I’m trying to search for an app that can do bulk rename of old files on my Mac. Pathfinder is one alternative, but their support is very, very lousy, I haven’t received a reply in months!
‘A Better Finder Alternative’ is another utility that I haven’t tried. Any suggestions?
I know they exist, but I don’t know any specifically.
I recall seeing this question on /r/datacurator, might be worth searching/asking there?
Depending on what it is I’d use my Excel skillz and the Terminal. Do an ls -l, dump that in to Excel, do a bunch of manipulation, CONCAT together a bunch of mv commands, paste back in to Terminal.
I know I know I should use Python or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hi. I’ve used Forklift as well, however, I’ve done a couple of batch renamings in Path Finder that weren’t possible in Forklift (per my attempts and their customer support).
Hazel best app ever……….
There’s an app called Renamer that I use via Setapp that does a perfect job.
Maybe Name Mangler · Many Tricks?
Name Mangler is my favorite Mac tool for this.
If you need a CLI, rename is really powerful.
