Frequently Asked Questions
How can I rename only some files in the table?
Open Rename files window.
Set all required settings.
Select desired files.
To select a file make a left click on a row label (it contains a row number) in the table.
If a file is selected then all cells in its row are highlighted.
To add a file to a selection hold Ctrl pressed while left click.
Use Shift to select a group of files between the current file (its row contains the cell cursor – the black frame) and that one on which label you have clicked.
Also you can move the mouse cursor to the row label of the first file you want to select, press the left mouse button and without release it pull the cursor down or up to select a group of files.
When the files are selected press Apply button in Rename files window.
