(index, item) { function getMonthFromString(mon){ return new Date(Date.parse(mon +" 1, 2012")).getMonth()+1 } function dateToYMD(date) { var fullstring = date.split(' '); var y = fullstring[2], mfull = fullstring[0], d = parseInt(fullstring[1]); var m = getMonthFromString(mfull) return '' + y + '-' + (m<=9 ? '0' + m : m) + '-' + (d <= 9 ? '0' + d : d); } function getThirdPart(str) { return str.split('-')[2]; } function getSecondPart(str) { return str.split('-')[1]; } function getFirstPart(str) { return str.split('-')[0]; } newdate = dateToYMD(getFirstPart(item.name)); newName = newdate + ' -' + getSecondPart(item.name) + '-' + getThirdPart(item.name); return newName; } ---- and hit Apply script. Unfortunately, the Filename and New Filename in the Rename Files window is the same., with Error saying "OK". At first I thought this may be due to you having to return the full filename including extension, so I added + '.mp4', but still the same. Then I thought it may be due to me using functions inside the function(index, item), so I tried the following ---- function(index, item) { var firstPart = item.name.split('-')[0]; var secondPart = item.name.split('-')[1]; var thirdPart = item.name.split('-')[2]; var fullstring = firstPart.split(' '); var y = fullstring[2], mfull = fullstring[0], d = parseInt(fullstring[1]); var m = new Date(Date.parse(mfull +" 1, 2012")).getMonth()+1; var test = '' + y + '-' + (m<=9 ? '0' + m : m) + '-' + (d <= 9 ? '0' + d : d); var newName = test + ' -' + secondPart + '-' + thirdPart; return newName; } ---- which also didn't work (Filename and New Filename are the same), and I tried with + '.mp4', which also did not work. What am I doing wrong? |

I have files currently named 0001, 0001_b, 0002, 0002_b, 0003, 0003_b
I need to be able to rename for example to 0031, 0031_b, 0032, 0032_b, 0033, 0033_b I assume i will need a script, as New Name will just change to 0001, 0002_b, .. etc I dont mind doing two passes to solve this, as in using a skip for all file names that have a _b in it, and then opposite to that in teh 2nd pass Can anyone help with a script or idea for this thanks so much |

I was working normally with AR and the drag and drop feature was working fine, I updated windows 11 to the 22h2 update and when I continue working with Advance Renamer again I notice that the Drag and Drop feature is now not working correctly, some times skips files, If I drag 10 files to the app only 6 or 7 appear on the list, is anyone having the same issue.

Is there anyway to add numbers to any of the time/date stamp variables?
My gopro date was wrong and all the files are off by the same amount. and I want to rename the files properly (not edit the metadata). year modified shows 2016, but obviously it is 2022. When I use the tag <year modified> I want to add 6 to the 2016 to get me to 2022. |

Hi,
the GPS tags usually works fine, but for _some_ pictures (taken with the same phone) ARen does not seem to be able to read the EXIF data that are indeed contained in the file (as shown below). Is there any way I can have ARen work for these files? Example: ARen ----------------------------------- IMG_6381.HEIC => <GPS Lat>-<GPS Lng> => 0.0000-0.0000 (blue-colored line) EXIF data from Irfanview ----------------------------------- Filename - IMG_6381.HEIC Make - Apple Model - iPhone 8 ... GPS information: - GPSLatitudeRef - N GPSLatitude - 45 59 57.619999 (45.999339) GPSLongitudeRef - E GPSLongitude - 8 56 54.52 (8.948478) GPSAltitudeRef - Above Sea Level GPSAltitude - 280.10 m GPSImgDirectionRef - True direction GPSImgDirection - 97.412262 GPSDateStamp - 2022:01:26 |

I am using this method <DirName:1> 00<Inc NrDir:1> two zero in front give me folder name three spaces then 00001 one hundred files first folder. the problem is that the second folder goes as follows folder name three spaces then 0001 and every folder after that does 0001
first folder 00001 to 00100 second folder 0001 to 0100 and repeats second folder ok so after playing around i found out that if any folder has 100 or more files it goes as follows 00001 to 00100 but all folders that have less then 100 files it goes 0001 to 0100, well someone should fix this, YES I KNOW ABOUT USING RENUMBER BUT THE POINT IS that NrDir1 should not be limited to how many files are in the folder sure sure I could be wrong just last week i was wrong 99 times out of 21 |

Hello everybody,
I would like some help to create a regular expression that could rename more than 2000 files I have. I tried to find it on the forum but I couldn't find an expression that worked. So I have files with the following structures: Fornecedor - 2013-03-28 - Chaveiro Chavassi - NF 341.pdf Fornecedor - 2020-09-12 - Assessoria VOIP - NF 1444 Reparo Cameras.pdf Fornecedor - 2020-10-15 - AG Brasil - NF 10869.pdf Fornecedor - 2014-07-17 - Rio Branco PapeÌis - NF 256195 - Entrega.pdf Fornecedor - 2014-05-21 - Rio Branco PapeÌis - NF 249638 - Faturamento.pdf Fornecedor - 2014-02-13 - Chaveiro Avulso - NF 357.pdf Fornecedor - 2014-07-17 - Passalaqua PapeÌis - NF 256195 - Entrega.pdf Fornecedor - 2014-07-17 - Guajajaras - NF 256195.pdf I want to be able to move the date to before the text " - NF". So they end up like this: Fornecedor - Chaveiro Chavassi - 2013-03-28 - NF 341.pdf Fornecedor - Assessoria VOIP - 2020-09-12 - NF 1444 Reparo Cameras.pdf Fornecedor - AG Brasil - 2020-10-15 - NF 10869.pdf Fornecedor - Rio Branco PapeÌis - 2014-07-17 - NF 256195 - Entrega.pdf Fornecedor - Rio Branco PapeÌis - 2014-05-21 - NF 249638 - Faturamento.pdf Fornecedor - Chaveiro Avulso - 2014-02-13 - NF 357.pdf Fornecedor - Passalaqua PapeÌis - 2014-07-17 - NF 256195 - Entrega.pdf Fornecedor - Guajajaras - 2014-07-17 - NF 256195.pdf I've several options but I have no luck.

Hi, I hope the following helps. :)
The script takes the "CreateDate" from exif, looks up a give time offset and normalize it to UTC+0. I recognized that .mov from a Google Photos export was UTC+0 and .heic was UTC+2. This offset made my renaming obsolete. Thats why I developed this script to normalize the dates. var fileName = item.name; var createDate = item.exifToolValue("CreateDate"); var offsetTime = item.exifToolValue("OffsetTime"); // var fileName = "IMG_0362.HEIC"; // var createDate = "2022:05:20 17:39:09"; // var offsetTime = "+02:00" // ISO date: 2009-06-30T18:30:00+02:00 if(!createDate){ return fileName } var createDateDate = createDate.split(' ')[0].replace(/:/gm, '-'); var createDateTime = createDate.split(' ')[1]; if(!offsetTime){ offsetTime = "+00:00" } // returns 2022-05-22T17:39:09+02:00 var myNewDateString = createDateDate + "T" + createDateTime + offsetTime; // returns 2022-05-22T15:39:09.000Z (normalized to UTC+0) var myNormalizedDate = new Date(myNewDateString).toISOString(); // returns 2022-05-22T15:39:09 var finalDateString = myNormalizedDate.split('.')[0].replace(/:/gm, '-') return finalDateString + ".0Z_" + fileName |

Hallo, ich hoffe, das Folgende hilft. :)
Das Skript nimmt das "CreateDate" aus den Exif-Daten, sucht eine Zeitverschiebung (Time Offset) und normalisiert das Offset auf UTC+0. Ich habe erkannt, dass .mov aus einem Google Fotos-Export UTC+0 war und .heic UTC+2 war. Dieses Offset machte meine Umbenennung unbrauchbar. Deshalb habe ich dieses Skript entwickelt, um die Datums zu normalisieren. var fileName = item.name; var createDate = item.exifToolValue("CreateDate"); var offsetTime = item.exifToolValue("OffsetTime"); // var fileName = "IMG_0362.HEIC"; // var createDate = "2022:05:20 17:39:09"; // var offsetTime = "+02:00" // ISO date: 2009-06-30T18:30:00+02:00 if(!createDate){ return fileName } var createDateDate = createDate.split(' ')[0].replace(/:/gm, '-'); var createDateTime = createDate.split(' ')[1]; if(!offsetTime){ offsetTime = "+00:00" } // returns 2022-05-22T17:39:09+02:00 var myNewDateString = createDateDate + "T" + createDateTime + offsetTime; // returns 2022-05-22T15:39:09.000Z (normalized to UTC+0) var myNormalizedDate = new Date(myNewDateString).toISOString(); // returns 2022-05-22T15:39:09 var finalDateString = myNormalizedDate.split('.')[0].replace(/:/gm, '-') return finalDateString + ".0Z_" + fileName |

Hi! I noticed during a Google Photos export that images that were originally .HEIC and then converted to .JPG are still referred to as .HEIC by Google. The same is true for videos (.MP4 files with the filename .MOV). Maybe this has advantages for the Google Photos sync mechanism, but for my backups I want to use the real extensions.
That's why I wrote the following script that looks for the correct extension in the Exif files and renames the files accordingly. if(!item.exifToolValue("FileTypeExtension")){ return item.ext; } if(item.ext.toLowerCase() !== item.exifToolValue("FileTypeExtension").toLowerCase()){ return item.exifToolValue("FileTypeExtension") } |

Hallo! Ich habe bei einem Google Fotos-Export festgestellt, dass Bilder, die ursprünglich .HEIC waren und dann in .JPG umgewandelt wurden, von Google immer noch als .HEIC bezeichnet werden. Dasselbe gilt für Videos (.MP4-Dateien mit dem Dateinamen .MOV). Vielleicht hat dies Vorteile für den Synchronisierungsmechanismus von Google Fotos, aber für meine Sicherungskopien möchte ich die echten Erweiterungen verwenden.
Deshalb habe ich das folgende Skript geschrieben, das die richtige Erweiterung in den Exif-Dateien sucht und die Dateien entsprechend umbenennt. if(!item.exifToolValue("FileTypeExtension")){ return item.ext; } if(item.ext.toLowerCase() !== item.exifToolValue("FileTypeExtension").toLowerCase()){ return item.exifToolValue("FileTypeExtension") } |

In the past a named my files YearMonthDay e.g. 20221022_my house dog.
Now I would like to change the format how the date is written into 2022-10-22_my house dog. With which method can I automatically change the file name? And how can I do it, when I have the date at the end of the file name: My house dog_20221022? |

Hi,
I would like to be able to apply 1 of 2 different AREN templates, based upon whether the filename contains the word " .and. " or " and ". Filename examples car.and.bike01.jpg, car.and.bike02.jpg, tent.and.bike07.jpg, tent04.jpg The last example would be for the second AREN template. I had hoped to use the scripting method, and an If Else statement, but whilst i know a little C++, i am not familiar with JS. For instance, how to parse filename string and identify "and" ? So If (filename contains "and") { Apply AREN template 01 } Else { Apply AREN template 02 } Any help appreciated. Thanks! |

"The Country, City, and State tags use the GPS coordinates to lookup a textual representation of where the picture was taken in an online database containing more than 100,000 cities."
So is Advanced Renamer accessing this database directly from GeoNames, or is the advancedrenamer.com server hosting this database? I only ask for security reasons. Thank you. |

We take photos of eyeglass repairs.
These photos are located in large folders (up to 10000 pictures) sorted by date. The first photo is the order number for that repair. It is a picture of a black background with numbers. Then follow 10-25 pictures of that repair. Then comes the next photo of the next order number, etc... What would be the best quickest way - method - workflow to organize / rename these photos by order number? At this point the photos are only named by the camera ( IMG_xxx.jpg) Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks Stefan |

Using the latest version, in the Rename Folders mode for any folder only the Created Date is displayed and usable. Modified and Access dates are always blank and so unusable.
This happens in Windows10 even when running Advanced Renamer with Administrator privileges. Double Commander just for example can see and change all folders timestamp attributes not just the Created date. Can this be fixed ? Thanks |

When sorting image files by the "Date Taken" value in the main dashboard, the system is improperly using the "Date Modified" although the original "Date Taken" value exists and can be viewed by reviewing the file properties window in Explorer. And, it is inconsistent, as other files with a new "Date Modified" value are displaying the correct "Date Taken" value. My workaround has been to retain the original name as the order, then hard-code the date in the new name.
(from version 3.85) |

I hope you can help me. I am looking for a way to remove different sequences of digits with 7 digits each from files. The digits to be removed are always completely different and each have an always identical character before (-) and after ( _), so for example like this:
-1234567 _ -2345678 _ -3456789 _ -1538264 _ I want to remove these parts of the file names completely. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Unfortunately I have no idea about Reg Expressions :-( Thanks! |

Hi. New user here. I'm interested in renaming all of my many digital image files.
I've played around with Renamer and I can see how to rename individual folders and how to rename files in individual folders - one folder at a time. However, is it possible to rename files in lots of folders at the same time, rather than selecting just files in an individual folder, renaming them, then going to the next folder, selecting it's files, renaming them etc. I hope I've explained that well enough. Thanks. |

Hi,
I'm trying to work out how to add an xml key value from the contents of the file to the file itself. The file has variable length contents so I can't use a predictable start position or length. How can I read the contents of the file into a string so I can use regular repressions with a capture group to extract the value I'm looking for? Is the JS implementation in AdvancedRenamer capable of this? Many thanks, Barry. |

Does anyone else think it would be nice to be able to right-click on the file list and copy the files into the clipboard? This would make a list of ONLY the source filename, and only the filename itself (not the path):
File1.txt File2.txt File3.txt The primary reason I would like this is because I am constantly saving the list out to a file, then bringing it into my regex tool so I can test regex on the entire list to see what works as expected and what doesn't. While saving the list to a file works, it currently includes the path which I have to manually remove to get the desired outcome. I understand the path needs to be on the saved file list because that is used to load a file list, thus you need a complete path, but my use case needs only the filename and extension. Anyone else thing this would be useful - or does anyone know of a way to do this using the latest version? I couldn't find a way to do it... Thanks in advance! Ryan |

I have found out in thousands of files i had from downloads from like 1-2 years ago something. The app i used in the past no longer works and now im using other but it download it with a 3 hour difference compared to my old database.
What i need is a way to batch change the hour difference in filenames and in some cases even the day of all my old database. For example i need to change from this 2021-02-11 11.24.09 -> 2021-02-11 14.24.09 In cases it changes day it need to take that in account automatically: 2020-05-09 21.45.21 -> 2020-05-10 00.45.21 What kind of commands need to add the ARen? |

I have many WhatsApp pictures where the creation date is embedded in the filename but NOT in the Exiif Taken / created / digitized date fields, exif information is empty.
Sample Name of Files: IMG-20191014-WA0005.jpg IMG-20191014-WA0006.jpg IMG-20191014-WA0007.jpg IMG-20191014-WA0008.jpg I would like to extract / copy the date Year 2019 Month 10 Day 14 and insert / paste it in the Ex-if as Taken Original data field. 2019:10:14 As you can see the time code is lost as well, but it could just be a sequential number within the same taken date or extracted from the file name from the "WA000*" Pattern or just left blank. I have tried Exif tool and now advanced rename, but no luck so far. |

I have hundreds of files that were name in this format:
Meeting Minutes (December 14, 2020).pdf Meeting Minutes (August 24, 2020).pdf Meeting Minutes (November 9, 2020).pdf I would like to rename them: Meeting Minutes 2020-12-14.pdf Meeting Minutes 2020-08-24.pdf Meeting Minutes 2020-11-09.pdf I can figure out how to replace "December" with "12" and so on. And then use the move characters around so that it appears in YYYY-MM-DD format. But there must be a clever way to do that with a script. Is there a way? |

I have a folder A that has 10 files, and folder B has 10 files. How can I rename all files in folder A (destination) to be the same as 10 files in folder B (source)?
E.g. folder A has 10 subtitle files (.srt) 01.srt 02.srt 03.srt ... And folder B has 10 video files (.mp4) hercules.s01e01.the.wrong.path.ntsc.dvd.dd5.1.x264hi10-lightspeed.mp4 hercules.s01e02.eye.of.the.beholder.ntsc.dvd.dd5.1.x264hi10-lightspeed.mp4 hercules.s01e03.the.road.to.calydon.ntsc.dvd.dd5.1.x264hi10-lightspeed.mp4 ... I need to rename all those subtitle files to match the video file name so the media player can play it automatically, but to do it manually by pressing F2, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V is quite painful. |

Hi,
I'm renaming some JPGs in an effort to eventually sort out duplicates, so I'm thinking to rename the files based on the model of the camera used in the EXIF data and then ad some random numbers to avoid duplicate names. Some JPGs don't have EXIF data, so if there's not EXIF data then there can be no model, so if there's no model I'd like to add text like "No EXIF data". So two example JPGs would like this: Nikon D100 56213211.jpg No EXIF data 2325254.jpg Thanks for any help. The significance of using EXIF data is that I will eventually sort the JPGs into folders based on date taken. |

I've gotten the answer to this before but evidently didn't save the information
I'm looking to change something like: The Stiff Little Fingers - At The Edge - PMK KARAOKE to: Stiff Little Fingers, The - At The Edge - PMK KARAOKE But it keeps coming out: Stiff Little Fingers, The - At Edge, The - PMK KARAOKE Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Into the Great Wide Open Keeps coming out Tom Petty and Heartbreakers, The - Into Great Wide Open, The Or, with adjustments, some other incorrect outcome. Text to be replaced: (The |An |A )(.*?) - Replace with: \2, \1 Occurrence: 1st (or 'all' but I've tried other options) Case Sensitive: yes (but I've tried other options) Use regular expressions: yes (but I've tried other options) Apply to: Name Please help me, I'm not too bright. (I'm gonna copy & save this info in case I must reinstall again) And THANK YOU ahead of time. |

Hi !
I use rename method to change standard photo file name (i.e. DJI_0001.jpg) into meaningful and sortable file name (i.e. 2022.12.05_14.21.00.jpg). <IMG Year>.<IMG Month>.<IMG Day>_<IMG Hour>.<IMG Min>.<IMG Sec> Unfortunately, the camera didn't jump from summer to winter time, so I have to correct it: <IMG Year>.<IMG Month>.<IMG Day>_(<IMG Hour>-1).<IMG Min>.<IMG Sec> Please, help me with syntax (brackets etc.). Thank You, Jerry |

I have done a fair bit of lurking here over the years to figure out questions like this and picked up a bit of regex along the way but this time I need to ask for help.
I'm taking over managment of the family media archive from my late father and I want to change the organization system a bit for the sake of my brain but I'm not sure how to do what I'm trying to this time. I have a bunch of home movies that follow the following naming scheme: occasion.##.##.##.[FamilyMemberFirstName].[FamilyMemberLastName].(a bunch of other words I'd like to remove with periods between them such as the model of camera the video was taken in that my father used to sort his archive).[360p or 480p or 720p or 1080p or 2160p].mp4 For example one file is named: Christmas.19.12.25.Bill.Jones.PanSonic.Lumix.DMC.G-85.10.2160p.mp4 I'd like to remove the chacacters between Jones. and .2160p.mp4 but the names vary in length and final chacacter so the only way I can think to do it would be to remove all characters between the 6th period (which always coinsides with the end of the last name) and the resolution number. I am happy to do multiple passes to cover each resolution [for example only removing the characters between the 6th period and 1080p.mp4 and then repeating the process for the other resolution numbers] but I don't know to target that character set. Does anyone have a suggestion that might help me out? I know this is a super strange & specific request but I'm at a loss on how to implement it myself. |

Hi, first question here on forum, I'm the rookie on this...
I have uploaded a lot of media files from my iPhone to my cloud storage, and then tried to rename them with this: "<Year Created>-<Month Created>-<Day Created> <Hour Created>.<Min Created>.<Sec Created> (<Inc Nr:1>)" BUT I only get today's info on all files and not the actual creation information that I can find in ex: MediaInfo and check "com.apple.quicktime.creationdate" and that's where the real creation information is stored. HOW do I write to rename all files to its Original creation date and time? Please guide me step by step. THX in advance for an answer. |

Hi Folks,
I have some photos to rename and the meta datas hours are wrong by one hour. I am working with Substrings since the date of modifiying is not the right one. On Example: PXL_20221002_120005341.jpg Formula: <Substr:5:4>-<Substr:9:2>-<Substr:11:2> <Substr:14:2>.<Substr:16:2>.<Substr:18:2> New Name: 2022-10-02 12.00.53 But the right time in this case would be 13.00.53 (equals 1pm) Can I add a +1 tp the Substring <Substr:14:2>? Thanks ahead. Flip |

Hello, I use AR v3.88 and I would like to disable the video analysis when importing .mp4 files,
So I checked in the preferences 'Don't analyse video metadata': https://i.vgy.me/L5TXAu.png But then after import, it start to analyse the files : https://i.vgy.me/vpA214.png And in my case it makes the program stuck for a very long time. So it seems this feature is broken. Anyone also reported this? |

I think AR is great and recently I've been using it to rename photos using their geotag information. In fact, it's why I licensed my copy. But I've noticed the method seems to fail for what appears to be older photos, even though they have geotag information embedded in them. I have a rule that renames photos like this:
<GPS City> <GPS Lat> <GPS Lng> <Img Year><Img Month><Img Day>_<Img Hour><Img Min><Img Sec> This works for most, but not all, JPGs. A typical result will be: Oakville 43.4595 -79.7848 20200916_154645.jpg The filename keeps its date and time information, and prefixes the geographic and lat-long information. But it doesn't always seem to work. Some older photos (this one from 2009) end up named things like: 0.0000 0.0000 20090418_121744 0401.jpg This is in spite of the photo having the following in EXIF: GPS Altitude Ref Sea Level Altitude 170.0000 Longitude Ref West Longitude 79° 47' 14.20" Latitude Ref North Latitude 43° 27' 25.40" However, newer photos that successfully get renamed (like the one mentioned in the first instance) have something like the following EXIF: GPS Latitude Ref North Latitude 43° 27' 34.14" Longitude Ref West Longitude 79° 47' 5.10" Altitude Ref Sea Level Altitude 128.1000 TimeStamp 19 46 45 Processing Method ASCII Date Stamp 2020:09:16 I don't understand why AR is picking up info from what appears to be exactly the same tags in the latter instance, but not the former. Is there anything that can be done to rectify this? |

Hey,
I have a folder of pictures with pictures (name is irrelevant), which I want to name as following: S1_L1 S2_L1 S3_L1 S1_L2 S2_L2 S3_L2 S1_L3 ... I tried to script it like this: var object_id; var layer_number; var i; if ((index - 1) % 3 = 0) { object_id = '1'; i = index + 2 } else { if ((index - 2) % 3 = 0) { object_id = '2'; i = index + 1 } else { object_id = '3'; i = index } layer_number = Integer.toString(i); return 'S' + object_id + '_L' + layer_number; } If include the last } i get the error 'invalid lvalue' if I exclude it, I get a parse-error. Where is my mistake? Many thanks in advance! Kindly, Richard |

I searched and saw someone else had question. However the response wasn't helpful at all.
I hate traversing a tree to find a folder to add items to work on especially when it's got a huge amount of folders and the application hangs for several seconds why it populates the tree... then you have to scroll down to find your folder somewhere in the branches... oh and good luck if you accidently hit the arrow key to close the top folder... now you get to start all over again! It's the most tedious, frustrating thing about adding files to work on especially when it would be instantaneous if you could just paste the path that you are working on! I have supported the dev by purchasing a license and think this application is very helpful for renumbering/renaming folders and files but for the love of all that is holy would you please add an option to past the working directory path for directories!!! searched post: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=3958 |

Not sure if this software is even still under development or if the forums are monitored anymore, but I have a request for a modification of this setting.
The main reason I've switched to AR is for the TV renaming feature, since it's so much easier having it look up names from the online database. The main problem I have with this, though, is that show names often have unsupported characters in them, hence the need for the "Replace unsupported with" option. Unfortunately, only allowing one blanket replacement character for all unsupported characters is far from ideal, because then all of them become that one character and it can't be distinguished what it's supposed to be. I use various characters in filenames to represent unsupported ones: ? -> _, * -> +, " -> '', etc. The only way I've been able to sort of use the correct characters is to make regex rules, some that are a bit complicated, to take a best guess at what the original character was based on the context. While I've managed to have it use the correct character most of the time, there will always be situations that it's wrong, and also just having to make so many extra, complex rules is a pain. It would be much easier and more accurate if the program allowed me to specify which characters to use to replace which unsupported ones, so when it's pulling the names from the database, it would for example automatically replaces a ? with a _ and an * with a +. |

It seems like this should be a really easy function to do, however I cannot figure out how to accomplish this.
I have a top level directory with many sub directories. There are probably hundreds of nested folders going down 3,4,5 levels deep. I have my method added, and the directory ... but it appears the application does not automatically traverse all the directories down to each lowest path. Anyone know how to accomplish this? |

I am trying to rename a photo using a .csv file to replace the names on the photos. I want to know if there is a way to load a list of photos by their names, ex: 123.jpg, 345.jpg, 456.jpg and so on. Then create a csv file that has that number associated with a person's name. I think I can do this but the photos have to be in the exact order as their associated number on the csv file. I want to know if Advanced Renamer can "match" the numbers and then replace the name with the name that I have assigned to the associated number. I hope that makes sense.

Hello,
I been using advanced renamer for some years now and I like to ask if the following naming is possible 1- how to rename new files with numbering sequence after existing sequence? example: in a folder called "D:\project1\" I have the following files already: project1-art1.jpg project1-art2.jpg project1-art3.jpg then in the subfolder called "D:\project1\newart" I have the following files already: sagasgsdhsdfgk.jpg werhfncbvdhjgdf.jpg sdfbcncbmvncmc.jpg I want to rename those unamed files with the same as the ones above and move them from "D:\project1\newart" to the parent directory "D:\project1\" so it would be project1-art4.jpg project1-art5.jpg project1-art6.jpg I have this scenario for thousands of folders (project1, project2, etc.) and their "art" subfolders so I want Advanced Renamer to detect if there is already files in the parent directory and detect the last number in the file name, rename the files in the subfolder with the same sequence and move them to the parent directory I know that I can use something like <DirName:1><Inc NrDir:x> where I need to change x based on how many art I already have, but that would be a lot of manual change work to achieve this for this huge number of folders. 2- how to add folders with specific name? so in this case I have another huge collection of folders and subfolders with different names. I only want to add the subfolders with the name "newcollection" to Advanced Renamer so I can rename them something else. I know I can use Windows Explorer to search for them, but due to huge amount of folders, it takes a lot of time and I am afraid of errors due to manual search and select of folders I hope these issues are understandable and can be solved thanks in advance |

Hello, this is my first post.
I am a relatively new user of Advanced Renamer. I last used it when Google Photos took over my phone Gallery and deleted a bunch of pics from the device. I had to restore, and I lost all file date info - but I was able to restore the file dates from EXIF data. Genial! My suggestion is about the folder selector that appears when I add a directory to the current batch by Add -> Directories. I think it would be good to have a text field where we could write the directory path. Pasting a copied path in that field would save a good bit of tree expansion and mouse clicking to get to deeply nested folders. Thanks for reading! |

Hi,
I discovered strange behavior when renaming files with sequence numbers per folder I have files in directories like so TV_Show TV_Show_S01 Part 1.txt Part 2.txt Part 3.txt Part 4.txt TV_Show_S02 Part 5.txt Part 6.txt Part 7.txt Part 8.txt what I wanted to do is using this formula <DirName:1>E<Inc NrDir:1>_Part<Inc NrDir:1> so that the files will be renamed like TV_Show TV_Show_S01 TV_Show_S01E01_Part01 TV_Show_S01E02_Part02 TV_Show_S01E03_Part03 TV_Show_S01E04_Part04 TV_Show_S02 TV_Show_S02E01_Part01 TV_Show_S02E02_Part02 TV_Show_S02E03_Part03 TV_Show_S02E04_Part04 but what happened is that Advanced Renamer is renaming them with even and odd Inc for some reason so they appear like this TV_Show TV_Show_S01 TV_Show_S01E01_Part02 TV_Show_S01E03_Part04 TV_Show_S01E05_Part06 TV_Show_S01E07_Part08 TV_Show_S02 TV_Show_S02E01_Part02 TV_Show_S02E03_Part04 TV_Show_S02E05_Part06 TV_Show_S02E07_Part08 I cannot see anything in my formula that leads to this behavior so I made it on two steps to make it work one step did this formula <DirName:1>E<Inc NrDir:1>_Part then closed the software opened again and add the files then used this formula <Name><Inc NrDir:1> it worked but I do not think this should be a two times work regards |

Hi
I'm a new user of advanced renamer and wonder if it could solve this issue. I have a bunch of mp3 files that have no ID3 tags. However they are named in the following pattern: track. artist - title eg 01. The Beatles - Two Of Us I was wondering if the filename parts could be copied into the the appropriate metadata fields. This is the opposite of file renaming but I'm hoping it can be done. TIA |

I have folders
Folder A, Folder B, Folder C Each file contains the same files File1, File2, File3 I would like a folder count, appended to the filename. If it is the first folder, append 1. If it is the second folder. Append 2. Or a serialize function where it only increases count, on folder change. New files would be 01 File1, 01 File2, 01 File3 02 File1, 02 File2, 02 File3 03 File1, 03 File2, 03 File3 You guys seem VERY responsive in your support. So. Might as well ask |

When I use Advance Renamer 3.88, it is removing the Exif information from the Date Taken Field, GPS Location, GPS Accuracy and probably others..
It is completely blanking it out. Is there a way to preserve this information so it doesn't remove it upon renaming? |

When you load the files from a USB connection, its showing the path as C:\program files\AdvancedRanamer\ although the files are in the USB location phone location?
When you try to rename, it shows error than files not found on c:\program files\AdvancedRenamer How can you get around this without having to copy everything to the local machine again? |

Hi there,
I've got some files I want to rename. They all contain 1 date, one or a few words, a counter, the old filename, an underscore, date, counter, time. See three examples below. April 29 apple 01 blablabla bla blabla_220429_0020_1532u May 04 carrot 03 random old filename_220504_0013_1215u June 07 apple pie 03 old filename to remove_220607_0001_1317u The length of the old filename can be anything, the same goes for the text between the date and the counter in the beginning. The last part, from the first underscore till the final 'u' always has the same length. I want to remove the old filename and the underscore. New filenames should look like: April 29 apple 01 220429_0020_1532u May 04 carrot is stupid 03 220504_0013_1215u June 07 apple pie 03 220607_0001_1317u Can anyone of you help? Thanks a lot. Jeroen |

I want to replace the date created of TV shows I have downloaded with the date the episode was aired. I have no idea how to go about it.
There is TV episode tags available for year, month, and day of TV shows, but I have no idea how to incorporate them in the TimeStamp method. The only way out it seems is to first add the info to the filename, and then change the created date using that pattern. But I do not want to mess with the filenames, making this a 3 step process : 1. Add the Date to filename 2. Apply the date to Created Date using TimeStamp method 3. Remove the Date from filename I am hoping someone more experienced than me is able to give a more elegant solution. |

I have a lot of files. Example:
Test01 Test02 Test03 Preview01 Preview02 Preview03 Done01 Done02 Done03 I need to split this files into folders creating and separating by first part of the name. Like this: Test | - Test01 | - Test02 | - Test03 Preview | - Preview01 | - Preview02 | - Preview03 Done | - Done01 | - Done02 | - Done03 Always the first X chars are common that I want to move into a folder. Like an example: MAP23-01XXXXXX.PNG MAP23-01XXX.PNG MAP25-02XXXXXXXX.PNG MAP25-02XXX.PNG All I need is to group this files into folders, removing useless variables to crate a folder and insert files correspondent in this folder, like: MAP23-01 MAP25-02 I already try: Used a script to create and move each file in a folder that has the same name, and than rename a folder to merge, like this: MAP23-01XXXXXX - MAP23-01XXXXXX.PNG MAP23-01XXX - MAP23-01XXX.PNG MAP25-02XXXXXXXX - MAP25-02XXXXXXXX.PNG MAP25-02XXX - MAP25-02XXX.PNG Than, my idea was to rename this folders, leaving inicial X chars and merge then. But... All rename softwares that I tried, dont merge the folder, append a number or gave an error, leaving like this: MAP23-01 - MAP23-01XXXXXX.PNG MAP23-01(1) - MAP23-01XXX.PNG MAP25-02 - MAP25-02XXXXXXXX.PNG MAP25-02(1) - MAP25-02XXX.PNG The problem is that I have so many files to organize into folders. And I need to organize manually.... I tested move batch mode from advanced renamer, but I fail it. |

Hello,
I'm trying to set up a renaming script, unfortunately without sucess. Problem: I have about 3500 files, named from 0.png to 3499.png. I would like to rename them so that the last 210 pngs (3389 to 3499) are called now 0.png to 210.png and the rest is starting at 211 up to 3499 again. So: 0 --> 211 1 --> 212 ... 3389 --> 0 3390 -->1 ... 3498 -->209 3499 --> 210 It should be easily be done with an if condition. if x < 3500 - 210 then rename to 0, 1, 2 if x >= 3500 - 210 then 211, 212 etc Unfortunately, I dont get the synthax wiht JavaScript to work. Can you help me? Thank you very much! BR Jan |

I am comfortable enough with RegEx, at least in the scope of using them within ARen.
But either ARen does not support it, or I have no idea how to incorporate applying a method to all files that DO NOT match a pattern. For example, I have a lot of files that match the pattern (\w+-\d{4}) and a few that do not and I want to add an underscore at the start of the files that do not match the pattern. I tried [^(\w+-\d{4})] but ARen gives an "Invalid Reg Ex" error. Now, I know I can filter out the files matching the pattern while loading files into ARen by entering the pattern at the Add Folder Dialogue Box and ticking 'Not Matching', but then I would have to enter this pattern every time I need to do this, and day after day, it gets really old. If there is a way to save it as a method, then it makes things easier. I know I am being a little lazy, but I am also being practical, I believe. Anyway, any help in entering NOT RegEx expressions in a method would be greatly appreciated. |

Hi,
I have problems using a csv file to rename my files when there are files with same filenames but different extensions. e.g. this correct csv-file: Old filename;New filename 123456.edrw;NEW_123456.edrw 123456.SLDDRW;NEW_123456.SLDDRW 390041.edrw;NEW_390041.edrw 390041.eprt;NEW_390041.eprt 390041.TIF;NEW_390041.TIF leads to this incorrect result: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kgonvyQNJleuo5j SHhYoA43ZZ-uzQidp/view?usp=sharing I have no Idea what to do! |

I'm organizing a photo library (about 45,000 images) my first pass at renaming gave good results with <Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day>-<RSubstr:1:8>, but there were more files that had been renamed manually or resized so rather than getting something like 2022-01-30-IMG_5678.jpg, I get ----abcdefgh.jpg. All these files appear to have last modified dates so I would like to have a script that uses the modified date if the create date does not exist. It would be really cool if the script could also modify the tag so the <Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day> are reset to the modified date values.

Hi,
I'm sorry that I don't know regular expressions but we have hundreds of files all named in a similar way to the following. 'code' 'space' 'hypen' 'space' 'description of product'.jpg e.g: 12345ABC - Large Red Shirt.jpg I need them all to just be 'code'.jpg e.g. 12345ABC.jpg How to I remove everything between (and including) the first space to the end of the product description please? Many thanks in advance. |

Hi.
Sorry, pretty new at this. I have renamed about 50000 images into format "yyyymmdd_hhmmss", but have come to realise that one camera that was used had the incorrect date and time set. I need to add 347 days and 12 hours onto each picture. I'm not to interested in changing the EXIF data, just the file name. EG. 20150129_023400.jpg should be 20160111_143400.jpg Can any one point me in the right direction? Thank you |

Are there any plans to add a 'Date aquired' option. This is an attribute available in Windows explorer and useful for sorting movies (with random names) in the order taken. It would be very useful to replace the randome names with the date aquired. Thanks for a great app.

Hello,
I really like the software. It's full of options! But I was trying to sort the video files by length to rename them from the shortest to the longest, in that order, adding numbers to the filenames (001, 002, 003...) and I didn't find the option in the columns section. Is there an alternative way to do it? Thank you! |

Hi all,
I've just tried AR to solve a specific problem. The task: I have years of photos saved with the date somewhere in the middle of the file name, e.g. ...[20150129]...JPG . To match my current naming convention I want to move this part to the front. The problem: I'd thought the move method would get me there, but not as I expected. I defined the starting point with \s(?=[^\[\s]*\[) (white space before the [ ) -> works. Target is ^ -> works. What doesn't work is a regular expression as pattern length. I tried \[.+\] which should do the trick, but no dice, no reaction at all. It does work with numbers, though, which solves my problem. But why is AR ignoring my regex there? |

Hi guys,
I'm stumped on this basic renumbering situation. I'm trying to add a numbered item into a list of files with existing numbers and I keep getting the "Possibility of multiple files with same name" error, even though the New Filename column shows the correct numbering I want. The new file I want to insert as -06 is currently labelled as -00. https://imgur.com/a/KqLLSTT What am I doing wrong? |

I've just stumbled upon this great program, but I just don't understand all these regular expressions and stuff. I've been looking at the forum but still don't understand how to solve my problem.
Is there a way to NOT change, or to protect the last part of a filename, when using the "New Name" feature ? Example: "Light_IC1848_300.0s_Bin1_20230202-220946_-19.9C_0001.fit" I want to change the first part, but the "-19.9C_0001.fit" should always stay the same as the original. The total length of the filename is not always the same. "I_want_to_change_this_part_but_not_the_last_part-19.9C_0001.fit" |

Hello.
No matter how much I search, it doesn't come out, so I'm writing it down. File name only contains numeric characters. I'm going to add a number here. Example) 1999.jpg -> 2999.jpg I've tried everything in the script, but I haven't been able to get the results I want. I beg you very much. |

I would need to automatically rename in a series of subfolders in which there are images and each folder should start from number 1. How can I speed up the time using a command line execution? HI P.M. |

I have a directory with pics and videos. I would like the output filename and path to reflect the date/time they were taken (not creation date of the file).
If I have IMG_1234.JPG and MVI_5678.MP4 I would like them copied/renamed to: z:\Pictures\YYYY\MM\DD\YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_IMG_1234.JPG z:\Pictures\YYYY\MM\DD\YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_MRI_5678.MP4 I got the name to change with: NEW NAME <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> <name>.<Ext> REMOVE PATTERN _ REPLACE space with _ I have not figured out how to change the output folder using DateTimeOrig. I can only change it to the file date which is not what I need. I can put <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> in the output path but the format is "YYYY_MM_DD HH_MM_SS". How do I get the path to be z:\Pictures\YYYY\MM\DD? I really want to be able to edit the path similar to the way I edit the name. |

Hello,

Hello,
We are trying to open our firewall to allow the registration of our commercial license. We get an "Error communicating with the server" when we try to register the license. We want to know what is the FQDN of the remote server ARen.exe communicates with to register the license. Then we can create a firewall rule to allow our hosts to communicate with your server. Thanks in advance, Daniel |

Hi
I have a use-case where several thousand files would be renamed using random selection from a pre-prepared word list using between 2-4 words per file name. The need is to create names that are unique and memorable rather than just a string of random alpha numeric characters. Is this possible in Advanced Renamer? Many thanks B |

Hi, I have the following script which is working well, but what I would love to do is to move files in the Large Images directory if their filename includes either A1 or B2 or C3. Any advice please?
if (item.name.includes("A1")) item.newPath = item.path + "Large Images"; - Do I just need to list everyone separately (there are quite a few)? if (item.name.includes("A1")) item.newPath = item.path + "Large Images"; if (item.name.includes("B2")) item.newPath = item.path + "Large Images"; if (item.name.includes("C3")) item.newPath = item.path + "Large Images"; Also is there a way to move files into a Subdirectory of Large Images at all please? Apologies that I don't know more about this. Many thanks, Emily |

If this excellent tool is still being worked on then I'd like to request the following feature to be considered for inclusion in a future release.
When working on a large number of files the only way to find which files will be renamed and which ones won't is to scroll up and down the list and look for the non-grey 'New Filename' entries. It would be extremely helpful if the files that do not need renaming could be hidden from view. It would also be useful if they could be unmarked so no redundant rename is attempted. I searched the forum and a couple of other threads requesting a similar feature so it appears it would be a useful addition. Unfortunately in both cases there was no response from the developer as to whether this will or won't be implemented, which is why I'm adding my own request. The previous threads are: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=13110 https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=12806 Thanks! |

I downloaded the subtitles for a TV show, and want to remove part of the designation on the files.
The files are named: TVShowE0XS0XTitle.of.the.episode.DVDRip.720p.byzoomie.srt Where S0X= the season number and e0x = the episode number (and of course the title of the episode). I want to select all the files and then remove the .DVDRip.720p.byzommie from all of the files. So far I've only used the app to rename image files, and add the date and time to them (which was really easy to do) so I have not the first clue how to accomplish this, or even where in the app I would do it. I saw some other questions that sounded similar and had answers, but I don't know the app well enough to translate them into what to actually do and where. Any suggestions are much appreciated! |

Hello ,
the files i§d like to rename should take the name of the respective directories; unfortunately (or luckily), those directories all carry the ending .eyetv now i have the rule (replace) <Name> (replace with) <DirName:X> but would like that file gets the name of the directory, but the file extension truncated. should be possible. (without batch renaming the directories first, since the .eyetv ending of the directories is useful for other programs) |

I have thousands of files that fall in one of the formats below & I need to get them uniform
6_10_20 6_16_20 TUE 06_18_20 06_20_20 TUE FRI 5_6_22 MON 10_5_20 😸 SAT 10_10_20🦄 SUN 10_4_20☀ï¸_ THURS 07_07_22 7_28_20 TUES 8_5_23 WED I need them to end up something like "(Week of the year}_08_22_23 MON.xlsx" My first thought was to remove all letter characters but don't know how to focus on removing all the letters except for just using remove and then typing in each day of the week. Then Removing the emojis that appear in some of the names. Adding the week of the year to the front. Then finding a way to add the days of the week back to all of them. I have browsed the forum and have found some solutions that come close to each step but they refer to javascript and need a slight modification to work for what I need and I'm not familiar with js to make the change needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you |

I was renaming files in a folder, and it showed success, but it actually deleted everything in the folder. I attempted the undo previous batch and got the error code 101. I don't know how to add a screenshot to this forum, but i took one anyway. Is there any way to retrieve my now missing files?

i have to files, let us assume that first file is named 331 and second file is named 332.
But the 331 file should be named 332 and 332 file should be named 331. And it should be done in the same folder like that, there are multiple files to be swaped. Any possible way to do it?? |

Hi. When I Add 3000-4000 files (all images), the Analyzing Files dialog comes up and can take many hours before it finishes. Sometimes I can cancel, but most of the time canceling does nothing, it just keeps going. Is this normal? Am I missing something? I'm not sure what it is analyzing, but my renaming needs are pretty simple. I don't mind the actual renaming time, this is about just loading the files into the system so that I can rename them.
Thanks, Matt |

I wrote about a similar problem last week. User #David Lee was helpful and problem solved.
To put it in its simplest form, I need to capitalize the words after the @ sign - up to the "hyphen" sign. Or after the word that comes after the @ sign - if there is no "hyphen" I need to make them all BIG. You can read the following to tell you more. My previous problem was converting text like ( Xxx - Xxx - Xxx ) in parentheses to this ( XXX - Xxx - Xxx ) in parentheses. I made it thanks to #David Lee. #David Lee gave me the codes (^[^-]*-) and \U1 for this issue and it was resolved. What I want to do now is have "@" marked places in filenames. All my content has similar loop. For example, the code above did the following: Filename changed from this ( XXX - Xxx Xxx @ Xxx ) to this ( XXX @ Xxx - Xxx @ Xxx ) in parentheses. It should look like the following. This " : " sign is used for toggling. ! XXX @ Xxx - Xxx : XXX @ XXX - Xxx XXX - Xxx @ Xxx : XXX - Xxx @ XXX Filenames can be very long or short, but the structure is similar in all of them. Let me summarize briefly for you to understand in more detail. The first sentence is a NAME, and the next - the message from that person after "dash". Another NAME comes after the "@" sign. I'm trying to capitalize all the nouns in the sentence. There is an "@" sign before all nouns except at the beginning of sentences. So after this sign it should be capitalized until a "hyphen" and/or sentence end. Thanks in advance to everyone who reads and helps. |

What a wonderful software! Thanks I appreciate it to the fullest.
I spent too long for an answer for this possibly simple problem, but can't find an answer. I would like to append the folder name as prefix while keeping part of the file name, if its possible. For example:- From folder Movie name (2015) [Br.Hd2.H10b.Ec8.C.S-SunMan] Files Movie name 1 (2015) [Br.Hd2.Hevc.Ec3.8ch-SunMan].mkv Movie name 1 (2015) [Br.Hd2.Hevc.Ec3.8ch-SunMan].nfo Movie name 1 (2015) [Br.Hd2.Hevc.Ec3.8ch-SunMan]-fanart.jpg Movie name 1 (2015) [Br.Hd2.Hevc.Ec3.8ch-SunMan]-poster.jpg I'd like to rename the files as follows, which is really the folder name plus the -fanart or the -poster in the end. Movie name (2015) [Br.Hd2.H10b.Ec8.C.S-SunMan].mkv Movie name (2015) [Br.Hd2.H10b.Ec8.C.S-SunMan].nfo Movie name (2015) [Br.Hd2.H10b.Ec8.C.S-SunMan]-fanart.jpg Movie name (2015) [Br.Hd2.H10b.Ec8.C.S-SunMan]-poster.jpg I have hundreds of these, if not thousands. Would be too difficult to do manually. If, and when you get a chance, please instruct in detail. Thanks in advance. |

If, like me, you rename a lot of of files frequently, the Undo Previous Batch window gets so full it leaves the program unresponsive for a long while, almost like it's about to crash. If we could remove batch history older than x days, that would be a really nice feature, I think. Thanks for the great program, by the way!

Hallo alle zusammen,
ich möchte viele viele Bilder und Videos umbennen. Das habe ich vor 2018 meist mit PictInfExtractor gut hinbekommen. jetzt will ich die Bilder der letzten 4-5 jahren Jahren nach GPS daten LAND, STADT in ORDNERN sortieren. PictInfExtractor ist leider nicht in der Lage. Bei Bildern will ich 1. nach GPS Land und Stadt ORDNEN, Sortieren UND umbennen falls es vorhanden ist wenn es doch nicht vorhanden ist 2. nach Bild-Ersellungsdatum, falls es vorhanden ist wenn es doch nicht vorhanden ist, ersatzweise nach Änderungsdatum usw. Ich bedanke mich vor ab und hoffe auf Hilfe. DANKE |

Hi,
The tool looks good, but i have an issue. My file naming convention is YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_CCCC and the extension. CCCC is a incrementing numbering after sorting based on the capture time. My files are JPG and NEF (Nikon's raw format). To create my desired file name I have to use the tool twice. First, I rename the file to include the original date and time in the filename to be able to sort for the numbering. This step would be skipped if the tool could display the NEF's capture time in the Date Taken column. Even if I set what Exif field to be used in the settings. Is there any way to show the NEF's capture date in the Date Taken column? Thanks, Peter |

I'm in the process of working with a massive archive of images (over 120,000 in this subset alone) and trying to add only files that have a filename with the following format: 1234-5678.jpg. The files have several different image format extensions, not just .jpg. There are some .webp and .tiff files in there, so I can't assume the extension is only 3 characters.
I've tried several different PCRE expressions in the regular expression match box and can't get any to work. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

Hello everyone,
I want to rename many many pictures and videos. Before 2018 I was mostly able to do that with PictInfExtractor. Now I want to sort the pictures from the last 4-5 years by GPS data COUNTRY, CITY in FOLDERS. Unfortunately, PictInfExtractor is not able to. For pictures I will 1. ORDER, sort AND rename by GPS country and city if it exists if it doesn't exist 2. According to the image creation date, if it is available if it is not available, alternatively according to the modification date, etc. Thank you in advance and I hope you can help. THANKS |

Hi,
One of the steps when adding or removing certain parts of a filename is the counting of the position where it starts and ends. So, is there a way within the program to position our cursor, highlight the parts that needs to be replaced. And the program would mark the position and fill in the count. Right now, I have to copy the file name, paste it into Notepad++ just to get those 2 values. Or am I doing it wrongly? Henry |

Hello, I’ve been using Advanced Renamer for about 1 month and I really love that the program helped me a lot and saved me a great of time. I use the program to rename multiple files (videos) in a multiple folder. The question is, is there any option or script that allow me to rename multiple files in a multiple folder and separate the Incrementing Number to number 0001 at the same time?
https://ibb.co/DfHJSG1 The “pikjulseo” end at the 00039 and continue to 00040 “pikjuls”. Is there any option or script to make “pikjuls” started from 0001 again? Thanks |

I currently have files with the filenames such as: "June 1, 2020", "December 10, 2010" etc.
I want to rename it to: "2020-06-01", "2010-12-10" is there any way to do this? I can't see a way in the software when I'm trying. I cannot base it on creation date, modified date etc, it must be based on the existing file name |

I have a csv file containing the image name in one column, e.g. “12345” which matches the SKU.
I also have another column containing the product tile e.g. “My Fantastic Widget”. The images could be in different formats e.g. “12345.jpg” or “12345.png”. I need to rename the file “12345-my-fantastic-widget.jpg” or “12345-my-fantastic-widget.png” keeping the original extension. How do I do this? |

I would like to remove unnecessary information after a key delimiter.
For this example, it would be "-". Samples: 6 Brainy Habits of the Wisest People - The Healthy - Unknown.docx 7 Traits That Separate a Wise Person from a Smart Person - Learning Mind - learning mind what does wisdom look like – a faithful sower Ideally, the syntax to remove the space before "-" and then all characters after "_". But, of course, leaving the Ext. text. Thanks, Phil |

Hey,
it's a repost, because I can't reply to the old post: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=4444 I want to do the following: As a name collision rule, I want to append an incrementing number. Example: Foo.txt Foo.txt Bar.txt Bar.txt Bar.txt The resulting names should be: Foo.txt Foo_1.txt Bar.txt Bar_1.txt Bar_2.txt With “Append incrementing number” I'm getting: Foo.txt Foo_001.txt Bar.txt Bar_001.txt Bar_002.txt How can I achieve that, without running Advanced Renamer a second time to remove the “00”? |

Hi, I have this pattern: date_username_code_sequence and want the username to come first.
Examples: 2023-04-21_User01_1226392686502063109_0.jpg would be User01_2023-04-21_1226392686502063109_0.jpg 2021-10-11_Username_here_1226392686502026109_0.jpg would be Username_here_2021-10-11_1226392686502026109_0.jpg where _ is used as separator, date, code and sequence always have the same length, but the username can change length and even include a _ on it. Can someone help me? Thanks. |

Hello!
I've always used Advanced Ranamer for bulk file renaming. I was even able to use Regular Expression. But I am not able to rename folders. When I select Remove patterns and Rename Folders, and then Add, the listview only lists one folder, it doesn't list the folders to rename. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks! |

Hi,
I would like to write the following script: if <ExifTool:Make> = "Canon" or "Apple" rename image to <ExifTool:CreateDate> I'm trying the following, but there is an error (undefined not callable array..): const arr = ["Canon", "Apple"]; const exifMake = item.exifToolValue("Make"); if (arr.includes(exifMake)) { return item.newName = item.exifToolValue("CreateDate") } Could you please advise how to do it in a right way. Also, as far as I understand from user_guide it is not possible to mix script and regular rules. In case I need any further filename modification I have to continue doing it in script OR I can add just another rule? |

For example. If I have 100 folders that look something like this:
Hello - Welcome -[T3RD001]-HI Hello - UnWelcome -[T3RD002]-HA Hello - WelcomeAgain -[T3RD003]-HO Each one has [T3RD] Followed by 3 or 4 numbers inside the brackets next to it, I want to take all 100 of those folders and move the text [T3RD001] to the beginning of each folder in a rename. Example: [T3RD001] - Hello - Welcome [T3RD002] - Hello - UnWelcome [T3RD003] - Hello - WelcomeAgain [T3RD004] - Hello - UnWelcomeOnceMore How can I tell the App to take all the highlighted folders and move [T3RD001] etc from the middle of the file name to the start? I'm trying to put them all in order based on that [T3RD####] string of text. Wracking my brain trying to figure this out, thanks. |

If there was an announcement somewhere explaining this, then my apologies for asking, but why can't replies be made on some posts? I was trying to reply on something only a few months old and it won't let me. At first I thought maybe it was just my account or something, but then I noticed a few other people saying the same thing.
I just wanted to ask in case the powers that be behind the site didn't know it was happening. |

Just started using AR.
Main thing I am after is adding the location of the photo in the file name. Using the location tag gives me the city but not the point of interest or a more specific location. A forum search showed that this addition was requested before so I am wondering whether is possible or will not be available. Many Thanks |

When using the <Img Subject> tag in a rename method, it did not render the information in the metadata in the new name. Substituting the <ExifTool:XPSubject> corrected the situation and the file was renamed as expected. I will note that the metadata was visible in 3 separate appliciations including the Windows Explorer Properties window. I hope this helps.

Hi -
Am just trying to bulk locate and rename via truncation long file names on my Windows machine so I can adhere to the 256 character limit; I don't need complex renaming, just basically locate the long files and then chop off, say 50 characters at the end of the long ones. Is there a preset for this ? I've looked on Youtube thinking this would be a very common need for basic users, but can't find anything about this Thanks Jason |

Hello,short question:
- many files in 1 folder, filenames have different length - all files have filetype 'jpg' - Action: insert date (manual input) before the ending '.jpg' Can this be done? Thanks. ----------------------------------------- Solved: I found the 'Apply to name and extension' button, plus 'Add' at position n / Backwarts. Used for adding own creation date for groups of pictures without chaning the first part of the filename. Thanks. |

This is almost certainly way out of the scope of the program, but I thought I'd ask anyway!
Would it be at all feasible to have functionality added to the program that would take a downloaded TV show file, check the show & episode name against an online database (such as TheTVDB), and rename the files accordingly? I currently use TV Renamer to do this, but having the functionality built into Advanced Renamer would be great: https://github.com/tvrenamer Thanks for reading. EDIT: I'm an idiot, the program already has this functionality 🤦 It seems a lot less convenient to use than TV Renamer, though. |

Hi
I have created about 700 unique patterns in which to rename files... there probably is an easier way to do it, but i found that to be the easiest for me..... the issue i am now faced with is that one of those patterns is not operating correctly..... Is there a way of finding out which pattern is being used to rename a particular file? I drag the file into the rename file area, can i check here to see which pattern is being used somehow? I have got the following columns listed - Filename and New Filename. default set minus the error and path columns Thanks |

Hi,
First, sorry for my lack of knowlege here, the syntax to make this work is a little above my pay grade! I looked at the help and through the forum to try and find a solution, but had no luck. I have a large music collection and have a specific naming format for the mix part of the filename. The 'Mix' name should be in lower case, not affecting the case of the rest of the file. The mix name is always in-between two brackets, BUT there may be other brackets in the filename (such as part of the title) that I don't want affected. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do: Original - Lee Davey-Brown - Ah Yeah (Louis Lennon Remix) {2022}.wav Kohmi - Systems (Extended Mix) {2022}.wav Karl Seery - Move Your Feet (Rocking By Myself) (Original Mix) {2021}.wav Desired Result: Lee Davey-Brown - Ah Yeah (louis lennon remix) {2022}.wav Kohmi - Systems (extended mix) {2022}.wav Karl Seery - Move Your Feet (Rocking By Myself) (original mix) {2021}.wav I tried a few basic regular expressions, and had limited luck (for example .+\( seemed to be giving me the exact OPPOSITE result I needed!) and also tried using the $ expression, but can't figure out how to get it to read backwards. I also tried some exressions to search for items between brackets, but again, was unable to target the LAST bracket set in the name. Any help or a nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated! Thanks! |

Years ago, I saved many images named in this method:
mm-dd-yy 09-21-12.jpg I have no exif data to work with and am simply wanting to rename hundreds of images based on their existing file name, so that they are consistent with the other thousands named as yyyy-mm-dd 2012-09-22 Renaming: FROM > TO mm-dd-yy > yyyy-mm-dd 09-21-12. > 2012-09-22 Thanks for any and all help with this.

A while back I downloaded Advanced Renamer and I really like using it because it works great and easy to use! I was so impressed I purchased a license key for personal use and entered into the dialog box and clicked on Apply I got a message "error communicating with the server".
So I checked out the program and the web address in the program does not match the current Advanced Renamer website, The address in the program starts with "www.http://" so the program will not link up with your now secured server. In the meantime I've been closing out the registration dialog box to use the program. It would be nice to use Advanced Renamer without having to continually close out the registration dialog box. My question is how can I register my license? Advanced Renamer - Personal License Order #45140690 Thanks in advance, greg888 |

Hello.
How I write a script in such a situation. I have a folder with files named as: PAGE_ with a growing number 01, 02, 03... . But some files are duplicates named as: PAGE_ 02 (2). I would like Advanced Renamer to take all these duplicates and move them to an example folder: C: \Lab. This folder will be deleted later. Advenced Renamer - This application has great potential, but unfortunately, I have a lot of difficulties writing the scripts despite the indications on your WEB. kind regards |

Hello All! I have a folder with many files in it of different type. I want to rename all the files, keeping their original names, but a sequence number must be added in front of each file. After the sequence number there should be a delimiter, for example a period or an underscore or just a dash to separate the sequence number from the file name and after it begin the original file name.
How do I do this? Thanks! |

Preface: Yes, I used the search feature. I'm just as surprised as you are, but I couldn't find a single thread asking how to remove "The " from the very beginning of file names, contextually.
Situation: I have ~350 MP3 files. Some of them have "The " at the very beginning of the artist name, like "The Rembrandts", and I'm trying to get Advanced Renamer to test the first four characters and remove "The " if it exists. These files are mixed in with hundreds of others that do not begin with "The ", and I want Advanced Renamer to leave those files alone. |

Hi I am new user using the free version of advance renamer.
Everything seems fine it's fairly straightforward I'm trying to name my pictures from my phone after I have copied them to my computer. Everything seems to go fine but when I use the GPS example from the help I copy and paste it into the text box and then when I hit start it renames it by date and time as expected but no GPS information shows ie: City state etc. But when I go into the properties from advanced renamer and click on the GPS coordinates it takes me perfectly to a Google map that is exactly where I was standing when I took the picture so I know the coordinates are working from the file I know advanced renamer can see them but it's not getting translated and being used as part of the file name. So then I wind up with a file named with the correct date and time but no location info. Thanks in advance for your help. Robert |

Please guide me how to batch rename folders through a JavaScript according to my following requirement:
1. The folders to be renamed using the full first and last name initial separated by a comma. 2. Every folder name must be in small letters For Example: Lets suppose the folder's actual name is John Doe / John Steven Doe and etc. So I want the folders to be renamed as john.d / john.d |

Okay so I currently have about 11,000 images all patterned up. There are 1100 folders roughly, and in each of those folders are 5 images, each following a pattern.
So each folder has 4 images with the words "avatar" along with a direction (like ne for northeast for instance to create "avatarne"). Then the 5th image has the word that I want the other 4 images to have at the start with proper casing, these are pictures of animals so in one case it'll be "deer" or "eagle" or something else, but I want that string as a pattern in the front of the other 4 images. So an end desired result would be "deeravatarne" without quotes. Is there a way for me to stitch the string that I want from this singular image onto the other 4 while doing this in batch since there are a million folders all following this select pattern? Or is that too complicated for this program? |

I downloaded and tested version 3.89. I really liked most of the improvements, but I won't be using it because the TV show import, which I use frequently, has been removed. I wonder why it was removed if it worked very well and is very useful. Will it be possible to restore it in a future version of the program? Thank you for your attention.

Exif does not support EML files and I have 1000s of them that need naming.
The subject of each email is located in plain text within the content with the tag "Subject: " So far I have <file Line:20>.<Inc Nr:1>.<ext> bundled with Remove count 9 starting at 1 which works on some of them, but only a small percentage. (inc Nr is included incase two emails share the same subject). But the Subject tag isn't always on line 20. Is there a way i can extract "Subject: " from the content and us that to rename the file with? Thank you :) |

I would like to know if it is possible to add to the name of a folder the total size of the files it contains, regardless of their extension.
For example, I have a folder X with 3 files, the first is 1.5 GB, the second is 3.2 GB, and the third is 0.5 GB, and I would like to rename the folder to X 5.2 GB, which is the sum of the size of the 3 files it contains. Thank you very much for your attention and I apologize for my bad English. |

When I [Start Batch] the files reload for renaming, instead of clearing. Sometimes I like this and sometimes I don't, but I'm not sure how I set that as a default.

Hi everyone,
I have a file with this pattern: PXL_20230305_155417718 I want to have it in this pattern: 2023-03-05 15.54.17 So i used this method: <Substr:5:4>-<Substr:9:2>-<Substr:11:2> <Substr:14:2>.<Substr:16:2>.<Substr:18:2> So far not a problem. My problem is: that the timecode is one hour behind the actual time. So I would need to add a+1 to <Substr:14:2>. I want it to look like that: 2023-03-05 16.54.17 Is there any solution? Thanks in advance! Philipp |

Hello,
The shooting date of a photo can be encoded in several exif tags : DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized and DateTime. My smartphone (and probably others) only uses the DateTimeOriginal tag. The date of my smartphone photos appears in the photo properties with Windows Explorer but not in the "Date taken" column of Advanced Renamer because it uses the DateTime tag. So I can't sort the photos by the shooting date. Would it be possible to change the tag used for the "Date taken" column or add a second column with the "DateTimeOriginal" tag ? Bernard |

With a dark screen setup in windows, the message box background is too bright being white. Also when the choice box pops up to choose folders or files, the tiny circle targets are way to small to make a rapid choice, while their's plenty of space to make them much bigger.

I have a bunch of music files that I'd like to rearrange the names of.
Currently they are ARTIST(.)FILENUMBER( )FILENAME.mp3 I'd like them to be FILENUMBER(.)ARTIST(.)FILENAME.mp3 eg Deigen.20 Cosmic Upside Down.mp3 should be 20.Deigen.Cosmic Upside Down.mp3 and KAWAGUCHI MASAMI NEW ROCK SYNDICATE.09 DAN DAN.mp3 should be 09.KAWAGUCHI MASAMI NEW ROCK SYNDICATE.DAN DAN.mp3 The first dot separates the ARTIST and FILENUMBER and the third character after that is the start of the FILENAME. I don't know much about regex TIA |

Hi admin.
After 1 time trying different renaming software, I found Advanced Renamer very convenient and helped me a lot. But the disadvantage is that for those who are not good at English, it will be a bit difficult to use the software. So I have translated 1 language version into Vietnamese so that Vietnamese people in my country can also use the software more easily. Thanks for creating this amazing software. |

Used the app on and off for year, now I noticed they had a new version so I figured I would jump on and try it. Using the new version, the 64 bit one, I tried to use the add folders option and Tried to load a media directory with 1300 folders in it (mapped drive from my NAS, works fine in everything else). This took a while and eventually it came up with files and folders, like 3800 total. Everything had the folder icon but it was showing all the movies and subtitle files as well. I tried to clear the list and start over because none of the buttons worked and then it hard crashed. Now every time I try to run Aren it throws an error saying "Argument out of Range". If I click OK it launches Aren but nothing works, I can click buttons but every time I tried to add anything from anywhere it just stays blank and doesn't work. Every time I close the program I get another Error "Access violation at address 0000000000F49B44 in module ;Aren.exe'. Read of Address 0000000000000000" Yes, I counted lol.
The screwy part is, even after a reboot, a reinstall, and a reboot and a reinstall, no matter what I always get the starting and ending error and nothing in Aren works. I'm assuming there's something in the registry but man did I break this thing lol. Anyone have any ideas for how to remove and fix and try again with smaller folder chunks? |

Hi!
I got a bunch of video files I would like to rename. location1_1564934192_4653268742467874325.mp4 The first part is a name that changes and then between the _ the unix time stamp and the last part is a hash I think. I would like to rename them to YYMMDD??.mp4 where ?? is 01 andthen 02 and so on if there are more than one with the same date. I guess this can be done with a script? And that's out of my domains, I'm glad I've managed to figure out some basic regex ;) Anyone able to help? |

Hi all! I have an image sequence that goes as follows:
seq_shot010.0000.exr seq_shot010.0001.exr seq_shot010.0002.exr etc, etc. I would like to shift this sequence to start on frame 7 instead of frame 0. I can do that with the "renumber" method, but i get a warning on most of the files saying that there could be multiple files with the same name. I get that from a logic standpoint (if frame 0 is being renamed to frame 7 and it already exists, etc), but is there a way to tell the app to start at the end of the naming process, so if the final frame is frame 100, rename that to 107 and then work backwards through the list to avoid collisions? I've hacked my way around it be inserting a new character into the filename, and then running a sep renaming script to remove that character, but that seems clunky. |

I'm trying to change some folder names, how can I achieve this? Thanks! Please note that the job position after the name can vary. Sometimes with many words so it should ignore anything after the "-username".

Hi !
Exemple: A file called Bleach - S17E14.mp4 with a resolution of 1080p. I want to rename it to Bleach - S17E14-1080.mp4 It's possible ? Because all my medias are in 1080p but another in 480p (old animes like One Piece)... It's for Plex Media Server, I guess it's better to specify the resolution even if it's not a requirement... Thank you ! |

Hi,
Fairly new user here. Been playing with Advanced Renamer for a few days now. And I find myself wanting a tag that doesn't seem to exist. I am a comic collector, and I try to keep a consistent naming pattern for the image files for each comic, where each chapter is stored in its own subfolder below a parent folder (comic title). It consists of an alphanumeric abbreviation for the comic's name, followed by a number indicating the chapter, followed by a number sequence for the individual files. I normally do this using the following pattern: ABBR##-<Inc Nr:0001> where '##' indicates chapter number. Currently I find myself having to do this on a folder-by-folder basis, manually editing the '##' bit. But what I would like is to just drop all chapter folders onto the program and do all chapters in one go. So what I am looking for /wanting, is an option something like <Inc DirNr:01> but which works the opposite of <Inc NrDir:01>. i.e. where <Inc NrDir> resets to the starting number when the folder changes, I am looking for/wanting something that only increments to the next seq.nr when the folder changes. Now, it could be this is already possible, but that I just don't have discovered yet howto. If so, please educate me. |

I'm looking to use a text list to move or copy files from one path to many based on information in a CSV. The <csv> tag and the import list/data functions all seem to get me almost there, but cannot seem to get the destination path to stick.
For example, I'd like to move/copy the files from column 1 to the locations in column 2, appending a suffix or otherwise adjusting the name during the process. Column 1 Y:\Complete\A-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\B-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\C-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\D-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\E-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\F-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\G-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\H-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\I-Document.pdf Y:\Complete\J-Document.pdf Column 2 X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product A\Document\Output\A-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product B\Document\Output\B-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product C\Document\Output\C-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product D\Document\Output\D-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product E\Document\Output\E-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product F\Document\Output\F-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product G\Document\Output\G-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product H\Document\Output\H-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product I\Document\Output\I-Document_20230731.pdf X:\Directory1\Directory2\Products\Product J\Document\Output\J-Document_20230731.pdf |

The naming convention I use for my photo gallery is:
[<keyword>].<tags> I have multiple files that have the same keyword as well as tags and I'd like to number those in order too keep them unique so I'd like to automate that to look like: [<keyword>]-<incr#>.<tags> The problem I've run into is that I cant seem to find a way to to get the incrementing number tag to reset with new kewords. I'm sure there's a way to maybe script this, but I'm not the most savvy in that regard. Any insight would be appreciated. If all else fails I could just assign a random number identifier. but I'd like to avoid that if possible. |

When doing a CSV import is there a way to export as txt/CSV just the ones labelled "Cannot find source file". Alternatively do a full export of the list so it can be filtered in a spreadsheet?
I can do a screendump but that gives me a 70-page PDF to trawl through. I've tried to OCR that to get the data but that doesn't work well enough for me to work with it. |

Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I have a question regarding batch renaming using Advanced Renamer, and I was hoping someone here could provide some guidance. Here's what I'm trying to achieve: I have a folder with a variable number of files. Let's call the total number of files "n." I want to rename these files in a decreasing sequence, starting from "n," and decrementing by 2 for each subsequent file until reaching 2. For example, if there are 200 files, I want them to be renamed as follows: 200, 198, 196, ..., 4, 2. I've been trying to figure out how to set this up in Advanced Renamer, but I'm having some trouble with the pattern syntax. I'm aware that the software provides the <Inc Nr> tag, but I'm unsure how to automatically calculate the total number of files and use it in the pattern. Could anyone kindly guide me on how to set up this renaming sequence using Advanced Renamer? Specifically, how can I create a pattern that starts from the total number of files and decrements by 2 for each file until reaching 2? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance! Best regards, ALi |

Hello,
I just installed Advancer Renamer and used it fine to rename a bunch of files, but when I went to rename the folders it deleted every single file leaving only empty folders behind. I renamed the folders by clicking over to "Rename Folders", manually dragged the main folder into the program, and then selected subfolders as well. I then hit rename to Incrementing Numbers. A series of errors came up when I did that and when I then opened the folder again every file was gone, leaving ONLY the folders behind (with name unchanged). I tried to hit "Undo Last Batch" and it only gives me errors now, saying the files it deleted can't be found. Is there any possible way to restore my deleted files? Please let me know they are absolutely crucial files and I don't have backups!! |

I need to rename folders that have a repeating pattern but removal of that pattern would show up as errors because of exisitng folders with the name of the changed folders to which I just need them to merge with existing folders of the same name.
Any idea on how to do that? |

I have many files with long names, and somewhere in the file is a proper name, Jane,or Tiffany.
ex; IMAGES OF MOON TAKEN BY JANE OVER CITY SKY. LAST DAY OF SPRING, JENNIFER COLD OUTSIDE OCTOBER 2020 WENDY ALL DAY SHOOTING. What i want is file names like JANE, JENNIFER, AND WENDY, AND EVERYTHING ELSE GONE. There are more than 5000 files with over 1500 different proper names. Can this be done? |

I've been modifying some file names using the date / time stamp feature. An odd result followed this "add" command: <Year Modified><Month Modified><Day Modified>_<Hour Modified><Min Modified> The Hour is off by one hour from the file's time stamp... I guess this is a Windows issue, something about how it uses 'universal time' and daylight savings times issues... It's weird, it's potentially a problem but I guess it is something that should be noted... I saw this problem also just looking at the file using the 'properties' tag: the file in Explorer shows, for example, a time of 1:16:44 PM but in the 'properties' box the Created: tag is 12:16:44 PM. Anyone dependent on searching by file time could be stymied! |

Hi,
I thought I'd mention the above as it's been mentioned a few times over the years and seems to be happening in the last two versions still. If you have a list replacement set up, it only shows the list elements the first time you expand/create it. Subsequent expansions are always missing the list elements themselves. Reloading the methods from a file or re-opening the software gets them back but only until you expand them a second time. I suspect the sub-controls are just being disposed of a little too heavily when the main control is un-expanded. Anyway, it's been lovely using the software so far! So much so that I actually got off my butt and paid for it :-) Regards, Keith |

Hi,
...and a quick question (which may have been asked already oops!) :-) Which regex variant does Advanced Renamer use? I've noticed that most of the MSDN documented stuff (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az24scf c%28v=vs.110%29.aspx) works so there's a lot of power available that isn't directly documented. It would be cool to know where to look for a full list. There's some pretty cool hidden features like; word boundaries, punctuation and unicode support, that are making my regex expressions much more useful. :-) Regards, Keith PPS: Some documentation on the Javascript api would be cool to have too. Somedays, regex just ain't enough :-) |

So, I've got a bunch of files I've been having to manually look up the release year for. I've been going in on each file name and adding the year in brackets at the end of the file name, like this:
Artist - Song Title (1967).ext What I want to do is create a filter that will read the year from within the file name and save it to the Year and Date tag - without having to edit each file's tags individually. I'm aware Picard is a thing, but these tracks are files that did not produce results in Picard. Can anybody help me with this? |

Hi,
I have a ton of files that I need to reorder the names of as well as adding a leading zero if it's not there and converting all spaces to underscores. Unfortunately, the filenames are not consistent as far as the number of characters per "section." For example, three files look like this: 1. Ballet Rehearsal-Edgar Degas.tif 5. Two Sisters - On the Terrace-Renoir Pierre-August.tif 33. Shot Marilyns-Andy Warhol.tif What I would need them to be out put as is: 01_Degas_Edgar-Ballet_Rehearsal.tif 05_Renoir_Pierre-August-Two Sisters_On_the_Terrace.tif 33_Warhol_Andy-Shot_Marilyns.tif Thanks! |

I have been needing to rename a ton of files, which I have been able to figure out how, but I did need to use Bulk Rename Utility first, then convert the rest with Advanced Renamer. I would love to do it all in Advanced Renamer in the future if possible.
The step I need help with is adding a leading zero to the filename if there isn't one present. For example: 1. Ballet Rehearsal-Edgar Degas.tif would become: 01. Ballet Rehearsal-Edgar Degas.tif but 33. Shot Marilyns-Andy Warhol.tif should stay as: 33. Shot Marilyns-Andy Warhol.tif In Bulk Rename Utility I was able to do this with the RegEx (1) option using v2: Match: ^(\d)\. (?X)^(\d\d)\.\x20 Replace: 0$1_(?X)$1_ Is this possible to accomplish within Advanced Renamer? Thanks! |

When I rename a folder with the same name I append it. e.g. folder 001, folder 002, folder 003...
However, is there a way the folders, and it's contents, can just merge, into just one folder? |

how i can switch terms similar "(august)(2012)" -> "2012.08"
or words "one two three"... this are simple cases. multiple replace only works if count of charactr is known.. it need a methods can tract terms with unknown amount of characters. like use of seperatorlist to cut a string in terms.. maybe its useful to think about a system use of variables for a micro-code |

Hello, Kim. Thanks for the wonderful program.
I have noticed on several occasions that the method from "New Case" entitled "Set uppercase first letter in every word" never works on any folder or file that I apply it to. I just thought that you should know. It could be very useful otherwise. |

Have Windows 11 64bit. Haven't used Advanced Renamer for a while and saw an upgrade to 3.91 available so I did an uninstall of whatever version I had (didn't check first) and after the install I get the Application Error, Exception EAccessViolation in module ARen.exe at 000000000001243F. .....Read of Address 00000000000000008.
I've successfully used V3.88 (32 and 64 bit) but all higher versions give me the error. I saw some much older postings that this error has occurred but don't see any solutions. |

If I try to use positive lookahead to search for '&', it doesn't seem to work.
(?=&) Yet, If i use 'and', it works fine. (?=and) I am trying to match either '&' OR 'and' in a string. '&' Does not appear to be a control character, so i'm mystified. (this was using https://regex101.com/ and set to PCRE) Does anyone know why this happens? |

when importing long lists using the import from CSV feature when get a "Analyzing file" pop up after setting up the import that will takes minutes to load sometimes and can be canceled without having any effect but this window also often freezes the program when it pops up, is there a way to have the program skip the "Analyzing file" step when importing a list?
Are there any tips you can share to make it less likely to freeze when this pops ups? thank you foir your help. |

As far as I can tell, there's no way to simply paste a directory path when adding files using the directory mode. You have to go dig for the folder every time. Which gets old fast when most of your folders of interest are 10+ levels deep.
If would be nice if we could set the directory path directly just like you can when using the add files window. |

Hello there, I am looking for a regex that can check the content of a filename and remove any duplicates found starting and ending in brackets. For example, FILENAME (SAME) (SAME) (SAME) or FILENAME (SAME) (SAME) should finish as FILENAME (SAME) removing all additional duplicate words in brackets.

Good day,
I’m trying to select the last word of a file and move it to the beginning of a file with the help of the move method. When inserting <Word:1> into move count, checking backwards and make the move to counter as high as possible, nothing happens. How can I make Advanced Renamer determine the last word and make it moving it to the front of the file name? Thanks for your help! Udo |

Have looked for guidance in the documentation, and can't see it...
Would like to have a pattern on the collision rule "New Name" option so end result is ~~<title> <incrementing number> TILDE TILDE title SPACE 001 so for example, two copies of "FreeMovie" will show as ~~Free Movie 001 and ~~Free Movie 002 so that, all potential duplicates will appear at the start of a filename sorted explorer window, for manual weeding (and yes, manual subsequent rename) Any guidance happily accepted |

Buenas tardes.
Quisiera ayuda para saber cómo puedo añadir un 0 (cero) al inicio de un número, pero solo si el texto original tiene x número de caracteres. Esto es usual para número de identificación. Ejemplo: Añadir 0 al inicio si el número tiene menos de 10 caracteres. Original: 123456789 Reemplazo: 0123456789 Original: 12345 Reemplazo 0000012345 Original: 1234567890 --> En este caso, no hace ninguna acción adicional porque el texto ya tiene 10 caracteres. Muchas gracias por la ayuda. |

When adding several folders (<10), I always get an Exif Tool error. If I stick to the 10 folders or add the files (photo files) via Add Files, it works. But if I add a whole year 2023 with about 98 subfolders, I always get an Exif tool error and the renaming 'new name' does not work. Version 3.91...
Thx Arno |

I've read the user guide which said ARen uses PCRE regex

Hi again,
I'm trying to match date string. I use https://regex101.com/ with 'Flavor' set to 'PCRE' to test. I've used Negative lookbehind to NOT match anything containing numbers prior to date. Pattern: .*(?<![0-9])\K(\d{2,2}).(\d{2,2}).(\d{2,2}) Test string: Series61.03.04.21.Anything.at.all This works perfectly in regex101, but matches nothing at all in Advanced Renamer. Does anyone have any ideas? TIA |

Hello,
I´m searching desperatly for a script, to add an individual name ahead of the filename, if this filename begins with a certain number, f.e. 0000-this-is-my-file.pdf >> Peter_0000-this-is-my-file.pdf 1111-just-another.pdf >> Michael_1111-just-another.pdf Each 4-letter-number should be defined to a certain name. Is this possible in Advanced Renamer? I couldn`t find a hint in the forum posts. Thanks in advance! Best regards |

This captured the required input. I'm still learning : |

Need to rename many instagram pics. they're saved with a prename sometimes, i.e:
"giselesuperacao.mae_39_.jpg" → "insta - tiago camilo jiu (tagged @giselesuperacao.mae).jpg" To add "insta", "face", "twitter" at the begining, I've made a pattern list in "New Name" Method, where you can click the "..." button and the Pattern Dialog will appear, but that blocks me from picking parts of the original name, by using <Word:1> (indexed word of the filename), in "Add" method. Is there a way to create this pattern list in "Add" method? this method would work for my entire list of students, in the case of renaming all of their homework, tests ect, by adding their names ... Thanks in advance. |

Please, can we get a dark mode? My eyes would love you. I see this has been requested for years. As far back as 2019, it said it was coming. Very much appreciated.

Hi, im back from thread called "help about changing day and hour of thousand of files" https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=13251
I post here because i cant reply anymore on that old thread. That is the original script you posted: deltaHour = 3; match = item.name.match(/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2})\.(\d{2})\.(\d{2})(.*)/); if (match) { Y = 1*match[1]; M = 1*match[2] - 1; D = 1*match[3]; h = 1*match[4]; m = 1*match[5]; s = 1*match[6]; h += deltaHour; date = new Date(Y, M, D, h, m, s); Y = date.getFullYear(); M = date.getMonth() + 1; D = date.getDate(); h = date.getHours(); m = date.getMinutes(); s = date.getSeconds(); return Y + "-" + ("0" + M).slice(-2)+ "-" + ("0" + D).slice(-2) + " " + ("0" + h).slice(-2) + "." + ("0" + m).slice(-2) + "." + ("0" + s).slice(-2) + match[7]; } I need the script changed to affect the filename in a specific way now, instead of adding 3 hours i need it to substract a second. 2023-01-01 00.00.00 xxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg -> 2022-12-31 23.59.59 xxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg |

Hi guys, I have a script below that I think should work, but I'm getting uncaught post script errors 'unterminated character class' and I don't know what's wrong.
Here's the script: function (index, item) { var regex = new RegExp("^.*\\([^\\]+)\\[^\\]+$", "gi"); var matches = regex.match(item.path); return matches[1]+ '_' + item.filename; } basically the script tries to grab the parent folder name of the file and prefix the filename. Help is very much appreciated, thank you :). |

Hi there, I have file names like this:
AJPW - 12-02-1977 - Giant Baba-Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Abdullah The Butcher-The Sheik (RWTL).mp4 This part of the filename will always be consistent: AJPW - 12-02-1977 - (including the space after the last -) I would like to replace any - character the occurs after the 4th instance of it with an " & " character. I.E. anything after "1977 - Giant" I want to replace any instances that occur of the - character with " & ". Any regex or anything else that can accomplish this? Thanks in advance! |

I have file names that end with the following pattern:
<string1> - <string2> - <string3> press I wanted to remove the " - <string3> press" part at the end. I tried to use the "Remove Pattern" rule, and specified the following string: - *press In normal mode, the file names are not affected at all. In RegEx mode, AR ends up removing " - <string2> - <string3> press" because of greedy matching. How do I force the RegEx engine to match in lazy mode? I tried adding a ? to force lazy mode, like this: - *?press But it did not change the result. Please help! |

My file names have this format:
<Title> - <subtitle> Where both <title> and <subtitle> have multiple words, and there may be hyphens in them. The separator between the title and subtitle is a hyphen with spaces on both sides. But all other hyphens will not have spaces on both sides. (These are regular English words or expressions, such as "non-stop", "step-by-step", etc.) I want to first force lowercase for the entire name, and then make upper case for the first letters of the Title and Subtitle. All the hyphens that do not have spaces on each side should be ignored. How do I achieve this? |

Hello again,
I am finding this program very useful. Thankyou! Just a comment to say that I think the toolbar section above the file layout is too big, it takes up too much space, space I could be using to see more files. I preferred the layout in 3.85. I don't know if personal customization is possible, but I would personally prefer more space available to fit a larger number of files into the file window. Also, is it possible, in the 'PRESETS' window, to always make the presets 'list' in the same way, IE alphabetically, or in some other pre-determined order, as every time I want to select a new PRESET, the list appears to be 'jumbled up', and I have to hunt though the nummerous ones I have cobbled together :) Also, regarding the PRESET drop-down, would it be possible to, whilst hovering mouse over that area, automatically scroll though the different presets, applying them to the file list in real time (perhaps using scroll wheel of mouse?). Alternatively bind to a key(s) ? And finally, regarding payment, do you accept Amazon vouchers? As I would like to contribute the equivalent payment, but am not comfortable with the listed payment provider. Thankyou for reading. |

I team,
I'm trying to rename files using a numbering gotten from file name. i.e. my files are: SPPayslip 1_2021_Run1; SPPayslip 1_2021_Run2; ... SPPayslip 10_2021_Run1; SPPayslip 10_2021_Run2;... I want to rename using: "Personal" <word:3><word:2> <word:4> - but since <Word:2> is a month number, I want to change it to "01", "02"... "10"... (like in the tag <Inc Nr:x:y>). Is there any way to change the word to number so to force a certain number of zeros? The end names should be: Personal 202101 Run1; Personal 202101 Run2;... Second. Is there "if" in order to replace: if "Run1" to "15"; if "Run2" to "30" (in the word:4) - in a unique step instead use 2 additional methods? i.e. if <word:4>="Run1" change to "15" \ if <word:4>="Run2" change to "30" - in replace method. Note: could provide also a script? |

Hi team,
My files have the following format in the name: DMMYYYY (D - day, M - month, Y - year). i.e: 13022023. I must change to the format YYYYMMDD. Is there any way to solve this? Is it possible to convert <word:1> to <Time:yyyymmdd>? If so, how? Or how can I use regular expression? |

Before the latest update you chose to add content and it would give you the option on that window to choose if you were adding files or folders.
Now it still gives you that option but it does not work that well. I will choose to add files go through choosing the files hit accept and the list will not propagate. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, end up spending 10 minutes doing something that before took just a couple of minutes to do. I'm all up for updates but when an update just makes the user work more for the same thing that took less work then it's just a burden. |

The trim option is giving me problems, I will load files and before the trim feature would work automatically, now I have to delete the trim option and add it again to fix the name of the folder and get rid of the gaps in the name and such.

I want to use "New Name" batch method to rename my video files in accordance with video date and time tag. But when I do that, new filenames are set to change in GMT time, not local time.
For example, let's say I have a video file called "1.mp4", that is recorded at 11:00:00 AM (GMT+9) on September 1st , 2023 I want to rename this "1.mp4" file using following video tags: VID_<Video Date Year><Video Date Month><Video Date Day>_<Video Date Hour><Video Date Min><Video Date Sec>. "1.mp4" file should be named as "VID_20230901_110000.mp4" (GMT+9, my local time). However, the new filename I actually get is "VID_20230901_020000.mp4" (GMT). I am currently using the latest version of the Adanced Renamer, v3.92 on Windows 10 (22H2). And I am not sure, but I remember that the same error IS NOT occurring on Windows 11 (22H2). So this may be an isolated issue on Windows 10. Can anyone confirm if this is an isolated case that just happens to me? Or is it actually a bug? Oh. BTW, the image tags are working perfectly fine tho. |

Hi!
I have a folder with image files named with the supplier's part numbers, which I want to rename to my own part numbers.

Can someone help me please? Thank you very much in advance! //Daniel |

Hello,
I just gave this tool a try and am impressed by it´s functionality and easy handling! The most of the job is already done, but now I need to merge the name of the image together with article number - like this request https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=13535 So far so good, but it seems, that the app.parseTags command doesn´t like large CSV files. My file has two columns and around 170000 lines (5,5 MB). When I only use 500 entries it works. When I take the full file it just does nothing. Is there any limit I can adjust? As a Workaround: Can I connect to a SQL table connected by ODBC? Thanks, Florian |

Hello, new to the forum and after having looked at all the posts that seemed to speak to my need, I either 1) am too stupid to understand what I have read or 2) it relates to RegEx and i am trying to use the present methods and so the responses don't apply.
I am trying to remove the first portion of a bunch of file names from example input: Time Odessey 2 Sunstorm, A - Arthur C. Clarke & Stephen Baxter output: Sunstorm, A - Arthur C. Clarke & Stephen Baxter Maybe going a step further I would actually like to remove the comma and put the "A" back in front of Sunstorm for A Sunstorm - Arthur C. Clarke & Stephen Baxter I simply want to erase any thing after the last number in the file name plus the additional space that comes after it. Sometimes the number is multiple digits like 09 or 29. I know it's probably simple but would love to know how to do this. Also if there is a single repository somewhere on the site that has all the expressions that I can use with examples, that would be helpful for me to figure this out in the future myself. I would surmise that some people are going to say "open your eyes...it's right there" But i have been looking for the answers for 2 hours now with no luck. Thanks everyone! |

Hi, not all my photos have Date Taken but most do. I checked the exif data and confirm these photos don't have Date Taken. That means under Date Taken column, there will be blank cells where there is no data.
I tried to sort the Date Taken column by clicking the header as well as using right click>Sort by>Column>Date Taken. Unfortunately while these methods do sort to some extent but not all. I also tried to mark the check boxes as well but same result. The reason I wanted to sort is so that I can uncheck the tick box so these files will not be renamed. I have tried to manually locate and uncheck these photos but I have thousands of photos to rename. Would appreciate if someone could point out what I did wrong. Thanks |

Hello,
I am new to Advanced Renamer and hoping the experts here can help. I have a bunch of folders in the following format: Actor1,Actor2,Actor3 Movie Title Where Actor is the first and last name. The number of letters for the actors names can vary of course as can the number of actors (but usually only 2 or 3 actors). The result I am looking for would be a folder name with just the movie title alone. There is no comma between the last actor and the movie title. No spaces between commas either. An example would be a folder named: Bruce Willis,Alan Rickman,Bonnie Bedelia Die Hard Result I am looking for is a folder simply named Die Hard I've actually managed to create 2 replace rules with a remove rule that seem to work, but I am sure it can be done more elegantly. Any help would be appreciated! |

Can someone provide a model of the available properties on the item parameter that gets passed into the script. I know I can type 'item.' and get a list of the properties, but I was wondering if this is documented anywhere since I don't see it in the UserGuide.
I'm also wondering what JS engine is being used to run the scripts and what version of JS is supported, I noticed some things I have tried in the past didn't work. Unfortunately it has been a while so I can't remember specifics on what didn't work. Is there something I can do in the script to get the NewFileName column to be blank for files that don't meet certain criteria without an error, so I can easily see the files that will/won't get changed? I have tried just 'return;', 'return null;', and not returning anything. |

Hi - I am hoping someone can help me to change the date format when using <ExifTool:CreateDate> for my movie files.
<ExifTool:CreateDate> gives the following date format: yyyy_mm_dd hh_mm_ss (e.g., 2023_09_21 17_06_53). I instead want the date to have the format: mmm dd yyyy (e.g., Sep 21 2023) with no timestamp. Is there a way to do this? Thank you all so much for your help! |

So I have files with a name containing a unix timecode and I've made the script in #2 @ https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=11608?forum_id=11608 work with some altering to fit my format needs but only after I've first processed all the files with a replace regex to remove everything except the timecode in the name.
I would like to be able to do this in one go instead of two but if If I add that replace regex before the script it doesn't work. Haven't found much info about this pre batch script function but I guess it's what I have to use for this to work. So how do I add a replace regex there? |

I want to change the name of many different images in different folders. The new name will be "project" and it will be the same for all the images. But I don't want o replace the original image. Instead I want to create an image in the same folder with a name "project". This has to be done for about 200 folders. Can I do that?

It would be nice if by selecting the Apply to name it would hide or keep the extension out of the pattern box and vice versa with the Extension option.

Hi !
Thanks for your powerfull soft and have a super 2024 year ! I was using this soft since months and pay it to thanks for the great work. I would like to be able to sort the file list by "New Filename", in order to have the final filename list ordered (the list should be updated each time a batch change because the target filename would change). Thanks again ! |

Hi
I would like you to make the theme dark. Just to make it easier to read. I spend up to 3-4 hrs using your software in a day. So, in your next up date would you please add a dark theme to it. Would anyone else like this ? Thank you Sorry I find it in setting. But the dark theme is not that good for me. Maybe have a look at Firefox dark theme. Thank you |

Hello and Happy new year !
AdvancedRenamer is one of my fav software I have used it regularly for several years now. I was glad to see there was an update recently, v3.92 including dark mode I only find that there is a problem with the sorting arrow icons which do not contrast enough in dark mode : https://i.vgy.me/80eABC.png IMO one right color would be a kind of light blue like these ones : https://i.vgy.me/mGwzGa.png Thank you |

Where can I download an older version. I don't like the lack of toolbar and import TV data is not available in 3.92.
Just read that TV series import has been removed. So long, and thanks for all the fish. That's the end of my support for AR. |

Hello, and here's wishing you all a great and healthy 2024.
In later versions of AREN timestamp method, I am unable to change the creation date of a folder using date data in THAT SAME folder. I'm pretty sure that in earlier versions (I'm talking years ago) I was able to do that. I used to be able to do this (I think): On a folder named "Some_Information_&_Stuff_20200828_More_Stuff" I would use the timestamp method with "Filename Pattern" and the pattern set to "<Year><Month><Day>". The creation date would become "08/28/2020". Am I crazy? I'm pretty old, so I could be misremembering. But I don't think so. Is there something I'm missing here? Using the latest versions, including 3.92, I can rename files all day but not folders. Any chance there's a script out there to do that? Or an older version that works on Win 11? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Best, Daniel |

Hi! Two questions for the community:
Is there a good online guide for regex that specifically works with AR? I can find regex code examples, but they never seem to work properly inside of AR? A regex for dummies 101? Secondly, on to the more specific question: I have this string my_file_name_0000.png I want to replace all the underscores with hyphens except the last one: my-file-name_0000.png Any tips on how to pull that off with a replace function and checking 'use regular expressions'? (note: diff files will have diff numbers of underscores in diff locations, so nothing consistent) |

Is there a script to use timestamp with just the files creation time and nothing else,
and allow all files to load based on that timestamp. image.001 timestamp = 1:02:09 image.758 timestamp = 1:05:23 image.102 timestamp = 2:59:59 image.047 timestamp =3:00:00 and so it just continues for any number of loaded files |

I have about 400 tv shows, many with identical name except for the date.
How do I add serial? numbers to distinguish duplicate names so I can then delete the date. I tried numerous times using "ADD" and also "RENAME" but each attempt fails. Example of what I am trying to say: 20210720 2127 - NITV - Celtics _ Lakers_ Best Of Enemies 20210713 2137 - NITV - Celtics _ Lakers_ Best Of Enemies Thanks |

Hi,
this is the first Software, that does not install the x64 Version on my System - e.g. even Corel Draw x64 installs and runs fine. Just bought it and wanted to run on my new Laptop. Might be a simple solution to change the way the program checks the system on installation? WoA 11 emulates x64 nearly perfect. greetings |

Advanced Renamer saves me a lot of time and busywork, and I am happy I found your product.
I installed v. 3.92 a couple of days ago, upgrading from v. 3.88.1, and want to share my thoughts about a couple of changes found in the new release's user interface. 1. The blue outline of the checkboxes in the Renaming Method List make the small checkmark difficult to see. If the box was larger, the checkmark was darker and bigger, or the outline was removed or lightened, I could see at a glance which methods are active. The previous release did not have this issue. 2. The Renaming Method List still cannot be scrolled via a trackball wheel or other mouse scrolling control. The scroll bar is the only way to control the list with a mouse. Scrolling via mouse or trackball wheel would be a major usability enhancement for me. 3. I seem to recall there being gridlines or row shading in the "Rename files" field in the previous release. Can we have those back, please? Thanks for considering these points. |

I have a lot of folders that are structured in this heirarchy:
Summer 2023 July/Shark Reef/Sheltered/Slope/T1/photos I am interested in Within each season (first folder) there are multiple areas (second folder) and within each area are two folders (Sheltered and Exposed) which have a further two folders inside them (Slope or Crest) which have three folders (T1, T2, T3) that have photos I am interested in. I have other photos within various of these subfolders, but I am only interested in renaming the files inside the T1, T2, T3 folders. Within each folder, I want to add sequential numbers in front of the original file name. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? I was told that I can set filters so Advanced Renamer only looks to change the files in T1, T2, T3 folders within that heirarchy, but I'm not sure how to set it so the numbers are sequential in each folder (typically, this will be 01-50 for each T1, T2, T3 folder). I could do this manually, but this will take a very long time to do. Any suggestions or tips anyone has would be very much appreciated and helpful! :) Kind wishes, Matt |

PROBLEM: TV Import has been removed from product
EXPECTION: Features are not removed from paid products FEATURE REQUEST: Please restore this standout feature for Advanced Renamer. It was a significant reason I paid for a license for this tool, and without it the tool has no real value to me. Looking in the forum, for the product I see this was done months ago, but the release notes make no mention of the feature having gone away that I can find. There do appear to be a number of updates in the most current version but they are not meaningful for my usage of this tool |

I think I found a bug with the substr tag function
When using the move batch mode on directories, I was trying to generate parent directories using the substr function. (i.e D:\test\<substr:7:' - '>\) I noticed however, that this was only working on directories with two or more periods (.) in the directory name. Directories without periods were just ignored by the function. Is anyone else able to replicate this to confirm that I'm not just doing something dumb. *edit it's not the two periods that are causing it to work, I'm still trying to work out why some substr correctly works for some directory names but not others |

The column was there. I was trying to debug a script. At some point the column disappeared leaving me with only Filename, Error and Path. I right-clicked the menu and was able to add and remove other columns. It shows "New Filename" as selected but unchecking and rechecking it does nothing. I am running version 3.92.

I have a script that someone helpfully provided to adjust the time of photos by 5 hours. It was working in an older version of the program. Now that I have updated to the newest version (3.92p) I am having issues with the script.
The files that I am working with have the following format: YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss.######.jpg Here is the script I am working with: match = item.name.match(/^(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})_(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})$/); if (match[0]) { epoch = Date.parse(match[1] + 'T' + match[2]+ ':' + match[3] + ':' + match[4]); date = new Date(epoch - 5 * 3600000); return date.getUTCFullYear() + "-" + ("0" + (date.getUTCMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "-" + ("0" + date.getUTCDate()).slice(-2) + "_" + ("0" + date.getUTCHours()).slice(-2) + "-" + ("0" + date.getUTCMinutes()).slice(-2) + "-" + ("0" + date.getUTCSeconds()).slice(-2); } Please let me know how to update. Thanks! |

Hi, I am trying to replace the created date and time of files with the filename timestamp pattern <Year><Month><Day><Hour><Min><Sec>. The names of the files all begin with dates in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. The same exact task on the same version used to work fine, but now the timestamp gets retrieved incorrectly (I have updated to 3.92).
For example, a filename that begins with 20110917000000 gets the error "Invalid timestamp: '201-1-0 9:1:7.647' is not a valid date and time". Thanks for any help |

Is this the right place to discuss Beta features?
I noticed a small bug: I use a list with several Methods. In this list I Have 3 Methods withs "multiple replace". I can't write it one Multiple method, because it has work not in series directly. Now the bug. when I change something in "multiple replace method 1", and open after changing one of the other "multiple replace methods", I can't see an input. I have to close Advanced renamer and open e.g. "multiple replace 2" and I can change things. Using the the three functions in The list makes no problems. Only changing without restart. It's really a minor problem. |

For example, there are many files, I want to rename a subset of these files that matches a certain regex.
It's hard to select the subset of files manually and drag them into Advanced Renamer, but it is easy to do with regex in Advanced Renamer. Now, with the Replace method, using regex, I see that some files are grayed out because they didn't match the regex. I think they will not be renamed. However, when I use increment numbering, those grayed-out files are also counted. How can I make it only count the files that will be renamed? Alternatively, how can I easily remove those files that won't be renamed, without selecting them manually? |

I hope I explain clearly, I have a book collection set up like this
Author/ Author/Title(files) Author/NameOfSeries/01 Title(files) Author/NameOfSeries/02 Title(files) I want to add ' Series' to some, not all, 2nd level folders to get Author/ Author/Title(files) Author/NameOfSeries Series/01 Title(files) Author/NameOfSeries Series/02 Title(files) So I want to bulk rename only the 2nd level folders that contain sub folders, and not rename the 2nd level folders that contain files (and have no sub folders). Does Advanced Renamer recognise content, if there are only files or if there are only sub folders? I can try to explain further if this doesn't make sense. Thank you. |

Hello,
since I have a stack of series on my HDD, I decided to keep them labeled like : <series name> S01E01 <episode name> Now I noticed that quite a lot of files have been saved under the form s01e01. How do I get the s and the e upper case? Thanks |

Hi,
with recent AR versions the files (or folder, I'm not sure) are locked after batch renaming. They disappear from the list after they're renamed but stay locked by AR, so for them to move to a different location I need to close AR. Can it be done like in older versions that I can manipulate with the files without closing AR? Thanks |

I'd like to have a tag that's similar to <Video Height>, but has 'i' (for interlaced) and 'p' (for progressive) appended. This would be helpful to indicate if the video was encoded as 1080p or 1080i, for example.

I'd like to be able to include the numbe/arrangement of audio channels in a video file, in the same vein as the <Video Audio Codec> tag. I'm thinking in the common syle of: 2.0, 5.1, 7.1, etc.
If I'm sorting through recordings I've made with my DVR, I usually prefer to keep a copy that's 720p with 5.1 audio over one that's 1080i with 2.0 audio. Thus it's valuable to me to be able to include that information in the filename, as I'm sorting through duplicates. |

I have nothing against Javascript/Spidermonkey; but personally, I have found Lua to be a better solution for embedding scripts within my applications. Probably not a surprise, as that's exactly the use it was designed for.
In the same 'minimal footprint' vein, MicroPython is worth considering instead, if you consider Lua to be a niche language. Just another software developer's two cents :) |

Hi,
Could the program use a more modern file picker in the next update? The windows explorer in Windows 10 and 11 you could copy and paste the path on the Navigation Pane, makes reaching the file much easier. Also, it seems that we can't drag and drop files to the files window. Or can we? Thank you Henry |

Very good to everyone,
I hope you can help me. When I travel in a country with a different time zone, my mobile phone gives me incorrect metadata regarding the time the videos were made. The only place where it puts the correct time is in the file name itself. An example would be the following: VID20231001100715 What I want is to convert it to this format: 2023-10-01 - 10.07.15 I have tried, but I have not been able to find the correct formula to replace said name and convert it with the desire. Help me please :') |

Hi wondering if anybody has this issue?
I'm doing some batch renaming where I'm adding a prefix to a bunch of files. Depending on words in the name. I've been able to write a script for the prefixes, but the new file names no longer have their file extensions. Its weird but the Apply to (name/Extension/name&Extension) seems to have no effect on it. I would like to just keep the original file extension, since its several different types of files. This is the script i've been using (Made with lots of trail and error and help from chatgpt). ---- // Define target words and corresponding indicators as key-value pairs var targetIndicators = { "Noise": "A2", "water": "A3" }; // Iterate over each target word and corresponding indicator Object.keys(targetIndicators).forEach(function(targetWord) { // Check if the filename contains the target word if (item.name.indexOf(targetWord) !== -1) { // If the word is found, add the corresponding indicator to the beginning of the filename item.newName = targetIndicators[targetWord] + "_" + item.name; } }); |

Two minor problems:
Since version 3.89p I can no longer move the columns with the mouse. The function seems to be active, but the columns jump back to the starting point afterwards. But it works with "Customize". However, at least with version 3.93-3p, the existing columns are not ticked there and are not sorted. From version 3.92p version, the "BatchMethods" folder with the four *.aren files is missing in the program directory. Is this intentional or are these bugs? |

I'm setting up an SD card with a ton of games and music files to be used on my 'new' Commodore 64 computer. I've downloaded a couple game and music archives, so the total file count on the SD card is around 80,000.
One of the quirks of the Commodore 64 is that it cannot elegantly display uppercase characters in filenames - they get incorrectly displayed as "PETSCII" characters, which makes browsing the files on the card quite challenging. The "easy" solution is to only have lower-case filenames, but with nearly 80,000 files, that becomes slightly more challenging. I fired up Advanced Renamer (fully paid/registered, fully up to date) and started selecting batches of subfolders to keep under the 25,000 file limit. I have the Batch Method set to New Case > Set Lower Case, and when I review the Filename vs. New Filename columns, everything looks correct. However, when I hit Start Batch, it seems to go through all the motions, but only some content actually gets renamed - some folders, a few random files within, but it's mostly not working. There are no reported errors. It occurred to me that the amount of time it's taking to "complete" the batch seems suspiciously fast, given how long it takes to read or write tens of thousands of files on an SD card. I made a full copy and paste of the SD card contents into a subfolder on a very fast internal SSD and tried applying my changes there, and got a better (but still not correct) result - many subfolders and files are now lowercase, but not all of them. Any tips on what I'm doing wrong here would be appreciated! |

Hi,
How can I only import files that are in a subfolder with the same name? I have a main folder X. There are several folders in this folder, for example A, B, C etc. In each of these folders is a subfolder xyz. This folder is always called xyz. X\Test\Test1\xyz X\Test\Test2\xyz X\Test\Test3\xyz With the import method "Add the files in the folders" I can only specify a filemask. How can I now ensure that only the files in the subfolder xyz are imported? |

It seems after running a rename method on a folder full of files that the
Filename stored in <ExifTool:Filename> is updated to the new Filename that the file was just assigned. I would like try and have the file keep only its original Filename. If I can accomplish this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, |

Hello
I change the date format in sone downloaded files from Namely d- UT-1-2-2024.mp3 UT-10-12-2024.mp3 to UT-2024-02-01.mp3 UT-2024-12-10.mp3 I can do this via two renumber methods and then a replace. As a matter of interest, is it possible to do this with one replace only (\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4}) \3-\2-\1 were the replacements are formatted (eg. \3:'00' ) Regards BobK |

Thanks for working with your users. It is nice to see!
Old: Something that catches me out every time I use Advanced Renamer is the fact that the mouse wheel is not active in the Renaming method list. It is active on the Files and Folders lists. It would be nice to have on the Renaming method list. Thanks for a great piece of software! |

In the new layout, the Test button is missing. It used to be when I unchecked Auto test I could manually trigger a test with a click.
I have huge sets of files I work on and it would be very nice to be able to manually trigger when working on Renaming methods instead of having the program lock up for a while with each change. Thank you! |

I need to rename a few hundred files based on the names of other files, and I'm not sure if AR does this... I have properly named video files for which I need to create like named subtitle files. For example... I have video files named:
Dr Wham - s01e01 - Wheel Down.mkv Dr Wham - s01e02 - Wheel Off.mkv etc. My subtitle files are now named S1E1.srt S1E2.srt etc. I need to rename the subtitle file to S1E1.srt > Dr Wham - s01e01 - Wheel Down.srt S1E2.srt > Dr Wham - s01e02 - Wheel Off.srt etc. What is perplexing me is the episode names. Any suggestions? Thank you! |

Hi Kim,
Great job on v3.94p, it solves some long-standing problems I had with earlier versions (with caveats following). I just want you to know that everything I say here comes from a place of utmost respect for you and love for AREN. :) See below list for configuration. 1. Using the method list button bar at the top of the list, when I click on the "Add Method" button it either 1. does nothing, or 2. causes the whole program window to close. No error message, it just either sits there and does nothing or disappears and shuts down. Cursory testing makes me think that until I add methods to the bare program it does nothing. Once methods are added the program shuts down; further, it shuts down even after all methods are cleared. There may be some interaction with the "Save settings" option as well. 2. When I first open the window, everything looks perfect. The space above the status bar is totally minimized and (with super compact menu) the vast majority of the window is devoted to what I want, namely the method and files lists. After performing some (various) manipulations, the "Last Result" panel appears, which makes about half of the window in the size I normally use it just blank space. Any chance you could make a Settings option to not show that panel? The info could possibly be shown on the status bar, or as a menu item(?). Otherwise all that space that could be devoted to method and files lists just goes to waste in this configuration. 3. Improvements to the dark mode look FANTASTIC! I'm not sure if they were improved in 3.92-3.93, as I haven't been using it since I tried it in the first iteration. CONFIGURATION: PORTABLE version, with these settings changes from default: PROGRAM tab: "Add method button bar", "FileInfo Box" & "Show help getting started" OFF Menu option: "super compact" ENVIRONMENT tab: "Explorer context menu" & "Associate .aren files..." ON "Save settings" option: "same folder as aren.exe" RENAMING tab: "Use zero padding..." is checked IMAGE FILES tab: "Don't analyze image metadata" checked MUSIC & VIDEO tab: "Don't analyze music metadata" checked (I'm pretty sure that's everything) Everything below applies to that configuration.) Thanks, Kim, for such a great program, and for steadily improving it. You're the best, bud! Best regards, DF |

Hi.
I have a directory named: AP_001_african-wild-animals-set In that directory I have 2 files named: Asset [email protected] Asset 4.svg I want the first 7 characters of the directory name appended to the beginning of each file name. I can already clean up the file name (take away the 'Asset' and '@10x') and add the full directory name, but I can't add PART of the directory name. I don't want to add the full directory name as the file name becomes unwieldy, and in some cases, unuseable. I also need to keep the number after 'Asset', so that the pairs of pngs and svgs stay the same (I can't just crop the directory name and have Advanced Renamer add a counter) I have multiple pairs of png/svg files in each directory across many directories. Unfortunately these directories have greatly varying names after the first 7 characters. For example, another directory is: AP_008_Collection-hand-drawn-dog-eight-different-postures I've seen various people ask similar questions, but none of the solutions work when the directories are different lengths. Any ideas? Thanks in advance :-) Bryonie |

Hello,
I have a name file: 1x01 name of the file.mp4 I have added the filter to make only the first character uppercase (to have 1x01 Name of the file.mp4) but it does not work, I think because of the 1x01. Is it possible to set to uppercase only the first character after the 5th? Thanks |

Hello
I have random files and I'd like to rename the filenames to preserve 5 characters from the end of the name, but all files have different lenghts. How would I go about scripting this in advanced renamer? alexconsani_1703461883_3265197398812440395_424427677 HvLPHTo noVUg93 vavallogic_1709370658_3314763793966458118_57376711638 The result would be: 27677 LPHTo VUg93 711638 Tried the regular expression: (.*)([^\.]+)\.(.*) then replace with \2 but gave nothing good.

I have a bunch of folders named like this;
client john tech support_April-01-2022_23-47-24 hr susie in house_January-26-2022_00-47-20 the name at the beginning before the date can be varying in length so that needs to be taken into consideration. client john tech support_April-01-2022_23-47-24 hr susie in house_January-26-2022_00-47-20 I want the name of the months, converted to their number in the calendar and for the format to change from MM-DD-YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD So this; client john tech support_April-01-2022_23-47-24 hr susie in house_January-26-2022_00-47-20 should be this; client john tech support_2022-04-01_23-47-24 hr susie in house_January_2022-01-26_00-47-20 time stamps should remain as is just the date needs to change from the month being described as a word to being given a number and the sort order changed. Thanks for any help! |

Good Evening Everyone,
My issue is that I have started with 49 PDFS, each file contains 2 pages (front/back). The only way I could think of to tackle this problem was to combine all of the PDFs and then re-export them in sequential order. So I have 98 individual pdfs, I need to order them in 1A, 1B, 2A , 2B, etc. I have used java to do odds/evens but that leaves me with a group of files that are 1A, 1B, 3A, 3B, 5A, etc. Anyone have any pointers? Sorry If I'm missing something obvious, I've just been grinding my brain on this problem. For reference, the software I am using requires a spreadsheet that matches 2 files, one for the front and one for the back. So I need 01_front.pdf, 01_back.pdf, and 01_list.xlsx, to all have the same naming structure. Thanks, |

When duplicating a method, the List Replace function duplicates without its contents. I don't know if this is intentional or a bug. Other method duplications seem to keep their contents.
It would be useful when duplicating the List Replace method for it to also duplicate all it's contents (the list of replaces). I have a need for this as I would like two alternate versions of the same List Replace, one where I replace with a hyphen at the end of the replacements and one where I do not. Regards. |

Hi I saw someone wrote a script and was wondering how to implement. I am using Advanced Renamer and some files do not have a FileCreateDate (which seems to be the most accurate date for date the picture was taken) It seems the next date that is the most accurate is FileModifyDate, is there a way to ask it to use FileCreateDate and if FileCreateDate is null then to use FileModifyDate?
or a way to compare all the dates and somehow use the most accurate one? Thanks so much |

On my Win11 system, ARen is able to create txt o csv files, but is unable to open the same files. The following error message appears: No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target
multi-byte code page. https://i.postimg.cc/pLhT2R6P/Screenshot-2024-03 -22-073441.png Notepad and Excel open these files correctly, and the same files saved by Notepad are loaded correctly by Aren. Steps to reproduce: 1) Populate the filename list 2) Save the list as TXT or CSV file 3) Clear the filename list 4) Load the saved file |

Hi,
I am trying to automatically create a folder structure like this one: 01-Jan 02-Feb 03-Mar ... When using tags like month:Xxx I am getting: 03-Mär (whereas I am looking for English names). Reason is maybe aesthetics.... and a little hesitation to use "Umlaute" in a folder structure I am on a "German" computer (Win 11) and on a German tool installation - any idea? Thank you |

Hello,
Fairly green to this, might be a dumb question but how do I keep everything after a specific word number? Trying to rename and format but keep existing file episode names. The file order (DVD, etc) doesn't always match the TV Show import method based on the file source. i.e. existing file name: Show Name S1E1 Pilot.mp4 <Word:1> <Word:2> - S01E<Inc NrDir:1> - <Word:3> to the last word of the file name. Desired result: Show Name - S01E01 - Pilot.mp4 Show Name - S01E02 - Episode 2 Name.mp4 Etc. P.S. version 3.88 |

I am working with a photo machine that takes pictures and then saves those images into a variety of folders. I have a process setup where Advanced File Renamer renames the folders with the images to the first six numbers of the folder name (to match a SKU) but I would also like the ability to create a new subdirectory/folder at the same time, with the name 360. So, this folder:
402150-Spring Step- Womens- Lavona- white Using this expression: <Substr:1:6> Is renamed: 402150 But ... is there a way to not only rename that folder, but create a new subdirectory/folder called 360, so it would have the following directory structure: 402150/360 If not, please consider this a feature request ... THANK YOU! |

Hi, New but very impressed user looking for a way to optimize my workflow on a large project.
I am currently using AR to find all image files by file type on a source HD and batch copying them to a target folder, creating a large source pool of all images. Then, using several steps, I identify images that have metadata for "camera model" and move these files into subfolders named for the "camera model" of the images in the pool before other processing. How difficult would it be to use AR to not only find all image files, but to also create a subfolder in the target folder named for the "metadata:camera model data" and move such files into that folder? Any suggestions that could put me on a path to figure it out would be a huge help. Thanks! |

I'm currently renaming my comic library with lots of numbers and character in filenames, however, they always ending with p01 p02 p03...
Here is my current filenames: 189239427a3cw_p01.jpg, 189239427a3cw_p02.jpg, 189239427a3cw_p03.jpg, 189239563a3dz_p01.jpg, 189239563a3dz_p02.jpg, 189239563a3dz_p03.jpg, 189239563a3dz_p04.png, 190846122b2eb_p01.png, ... (~650 700 more) So my expected filenames should be: 0001_p01.jpg, 0001_p02.jpg, 0001_p03.jpg; 0002_p01.jpg, 0002_p02.jpg, 0002_p03.jpg, 0002_p04.png; 0003_p01.png... Those files are in the same folder. How to do that? Many thanks |

Good morning,
For years, I named photo and other files with the French date format: Day month Year. Example: 01/31/2024 for January 31, 2024 Is it possible to create a method so that the format becomes Year/Month/Day. Example: 2024.01.31 Thanks for your help. |

Hi Kim and everyone,
I've been using the Move/Copy batch modes more lately, and I'm wondering if it's possible to convince you of the idea of changing the working of these modes such that the items in the method list get executed before the files are relocated. Right now I have to execute a batch rename, then either 1) reload the files into another instance of ARen with the Move instructions and execute that; or 2) activate my methods, execute them in rename mode, then reload the files into the same ARen instance, change to move mode, and execute again. Yes, I know I can go into Settings and tell ARen to reload the files automagically, but that's a global setting and most of my renaming doesn't need that. (Another possible change: make the reload files setting local to the .aren file settings?) I know it may not sound like much, but if I run that batch every day (and then I have to run another one to re-rename the files back to the original version), I'm starting to eat up some time; I don't know, but I assume that at least some of your business users also do something similar. I suggest a checkbox near the Batch mode: and Output folder: fields; it could just be as simple as "Execute methods before:". If not checked, current behavior; if checked, method list gets executed before copy/move. A better way, for me would be to have a move/copy method that would allow the execution of the move/copy at any point in a method batch, but that is probably not something you'd want to get into due to the complexity. But that would be ideal, at least for my purposes. Anyway, food for thought? Best regards, DF |

Hello everyone.
There is a large list of files that need to be replaced with a different name. For example: 097845 - name1 IV-nobux - name2 No3bolt - name3 The list is long. Option 1. Use list replace, but it is inconvenient to sort in it and there is no way to avoid a duplicate. Option 2. A file with a list. There is a list.csv file on the computer (located c:\list.csv). I create the file in Excel, where the first column lists the names to be found (097845, IV-nobux, No3bolt), and in the second what to replace them with (name1, name2, name3) and save the file in csv format. Can I write JavaScript so that I take a list of substitutions from list.csv every time ??? Thank you. |

Hello friends,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn off the warning message that I get when I change file extensions via ARen? I usually forget to wait for it to show up, then when I come back to that screen 15 minutes later ARen is just sitting there waiting for me to tell it that it's ok to proceed. YES! It ALWAYS is! Thanks in advance! Best, DF |

Hi,
I would like to use the modified time of creation of the file (photo) in the file name. This is related to the time zone change - now when naming files I would like to correct this. I use tags: <Img Hour><Img Min><Img Sec> and I would like it to be possible to do something like : <Img Hour-3><Img Min><Img Sec> . Obviously this does not work - hence the question what should be the correct syntax, and is it possible at all Rgds Darek |

When adding multiple folders each containing a file named "instructions.txt", how can I renumber all files across all folders without renaming the .txt files?
What I need is as follows: <Folder 1> 01.jpg 02.jpg instructions.txt ....etc <Folder 2> 01.jpg 02.jpg instructions.txt and so on. I am using the method (the Incrementing number per folder) <Inc NrDir:1> but this method will rename every file in those folders .. how to exclude some files according to their name and/or their extension? Thank you in advance |

Hi,
I'm having a problem that needs help. I renamed my files to get the <Img DateOriginal:yyyy-mm-dd> on most of my files, but many don't have this Exif info. Still, they are located in a directory named after the image's creation date (for example, 2011-05-24). On all files that don't have the "DateOriginal" from Exif, I want to precede the name with the directory name in the actual form (YYYY-MM-DD). For example: Files that have the "DateOriginal" from Exif" will be "2011-05-24 - Image name.jpg" Files that don't have the "DateOriginal" from Exif" will be YYYY-MM-DD - Image name.jpg" , where YYYY-MM-DD is the directory name where the file is located. From the documentation, it looks like this can be accomplished with Javascript, but I am not familiar with this, and I need help from someone who could provide me with the code to add to the Renaming method list for me to add in a script and execute it on my 18000 files. Thank you in advance for this help or any idea on how to solve this problem. |

I have started work on version 4.0 of Advanced Renamer. For this release I am more likely to redo implementations of larger modules. One thing I have been working on is the extraction of metadata from media files and documents. Until now Advanced Renamer has been reliant on third party libraries and ExifTool for this extraction. The problem is that these tools can be slow and not flexible enough. Instead I have implemented many file types myself, resulting in much better performance and a more bespoke implementation. I started with JPEGs and work my way through image, video, audio, and document formats and I am maybe 70-80% through the formats I like to support. It has been a fun learning experience. Let's just say that metadata can be a Wild West sometimes.
Since I don't get any statistics from the program, I don't know how the program is used, and I was wondering about which files types and metadata fields are actually in use. It would be a great help for me if you would write a reply to this post or send me an email, telling me about the file formats you use and the metadata you need to be available, or if you don't use the metadata at all. That way I can make sure these features are available when the first release of version 4.0 launches. |

Not sure if it's just me but the icons are really small on my 1440p screen. Was wondering if there would be a possible way to increase icon size or have DPI scaling somehow?
PS. Thanks for not charging for 4.0. when it comes out. Paid for 3.0 years ago. |

I have the following script that for each file in the list is supposed to loop through a list of strings and replace them with nothing. The goal is to remove about 30+ strings from 1000s of file names, but in the order they appear in the substrings variable, which is why I'm using this script to execute remove methods in the order of the substrings.
When I run the script, the status indicates OK for all files, but all the file names are the same\in the New Filename column. Auto Test is turned on. This is my first foray into scripting for Advanced Renamer, but I write powershell and some javascript so I understand enough to be dangerous but apparently not enough. Looking for help as to why this script is not producing file name changes. Script: // Define the list of substrings to remove var substrings = [ ".photographycommercial", ".photographypeople", ".photographylandscape", ".photographyportrait", ".photographyarchitecture", ".photographyblackandwhite", ".photographyadvertising", ".photographyabstract", ".photographydocumentary", ".photographymountainscape", ".photographyexperimental", ".photographynature", ".photographyengagement", ".photographystreet", ".photographyfineart", ".photographyjournalistic", ".photographyevent", ".photographystilllife", ".photographywildlife", ".photographyfashion", ".photographycouples", ".photographysenior", ".photographyseascape", ".photographynewborn", ".photographyconceptual", ".photographygrunge", ".photographywedding", ".photographyequipment", ".photographycommunity", ".photographyretro", ]; // Function to remove substrings from file names function removeSubstrings() { // Iterate over each file in the list for (var i = 0; i < app.itemCount; i++) { // Get the file name var fileName = app.getItem(i).newName; // Iterate over each substring for (var j = 0; j < substrings.length; j++) { // Remove the substring from the file name fileName = fileName.replace(substrings[j], ""); } // Set the modified file name app.getItem(i).newName = fileName; } } // Call the function to remove substrings removeSubstrings(); |

I use this amazing tool to rename a lof of my sample kits, sometimes I have to rename a note in a sample like; piano_C#.wav
I have a regex that captures the note and translates it to piano [C#].wav However, I cannot save a single replace option like the regex. A simple solution would be to let the "Text to be replaced" box be a drop down with the last 10 used replace expressions? Alternatively, it would be great it I can store a single replace option instead of the whole preset list. Thanks for this great tool! |

When I use advanced renamer, it's almost always for entirely different things each time. Would it be possible to add a setting so that when you open the program, there's no methods selected, and methods don't default to their settings from last time they were used?
Unless this is already possible and I completely missed it. |

In the bottom of the main screen there is a "Last Result" pane. It has "Add all succesful items", "Add items with errors" it would be great if there was an option "Add all unmodified items" so that I can rename the items that were not touched by any rename actions. This way I can dump a whole folder in there, and slowly tweak the filters to rename them all.

I've been an avid user of Advanced Renamer for years, and one of the main issues I encounter is the inability to apply commands (e.g. REPLACE) to files that do NOT include a specific substring. Alternatively, I often have to apply commands to filenames that only include specific substrings in the name.
In the example below, I would like to apply a REPLACE command to filenames that do not include the substring "trailer." So in the example below, the REPLACE command would only execute against the second item in the list. - file name trailer.mp4 - filename.mp4 - blah trailer.mp4 I encounter this sort of scenario all of the time (that impacts many commands and there's no easy way to get through this without a lot of manual manipulation. Adding this logic would make Advanced Renamer infinitely more powerful. |

I have a directory of subfolders with a path (for example)
"D:\TShirt\Catalog BT\BG_Music\btdBG_Foreign Music\1" In folder 1 there are 6 files which names are: 1 copy.png 1.png 2.png 3.png 4.png sample.png How do I rename all of them with just one enabled method? I need <DirName:2><DirName:1> for file 1.png, <DirName:2><DirName:1>_<Name> for files from 2.png to sample.png except 1 copy.png (it should stay without renaming) List replace method didn't work in my case: I write ^1 -> <DirName:2><DirName:1> ^2 -> <DirName:2><DirName:1>_2 ^3 -> <DirName:2><DirName:1>_3 ^4 -> <DirName:2><DirName:1>_4 ^sample -> <DirName:2><DirName:1>_sample But it works only for 1.png, result is btdBG_Foreign Music 1, the other files is _2. _3 etc What am I doing wrong? I understand that the task is simple, but I can't solve it in any way. Please help. P.s. RegEx is enabled in the method |

When adding large amounts of files from a network drive the analyzing files stages takes forever and hangs entirely in some cases. Sometimes I'm able to hit the cancel button to stop analyzing files but that usually just makes it crash.
I've checked the Don't analyze metadata box for Images, music, and video files but it still tries to analyze when renaming .zip files for example. I tried adding my files using the Load List feature but that still triggers file analysis. I've seen several posts about this in the forum asking for a way to disable file analysis globally or to be able to easily skip that analysis stage so a feature like that would be great! EDIT: I've just installed the 4.0 beta and did a test by loading 5500 files from a mapped network drive and file analysis only took 7 seconds! Amazing work! |

I noticed the program has gotten very very slow opening. Also I downloaded the new version and the screen is all blue and all of the "buttons" don't work. Am I missing something? Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Any suggestions?

I tried to append at the end of all of my files, but I get an error on all of them. Is there a way to find out why? Is there a limitation on file name length? How do you check the collision rules? I click on the "Name Collision Rule" and get no response.

I am looking for a way to remove duplicate phrases, specifically dates in this format:
Letter 2 May 2013 2 May 2013 This old post https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=3052 gives a simple method for removing duplicates phrases. Replace (.+)\1 with \1 However I need a method which only affects phrases of a minimum length. The method described would, for example, cause IMG_0362 2 May 2013 to be renamed to IMG_0362 May 2013 which is not want a want. |

Hello,
I have what I thought was a very simple use case, but I can't get the regular expression just right. I have several file names as such: Abcd5678.doc Acd745.doc Smn6457.doc The # of letters may vary slightly as may the # of following digits. I simply want to insert a dash between the last letter and the first digit. So my result would be: Abcd-5678.doc Acd-745.doc Smn-6457.doc I've played around with some similar examples I found here, but I can't get it right Any help would be appreciated. |

Good morning!
My ultimate goal is to create a REPLACE method (or, I MAY need a SCRIPT method to do it) to identify Roman numerals (in either lower, upper or mixed case) in text and capitalize only the Roman numerals section(s). I would probably like to do something similar with common acronyms as well. My question is this....in another forum about REGEX, I came upon a method to capitalize text which was: \U\1\E \2 with \U = begin force capitalization \E = end force capitalization Does the REGEX system in AR have a similar item? Thanks for the help! Actually, if you can help with a good REGEX for Roman numerals, I would appreciate it as well! --Jim |

I use several method lists. Some are very long.
Sometimes it would be helpful for me to deselect /select all methods. I would apreciate such a switch, or is it possible to do this with batch"filter"? |

Can we please see which preset we have chosen and working?
I have some presets that are similar to each other and have a lot of methods applied, so either I have to reapply the preset needed or I could already know if I could see the name of the active preset. |

Hi,
I had read few posts about changing date format. However most have delimiter such as 21.07.2023. My files do not have delimiter, so it appears as ESE17170723081002127081180723. I would like to change the last 6 digits to the following: 230718 2023-07-18 (year-month-date) 2023-07 (year-month) 23-07 (year-month) 2307 (year-month) Thank you. |

Somehow when using Power Rename several hundred filenames in our database got modified incorrectly. Here are three incorrect examples: 2016_08_16 SMITH John16_09_16 CW.jpg - 2017_12_13 JONES William17_12_17 CW.jpg - 2018_12_18 BROWN George18_12_18 CW.jpg. A space and the number 20 got chopped off of what was supposed to be a representation of a date. The filenames should have looked like this: 2016_08_16 SMITH John 2016_09_16 CW.jpg - 2016_12_13 JONES William 2017_12_17 CW.jpg - 2018_12_18 BROWN George 2018_12_18 CW.jpg. I have tried many combinations, including using REGEX suggested by ChatGPT, but nothing has worked without modifying 16-17-18 in other locations in other filenames. The issue seems to center around only modifying the number (16-17-18) near the end of the filename in the second "date", perhaps by capturing only the number immediately after the letters [A-Ma-m] but NOT the letters themselves. Any suggestions?

I want to apologize in advance...I hope I am explaining clearly what I'm looking for.
I'd like to add incrementing numbers to a filename based on a time interval (60 seconds), where it rolls over to a new minute after reaching 60 seconds, then the next hour, etc. I have about 1200 photos that covered a 2-hour event on the same day. That makes 7200 seconds for 1200 photos. Each photo would have a 6 second time interval. Before you ask, the photos don't have any accurate EXIF time data, it was all cleared out or made inaccurate before I got to the photos. So I am creating a time estimate in the filename of the photos based off when the event took place that day. The format I use for photos is YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS Ex: 20240421_000001 20240421_000002 20240421_000003 20240421_000004 20240421_000005 20240421_000006 20240421_000007 20240421_000008 20240421_000009 20240421_000010 20240421_000011 20240421_000012 all the way to 20240421_001200 I want to rename them to 20240421_130001 20240421_130007 20240421_130013 20240421_130019 20240421_130025 20240421_130031 20240421_130037 20240421_130043 20240421_130049 20240421_130055 20240421_130101 20240421_130107 all the way to 20240421_150000 Again, apologies if I'm not explaining very well. Thank you in advance. |

Another folder ... another problem ...
2012_11_24 REID Robert_Andrew_'Bob'2_11_29.JPG" 2012_11_26 POTTS Francis_John_'Frank'2_11_29.JPG" 2012_11_27 GRILLS(MITCHELL) Leila_Margaret2_12_06.JPG" 2012_11_28 TEMPLETON Tammy_Ellen_N2_12_06.JPG" Another folder contained several (hundreds) of filenames that lost some characters in the middle. Specifically, the [space]201 that formed part of the second pseudo date in each example above got chopped out leaving a character against the remaining number. [' against 2] [k against 2] [t against 2] [N against 2] I need to select the 2 in each case to replace it with a [space]201 to correct the date format. I can normally do that with a "lookbehind" REGEX expression but that does not work in Advanced Renamer. Is the syntax different for Advanced Renamer? ============================= Some of these filenames also need an underscore replaced by a [space]. In each of these cases, the underscore is preceded by a word in upper case letters or by a ")". 2012_05_16 BERTRAM_Iona_Bessie 2012_05_21 2012_07_21 SMITH(JONES)_William 2012_07_25 Is there an expression that would "universally" select a specific character? |

Hello,
Would it be possible for the renaming method list to be editable with drag and drop regarding the postions of the rules? I use advanced renamer with a lot of regular expressions to rename loads of comics. Sometimes I get sub-optimal results and moving some rules around then fixes this. Afterwards I need to move them back to their original position. Using drag and drop to reorder them (including multi-select) would be a great help. Now I have to do them one by one, which is quite tedious. Hope this is possible in a future release if doable. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, McRam |

Love the app, have a minor suggestion.
When adding a folder, app demonstrates file name adjustments. I would find it useful to be able to group these together, so I can confirm names prior to hitting start batch. I do this currently, scrolling the list to find the names marked for change (highlightd, red and blue entries) - it would be nice if there was an option to have these grouped at the top of the list, for rapid assesssment/adjustment to rules etc. If this exists, and I've missed it, happy to be guided to how to do this :) |

So, the Registered status is misaligned and covers some UI elements. Probably due to my machine being Windows 11, multimonitor, and have some UI scaling.
It's a bit annoying that the Register status still shows even after purchasing a license. Is it possible to hide it? |

I am trying to rename a batch of long file names (emails saved to a folder where their subject lines are now the "names" of the emails).
Some file names have a string like 'bob' or 'jim'. The placement is not fixed (i.e. I cannot simply use a place / count replacement method). Why this matters: I do not want to anonymize every email file; but I want to make sure that a user can easily locate the emails where 'bob' or 'jim' appear in the name. I want to rename the files with a fixed prefix and incrementally increasing number like, and also keep any bob or jim which may be found in the file name. Jay 001999 <Inc Nr:1> Bob Jay 001999 <Inc Nr:1> Jim But I am having trouble with the proper replace or remove method and/or regex to achieve this function. Does anyone have a suggestion? I have thoroughly reviewed the user manual. I am not remotely PCRE-literate but have made a stab at it with what I understand. |

I am attempting to increment the number by 1 and it's giving me a name collision. I'm probably missing something super obvious here, but I've got an issue like as follows: Filename | New filename 1.jpg | 2.jpg (marked red) 2.jpg | 3.jpg (marked red) 3.jpg | 4.jpg 4.png | 5.png 5.jpg | 6.jpg (marked red) 6.jpg | 7.jpg (marked red) 7.jpg | 8.jpg (marked red) 8.jpg | 9.jpg I'm using renumber with number position 1, relative to existing number, number difference 1, zero padding automatic, apply to name and extension. I've tried a bunch of different settings combinations to no avail, and am pretty stuck. I feel like it's something simple I'm missing, but it looks like it's doing them in the wrong order or something, for it to think that it would have name collisions. If they're renamed going from 8.jpg up to 1.jpg I'd think it would never have room for error, since there'd be no name overlap. Thanks |

i broke my naming structureI'm struggling with regex...
I need to move segments of various lengths to the end of the filenames, just before the extension (for subtitles); ie: video (2010).eng [etc etc].srt video (2010).eng.sdh [etc etc].srt video (2010).eng.forced [etc etc].srt to.... video (2010) [etc etc].eng.srt video (2010) [etc etc].eng.sdh.srt video (2010) [etc etc].eng.forced.srt I'm pretty sure this is possible with regular expressions, but I'm just not getting it... Any help would be appreciated! |

I need to BULK auto rename (since I have a ton of photos) based upon the DATE MODIFIED which seems to be the only part of the metadata that survived with all my messed up photos.
I could not figure out how to do this. Can anyone provide me step-by-step instructions on how to bulk edit image files and INSERT the DATE MODIFIED in front of the ORIGINAL file name? This way, the file name will be unique and will not clash with the program. Thanks in advance |

Hello,
I want to rename photos from camera traps and group them by the trigger point that shots 8 rapid photos at once. That means I want to add an incrementing number from 1 to 8 for every 8 photos that have been taken at the same second. Is it possible? Thank you for your time! |

I have a collection of folders where I want a particular section of the folder name removed.
For example: Capitol Media Music The Professional 01 - Tom Elliot - Space Electronics (MERS-6) What I want removed in that example is the "- Tom Elliot" portion. All other folders that I want to rename follow this same pattern, but the number of characters I want removed varies depending on the length of the artist name. So doing a Remove action won't ideally work, but Remove Pattern would work perfectly. However I'm confused about which format string to use. It seems like a simple action. Does anyone know what I should use? |
