I would like to rename thousand of file, but i want to rename it just adding a letter at the front and no changing the other part name

exemple:

coutry1

boat2

country2

boat3

country3

became

FRcoutry1

FRboat2

FRcountry2

FRboat3

FRcountry3

any cool program to do that ?

File Renamer - Basic

I use RenameIt, works well and it's open source.

Just run it, add the folders containing the files you want renamed and use the following settings:

Find what: *

Replace with: FR$(FileName)

[X] Use: Wildcards

Remember that jpg files often contain lots of useful metadata such as the time and date they were taken. You might want to look at EXIFManager which can rename files using this data.

I've used this one for a few years - Lupas Rename.

Simple style I have used with no program.  98 98se xp

Sort them into folders by topic exp folder NEW. then if you mark bound a range of files in the folder and rename the first exp new.jpg and return then the range will be new  new (1) new (2) then just rename the first one only as new (0) and they sort the way you had them.  Been doing it that way for years.

Of course the DOS "Rename" command will also do the job just fine.

ren *.* FR*.*

Will rename all the files in a directory by adding "FR" to the filename as detailed in the OP.

^ If it's the pseudo DOS under XP there are known issues with rename which can result in curious results, especially over large numbers of files. It's one reason why there are rename programs, the one I use/recommended was written {even with a command line version!} because of the problem experienced 'in the wild'.
