The first search will be performed in the source file's name.The subsequent searches will be performed in the derived names. ** Remove characters from desired range : Remove characters from a desired character range and generate new file names without those characters. ** Lowercase and Uppercase conversion : Change the generated named to all lowercase of all uppercase. ** Change file extensions : Change the extension of multiple files easily. For example : The file extension ".jpg" could be converted to ".JPEG" in multiple files at a time using the application. You can use this app to rename files in their current folder, or move them to a different folder with altered filenames Works well, but no Help file or documentation Once all changes are done, the files with new names could be saved to a folder of choice. On Phone #1 my files’ names looked like this: I used this app to rename photo files taken by one smartphone to match the date-and-time pattern of files taken by another smartphone.
To integrate (merge) these two sets of files with the result having all photos in chronological order, I used this app to rename the files from Phone #2 to match the filenames from Phone #1.
I was able to insert hyphens (-) and periods (.) in the right places, and replace the space with an underscore. Two usage notes: (1) In an Insert or Overwrite operation, position 0 is *before* the first character, but in a Remove Char operation the first character itself *is* position 0. It would be better (app developer, please note) if the first character of the filename were always “1” in all operations. (2) In a Remove Char operation, if you want to remove the "n-th" character, specify “n” for the From position, and “n+1” for the To position. For example, if the filenames begin with ABC and you want to remove “C” (character position 2), you would expect to enter From=2 and To=2. However, this will not remove any characters. Instead, you must specify From=2 and To=3.Ī Bulk Rename Tool Help file is definitely needed. We have now added a help video to the application. If you have multiple CC sub-folders, repeat for all of them.This help video describes all steps in details to rename the files.

Download and install the program in the above link.Ģ. This is where the Bulk Rename Utility comes in!! It does the work for us.ġ. But imagine having to go through several gigabytes of files to fix this problem Did you know that the game can only understand underscores (_) and hyphens (-)? Even a space can spell disaster!īy removing all other characters and spaces, the game has an easier time understanding and loading our CC. It’s pretty common to come across a piece of CC that has some sort of symbol in the name “” and “~” are pretty popular. A large part of the lag is often down to the game’s inability to read characters and spaces in file names. We’re a hardy (and stubborn) bunch in the Sims Community and lag time of up to an hour is not unheard of. It’s very easy to accumulate CC, yet we know that it can cause our game to lag. CC is a huge part of our game and often the undoing of our much loved saves.
