File names are important for organization and recognition. Also file extensions which are part of the filename are important for its proper association with applications and functioning. So, for computer filenames the phrase what’s in a name is not valid ;-). While its easy to rename a file using default ways, it is troublesome if you want to rename a large collection of files using same method. So, softwares like Solid Renamer comes handy to save your valuable time and labor.

Solid Renamer is a small and flexible file renaming tool, which offers all the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, clipping, insertions, replacements, enumerations and case changes. It allows you to combine multiple renaming actions (rules) as a set, applying each action in a logical sequence.

My Verdict on Solid Renamer

I have just used Solid Renamer to rename 735 files extension in a batch and it completed within seconds without any errors. The software is easiest than any other renamer software I used. A suggestion about this software is an option to backup original files or an option to move renamed files in another folder other than replacing the original.
