This program can rename large amounts of files and folders in few clicks. It only modifies files/folders names:
* Changing extension
* Replacing character strings by others
* Inserting a character string
* Moving characters
* Deleting several characters
* Enumeration
* Name creation with mp3's Tag (ID v1.1)
* Name creation with file's last modified date and time
* Random names creation
* Case change (uppercase, lowercase, first letter of each word in uppercase, ...)
* Take names from a list/file
* Use of EXIF info
* Regular expressions
Availble in 11 languages : English (default), Chinese (simplified & traditional), Czech, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian.
Unicode file names are supported under Windows NT4, 2000 and XP. So it is possible to rename without problems files that have names containing characters from Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Arab, etc.

Tested successfuly under Windows 98 (with few updated system files), Windows NT4 Workstation (SP4 required), Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional
Known bugs and limits
* Unicode is supported only on NT systems (Windows NT4, 2000 and XP)
* Batch files cannot have unicode characters in their name and path
* Ditto for the folder where the program is located, and for the command-line when it is called with parameters
* Since version 2.04 the program does not start on Windows 95, it seems to be caused by a missing function on this system
* In the "Use date & time" action, if you use a long date format (with day or month in letters, like "December" in English), it will fail for days or months that have special characters in their name (like "Décembre" in French). This bug will be corrected soon, but I have to find how to do that
So simple to use and yet so flexible - very good tool!
