    Renaming files or folders can be very cumbersome, especially if you want to rename a high number of files. But it is not necessary to click on every single file individually, make some changes just to take the same procedure at the next file!.

    Powerful, easy-to-use, with as many options as pyrenamer, allows selecting files among many to perform operations on. Provides good feedback of which files will return errors on rename attempts (e.g., dupes.) Unlike Krename, does not have an Apply button, but will instantly rename when Rename button is pressed.
