General Description:

ReNamer is a very powerful and flexible file renaming tool. It offers all of the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, replacements, case changes, remove contents of brackets, add number sequences, change file extensions, etc. It has an ability to rename folders, process Regular Expressions, and also supports Unicode filenames. For advanced users, there is a PascalScript rule, which let users program their very own renaming rule.

In addition, ReNamer is able to extract large variety of meta tags, such as: ID3v1, ID3v2, EXIF, OLE, AVI, MD5, SHA1, CRC32 and many more.
