Advanced Renamer 4.08 Commercial

Advanced Renamer is a program for renaming multiple files and folders at once. By configuring renaming methods the names can be manipulated in various ways. It is easy to set up a batch job using multiple methods on a large amount of files. The 14 different methods enables you to change the names, attributes, and timestamps of files in one go. The files can also be copied or moved to new locations based on information in the files.

With Advanced Renamer you can construct new file names by adding, removing, replacing, changing case, or giving the file a brand new name based on known information about the file.

Before performing the operations on the files you can verify that the output will be correct and if you perform the rename and regret it, you can undo the complete batch.

Image files
This mass file renamer is a great utility for organising digital pictures for both professionals and beginners. The thumbnail mode lets you display thumbnails directly in the file list giving you maximum control of the renaming process. With this program you can rename all your photos in a snap.

GPS data
If your image files contain GPS data you can add the name of the city and the country where the picture was taken. Coordinates are used to lookup city, country, and state names from a database containing more than 100,000 cities around the globe.

Music files
MP3 and other music files often have messed up names and contain weird characters. With Advanced Renamer you can change the names of your favourite music files to more suitable names using the built-in ID3 functions.

Video files
Ever wanted to add the codec or the resolution of a video to the filename? With the video tags you can add various information about video and audio content to the names.

Changelog version 3.89.2 – 2023/08/18

New menu bar
New toolbarThe menu bar has been replaced by a new more accessible and modern looking menu bar. This makes functionality easier to find since functions are no longer hidden away in sub menus.

New formatting date/time tags
Tags for formatting date and timeImage date and time information can be found in various meta data fields in images files. For years you could change which field to use when using the <Img *> tags, but now you can also choose which field to use directly from the tag. To do so use these new format based tags:
<Img DateOriginal:yyyy-mm-dd>
<Img DateCreate:yyyy-mm-dd>
<Img TimeOriginal:hh-nn-ss>
<Img TimeCreate:hh-nn-ss>
<Date:yyyy-mm-dd>
<Time:hh-nn-ss>
<Date Created:yyyy-mm-dd>
<Time Created:hh-nn-ss>
<Date Modified:yyyy-mm-dd>
<Time Modified:hh-nn-ss>
<Video Date:yyyy-mm-dd>
<Video Time:hh-nn-ss>

Note how the format can be set directly from the tag giving the option to format the whole date with only tag instead of using multiple date tags.

Improved high DPI and multi monitor support
For a long time multiple monitor support and support for 4K monitors has been a challenge for Advanced Renamer. For this version I have put a great deal of effort into improving support for a modern monitor setup. It can be difficult to test all kinds of setups, is if you have any problems related to screen resolution ans scale, please let me know.

Removed features
When moving forward you some times have to take a couple of steps back. It was chosen to deprecate some features of the program to make it easier to maintain in the furute. It of course sucks if you rely on any of these features, but that is how the world works sometimes.
The following features have been removed:
TV show import removed<
Bitrate based tags removed. They were unreliable.
Field GPS Accuracy removed from file info box
Library dependencies for video tags removed
ID3 duration tags removed
