If you need to rename several files at once, Name Mangler makes this tedious task a piece of cake. Name Mangler supports all common renaming tasks:

• Find and Replace (including support for regular expressions for you power users)
• Number Sequentially
• Change Case
• Set Extension
• Add Prefix/Suffix
• Remove/Insert Characters

Select the rename function you'd like to use from a pop-up menu, then customize as you wish. Name Mangler's interface has been designed to satisfy both casual users, as well as those who seemingly make a career out of renaming files and folders.

Because renaming bunches of files can be a scary proposition, Name Mangler always shows you exactly what will happen before it happens. Nothing is permanent until you tell Name Mangler to perform the operation.
