Free file names software for mac

FileRenamer is used to change file names of items contained within a selected folder.
There are several ways by which file names may be changed. One way is by using sequence numbers preceded with an optional string.
Another way is by using find and replace rules for unwanted strings and characters. And still another way is to write your own name changer AppleScript that FileRenamer calls. The file extensions may be changed or left alone. Written in AppleScript Studio.
Enhancements:
- Added UNDO!!! In the Preferences panel, if you check the UNDO checkbox, then an applescript is written to the folder containing the FileRenamer program which will allow you to UNDO the LAST file name change you performed - even if it was using recursion. This UNDO file only contains the LAST name changes. You will open it with the Script Editor and RUN it to perform the UNDO.

File Lister 1.0 is developed to be an easy to use utility which helps with listing files. It has options for excluding and matching files not found in Sherlock or other search applications. File Lister could be used as a search utility, though it's main purpose is to return and save a list of files. Lists can be saved as text or html files.

Saved text file lists can be re-opened by File Lister. Saving as html is best for printing or web implementation. The html generator uses style-sheets, which make page loading faster for large lists. If the list is saved as html you have the option to link each file name to it's path on your system.

This makes all of the listed files accessible from a single page (good for an mp3 list or documents; note that long file names are not supported in IE). Other html options include: table border, cellspacing, cellpadding, html title, font, text size, text color, link color, active link color, visited link color and hover link color.

HELIOS File System Test UB is a potential and easy to use tool which can test file server compatibility.

Every Macintosh user or system administrator can easily verify in a quick and reliable way if their file server is fully compatible with Mac OS X clients. The HELIOS File System Test can examine AFP, NFS, SMB/CIFS, and WebDAV network connections. The 11 tests check for the support of file sizes exceeding 4 GB, long file names, UTF-8 compatibility, correct file access rights, as well as the consistent use of file/directory IDs. If a server fails any tests, a detailed error message explains the issues.

Whats it for?
As you begin to use your IMS computers you will probably want to transfer documents created on your Macintosh to your IMS network folder. If your file name does not include the correct three-letter file extension then your IMS computer may not know which application to use to open the file. That means you will have to select the correct application each time you open a transferred file. You can add the correct file extension for each file manually if you want to. Not a big deal for a handful of documents. But could be a real chore if you have lots and lots of files. Or you can just let this magic little application do it for you.

How does it work?
Magic of course! Just select a list of files you want to convert and drop them on the magic hat icon. Then watch it perform.
It auto-magically checks the file type and adds the correct file extension to the file name. Because some operating systems cant handle file names longer than 31 characters, it will also truncate the file name to 27 characters (the dot and the three-letter extension make it 31).
If the new 31 character file name is already used a dialog box will appear asking you to select a different name. If the name you select is already in use then the operation will stop. You will have to check your files and try again with any files that were not already converted.

What files does it convert?
It will currently work with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents; AppleWorks documents and FileMaker Pro documents. All other files will be ignored. If you have a lot of documents from another application, let me know and I will add them to the list and send you an update.

PSRenamer is a program with a graphical interface that will easily rename a group of files for you. You can change file extensions, or any part of the file name. Starting with version 1.1, you can also assign a series of sequentially numbered file names.
PSRenamer is freeware. There is no registration fee required for use of the software.
Enhancements:
- Changed to look for collisions with existing files. If collisions can be avoided by changing the order of renames, then they will be, otherwise renames will be skipped if they would cause existing files to be deleted.

Replace Text in Selected Names works just like the Replace Text in Item Names but it will replace the desired text with another string in the names of only the selected Finder items.

For example, you can replace spaces with underscore characters in a group of selected files.

Completly freeware for personal use.
