Product Description:

A Better Finder Rename is the most complete renaming solution available on the market today. That's why, since 1996, thousands of hobbyists, professionals and businesses depend on A Better Finder Rename to organize and maintain files. A Better Finder Rename's user interface supports complex renaming tasks without sacrificing ease and speed of use. Simply drag the files you want to rename straight from the Finder into the large preview table or the application icon.. or use our Finder context menu and hot key. The Instant Preview feature eliminates guesswork and costly errors and helps you find the right settings quickly and accurately by providing as-you-type feedback. A Better Finder Rename offers a complete set of renaming options that are organized into 7 categories covering all the text, character, position, conversion and truncation features that you would expect from a file renamer, but it does not stop there. Photographers use the advanced sequence number and date & time features to clean up their portfolios or prepare photos for delivery to their client. A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. Support for all major RAW formats (including JPEG, CRW, CR2, THM, NEF, TIFF, RAJ, ORF , MRW, DNG, PEF, SRF, etc.) extends this to professional photographers. Version 8 now also deals gracefully with multiple shots captured in the same second. System administrators, web masters and other power users will appreciate the presence of advanced features, such as regular expression support, conversion to Windows NTFS/SMB compatible names, the ability to import file names from a database, a spreadsheet or any other source that can produce plain or tab-delimited text files. Last but not least, the ability to save a record of the current and new file names greatly facilitates tracking your files. Music lovers can use the built-in MP3/AAC support to exploit the id3 meta-data tags embedded in your most music files to create their own naming schemes for their music collection. Meta-data information from mp3, aac and iTunes music store files are supported.

MBP OSX 10.5.6, moved from ABFRX 8.15 to 8.16 -> no problem
PowerMac G5 OSX 10.5.6, move from ABFRX 8.15 to 8.16 -> immediate crash upon launch OH THE HUMANTIY AGgghhhh!

However, if I do a "Get Info" on ABFRX and turn on "Open in 32 bit mode" it seems to launch and operate fine, so I guess it has something to do with 64-bit mode on PPC machines.

I've been using it for seven years now, and it never went wrong. From year to year, it has improved and came to be the most complete, easy to use and safer utility of its kind. Responsive developer.

I believe I've probably tried every other renaming utility out there and, at various times, one or other has had some unique feature that I found useful enough to keep me coming back to that program and not using ABFR. Not any more.! As of version 8 ABFR now appears to have the superset of functions of all other renamers and I need no other program. It's also a bonus that the interface is well thought out and quite easy to master. Some of the other programs are, no doubt, powerful but you need to be a total propellor head to have a fighting chance of getting them to do anything useful. If you are a photographer shooting any sort of volume at all ABFR will pay for itself in a single shoot. Highly recommended.
