DOWNLOAD Version 4.0  -  (released December 2002)


RenamerFairy v4.0 is compatible with Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.

It can be installed as a shell-extension (appears on menu when you right-click multiple files) or as a normal application.

Changes in Version 4.0
  • More bug-fixes (no known bugs remaining).
  • Added "Application Version" as an alternative to the shell-extension.
  • A few minor aesthetic changes.
  • Better installer.
Changes in Version 3.0
  • Added "Undo" - ability to undo each step of the renaming process before changes are applied to files.
  • When renaming a file fails (usually due to invalid characters in the file name) the window will remain open and allow you to change it
  • Added a few UI niceties to make it a bit more user friendly
  • RenamerFairy now remembers the values stored in each of the form elements between sessions.
  • Added option to make RenamerFairy always-on-top, could sometimes get hidden beneath other AOT windows and cause problems.
  • Added a configuration dialog to alter some settings:
    • Enable/Disable Always On Top
    • Enable/Disable Remember settings
  • Improved select all/deselect all
  • Added a nice (but very compact) setup program, no more dodgy .inf files (thanks to NSIS)
  • Added a proper Uninstall program (also courtesy of NSIS)

  • Renames both files and directories
  • User-friendly windows application
  • Multiple text-handling functions
    • Replace text in filenames
    • Number files
    • Add/Remove text from beginning, middle or end
    • Change case of filenames (UPPER, Title, lower)
    • Include/Exclude file extension in processing
    • Unlimited Undo steps.
    • Files can be individually excluded from steps of the renaming process

There is no manual for RenamerFairy as it should be quite obvious how to use it.

Notes:

  • Files are not renamed until the main "OK" button is pressed and the window closes
  • Each step of the renaming process must be applied to the files by pressing the "Apply To File List" button
  • Pressing "Cancel" means that none of the files will be renamed
  • Use the checkboxes to the left of the files in the file list to decide whether operations will affect those files
  • The "WorkSpace" tab can be used to calculate lengths of different parts of the filename. Select "WorkSpace" and then click a file in the list.
  • When numbering files, if the files are in the wrong order in the list simply drag-and-drop them to the correct position or click on the title above the list to sort the files alphabetically.
