SimpleRename 1.5

Description:
This little utility will make renaming folders of files a breeze! You may change a wealth of properties during the change including file Type/Creator combinations. Selectable numbering allows you to place the progressive number anywhere in the file name you want! Great for prepping files for the web. You'll wonder how you ever got along without it!
NOTE: The current release is PPC & 68k (fat) which means that it currently runs on both systems. When system MacOS X is released, this software will be released as PPC only. However a non-ppc version will be available from the website.
Features:
Ä Rename a whole folder of files with just a few clicks of the mouse!
Ä Force the change of a particular file type/creator or "adopt" the type/creator if you don't
know it!
Ä Add a suffix for web files such as jpg, gif, pcx, htm, or any you choose!
Ä Start the numbering from any spot; great for finishing a job later, or adding files to a list!
Ä Visible progress shows you exactly how much longer the process will take, visually!
Ä Place the progressive number anywhere in the name you wish!
Ä Online Help with Balloon Help! (Show Balloons must be enabled)
Ä Manual Included is in ClarisWorks 4.0 format. A free demo version of AppleWorks 5 from
www.apple.com will be sufficient to view this document if you don't have ClarisWorks.
Warning:
This version contains no "Undo" method of any kind. I state this because if you use this program improperly, you have the ability to change all files contained in a folder. An example of improper usage would be: selecting the applications folder and renaming all applications in that folder, while changing their type/creator codes and so on. This would render those applications useless. Also, be sure that you wish to alter an entire folders contents, as there is no way (yet) to remove or select certain files to rename. Use with some caution.
