Name Mangler 3

Name Mangler is a blazingly-fast multi-file renaming tool that's incredibly easy to use. • Create single or multi-step renaming actions, save them, and share them across Macs • Rename in excess of 2,000 files per second • Use files' metadata (e.g. ISO speed, dimensions, bit rate, etc.) in new names • Before and after views of your filenames insure you rename them as you intend • Save renaming tasks as droplets: just drag-and-drop files onto a droplet, and they'll be renamed • Load any previously-used rename action from the History browser Name Mangler 3 represents a quantum leap forward in file renaming: speed and beauty combined with ease of use, and loaded with features.
