Works very well.

Works very well. It's fast and simple to use. Shows a preview of the operation before it's performed. It's not as powerful as other tools like "A Better Finder Renamer" but it does what I need and the price is right. (Donationware).

I downloaded this with a little trepidation - a few hundred downloads but no one had reviewed it. I also wondered how intuitive the tool would be. I needed to rename a few hundred files quickly.,
The download and install were simple. I dragged NameChanger to the applications folder and fired it up. I noticed it had spotlight integration, so I typed in the string I wanted to match. The list of files wanted appeared in the left side, so I selected all the ones I wanted, which was easy because they were correctly grouped. Then I typed in the string I wanted to replace on the left, the string I wanted on the right, and clicked the replace button. The replacement happened so fast I had to go check to see if all the files actually had changed. They had!
I am pleased to give this product my highest recommendation for replacing file names. It took less time to rename hundreds of files than it did to write this review. The tool is smart, intuitive (didn't even need to search for instructions), well done!

Good for two-byte characters - Version: 2.1.1, 7/27/2008 08:19AM PST

Though this takes some getting used to how it works, it can handle two-byte characters and that is better than the other renaming applications I have looked at so far.
I'm having to use the 1.3 version though because the latest only supports Leopard.

Unfortunately this product only suit Leopard - Tiger users can download Renamer4Mac or BatchRename'em.

I'll echo what's already been stated here: I've been looking for a simple, direct, easy - but powerful - file renamer for quite some time. NameChanger fits the bill perfectly.
Bonus: Unlike several other similar utilities, it accepts drag-n-drop. So, I add it to my Finder window toolbar, and can easily rename one (or several) items without even having to think to launch the app first. This is how it should be: It Just Works™.
Perfect implementation. Major kudos to the developer for not only recognizing the concept of Occam's Razor, but for implementing it in his software products.

Does what it says it does, simply and elegantly. Append, prepend, delete by character position, find/replace, number, add date, and more. Used it under Leopard, no problems. Rec'd.

NameChanger it works

This works for what I need it to do. It took a few trial and error sessions to get it dialed in, so it could be improved in the intuitive factor. I look forward to a version 2.0 that supports 10.4.+ users. Great for free!

This app has always worked fine but I have to go back to 1.3 until this is fixed.

Basic feature missing? - Version: 1.3, 3/21/2007 03:26AM PST

I like being able to select which files are to be changed, and that multiple changes can be executed without having to reload the files into the app. Others I have tried allow only one change at a time, after which you have to drag the file(s) back in again.
However, my principal use for a renamer requires removing track numbers (the first four characters) from MP3s. Correct me if I am wrong, but there seems to be no option to simply remove a certain number of characters from either end.

I'd look for something like this since the Paleolithic.
And here it is: simple, neat, does what is intended to do.
Just great.
My sincere compliments and eternal thanks.
