WinFR File Renamer - The innovative file renamer and ID3 tagger

Renaming functionalities of WinFR:

1. Numbering
   The numbering function is particularly helpful with the comfortable administration of picture or music collections. As user of WinFR you have many options to number files. It is possible to place the numbering before and after the file name. The actual file name is normally preserved in this process, but it also can changed.
2. Renumbering
   This function allows the changing of an existing numbering. You can insert new files into numbering, remove files from numbering or change the parameters of the numbering (initial value, incrementation, ...).
3. Date/Time
   With this option date and time of creation or last modification can be added to the file names.
4. File extension
   This option allows the replacement of all file extensions of opened files by a new file extension.
5. Capitalization
   Four functions of capitalization are available, which should cover the most usual requirements. There is the option to apply this function to file names and/or file extensions.
6. Prefix/Suffix
   With this option the file names are extended by a prefix and/or suffix, without changing the actual core of the file name.
7. Replace/Remove
   With the help of this option single characters or character strings of a file name can be removed or replaced by new characters or character string (e.g. replacing of underlines by blanks). The replacing of first x characters, from character x, or from character x to y is also possible (whereby x and y are positions in the file names). Additionally you can replace or remove character groups like numbers, letters or special characters.
8. Insert
   This menu option allows to insert character strings or file information (e.g. EXIF/MP3 data) on free choosable places of the file name. There is the possibility to select if the counting starts at the beginning or at the end of the file name.
9. Move
   Herewith you can freely move parts of file names to new positions.
10. Trim
    By means of this functionality the name can be limited to a given number of characters.
11. Name structure
    A name structure provides the functionality to assemble file names by a specific schema. Beside normal text (which will be taken over one-to-one into the file name) also so called elements (tags) are supported. Examples are additional information like the artist name or title for MP3s, and picture information for JPG picture files, but also parts of the current file name.
12. Get new names from file
    By means of this option new file names can be determined by a list. For this WinFR uses CSV files which among others can be created with customary spreadsheet programs.
