Bulk Rename Utility features Part 1 - what are Filter, Replace, and Extension

Nice to meet you again,MM friend, this time I will give an explanation about the Bulk rename Utility application, before starting for those of you who still don't know what the Bulk rename utility is and its uses, you can read the link about the article below.

You can see questions about the application in this application forum directly via the link below

Bulk rename Utility - Forum

this time I will just explain the features of this application.We start from the first and in my opinion, the most useful in this application is Filters or selectors

  • Filter

1. "Mask" is an important feature contained in the filter function because the mask is similar to a search engine that can sort files directly by name, masks usually start with an asterisk (*) this sign means that we have to sort files based on the last word, usually extension or file type so if we remove the * sign it means we are sorting files based on the preposition. In addition to the * bunch, there is also a !(exclamation mark). This mark serves to exclude words that we write in the mask. we can also sort various types of files or the first word of the file by using (“ ”) for example “*.png*.jpg*.txt”.

2. “Match case” is a tool to really match the examples we wrote in the "Mask" such as uppercase and lowercase letters that must match the words or letters in the "Mask".

3. "RegEx" is a tool for checking letters in words or file names that we fill in Example file name is Test_ke2 we only need to write a few letters that lead to the file name we mean it can be the letters Tes , t_k or e2 we can still get the file name we want. For the continuation of the discussion about RegEX I will discuss in the link below.

 Article will be uploaded

4. Next is "Folder" and "Files" I combined because by default these two options will be checked (active), the function is simple, if the folder function is checked, it means we can see other folders in the folder we are looking for (path) as well as files. So if it's unchecked, it means we can't see anything in the folder or Path that we choose.

5. "Hidden" as it means hidden means we can see if there are files that are hidden even though our file explorer is not set to see the hidden files. 

6. "SubFolder" if we activate (tick) this function we can see a file that is in the folder contained in the path where the file we are looking for.

7. "LVL" What does mean like in the game, not "LVL" here it means how far the bulk rename application must display the subfolders that are in this path, lvl 1 means if in the path there are other folders and in it there are several other files and folders only existing files will be shown in the folder and its contents will not be shown. If we change the value in the lvl subfolder it will be automatically activated because this function aims to see the files and folders in the path according to what we want.

8. "Name (Min,Max)" this function aims to eliminate files or folders whose character size is less (MIN) or more (Max) than what we input into the function, but we must pay attention if the file length of characters or letters must be added with the extension name.

For example, there is a file called photo and the extension is PNG which means at max we have to write 8 instead of 4 or 7 because if the folder name is added with the extension to Foto.PNG, dots or other characters such as spaces are also counted.

9. "Path(Min,Max)" function is almost the same as "Name (Min,Max)" but the selection is done using the full path of the file you can see the full path directly from the file by selecting it then right click > properties > below location file type.

 

  • Replace

Ok…. next is replace here will be brief because there are not many futures or functions that must be explained, the first is

1. “Replace” and “With”

"Replace" means replacing the words contained in the file or folder by writing the words or letters in the file that we want to replace by writing the replacement in "With".

2. "first". what's that? Using the above example we can see the use of "first"

Example We change: Photo+Info+Location.png > Foto-Info-Location if we don't use boxing it will change all the letters we want to change but if we enable "First" only the first letters of the file will be changed left), to : Photo+Info+Location.png > Photo-Info+Location.

3. "Match case" is the same as the explanation above so I don't need to repeat it, you can read it in the 2nd function of the filter.

 

  • Extension

The first box is dropbox which has several options such as "Same", "Lower", "Upper" and "title" which serves to change the writing style of the extension that our file has without changing the function and file type. Then there is a fix, meaning that the file is changed to what we wrote in box 2, in box 2 we have to write the file we want without ( . ) for example Foto.png which we want to convert to jpg we only need to write jpg without ( . ). Lastly, there are "Extra" and "remove" in other words, adding and subtracting as the name suggests "extra" only adds extension after our old extension, so if Foto.png > foto.png.png while "Delete" will permanently delete it.

Alright, that's all for an explanation of the functions of the bulk rename utility Part 1
