Works very well. - Version: 2.2.1, 8/8/2009 05:52AM PST

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'm very pleased - Version: 2.2.1, 1/25/2009 09:43AM PST

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!

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.
