Assuming you're on windows (Its easy to find on osx and linux users wouldn't ask a question like this :P)you could just select all the files you want to edit,right click edit, type in the name, press enter and it automagically renames all the selected files to the name you entered followed by " (n)" where n is the number of the file.

This works on win 7 so I'm sure it works on win 8.x to.

 

edit: added description, pictures. 

Ofcourse you could also write your own simple program in java (5 lines or so). Get all files in the directory and iterate over them.

Hi!

 

I have a bunch of picture files from different cameras and albums etc that I would like to, in a simple way, be able to load into a program and then rename all of the files with a suffix of like 1, 2, 3, 4 or something similar to it.

 

So if I have files:

IMG_123.jpg

PIC_23542.jpg

IMGPIC_123412.jpg

 

Then I would like them to be able to be renamed to(with the program, I would like to avoid doing it manually):

 

Holiday_1.jpg

Holiday_2.jpg

Holiday_3.jpg

 

And so on.

 

Do you know of any software that does this? Preferably for free.

 

EDIT: I'm running Windows 8.1 x64 bit

 

Thanks!

I'd like to add another 3rd party software called Bulk Renaming Utility here. Its really nice with multiple options. And best of all, its portable. So no installer needed, only unzip to folder.
