There's several OS X (Macintosh) batch renaming software programs... not just Automator.
Another shortcoming of batch rename is some software renames files, but not necessarily in the same sequence as displayed in a folder.
Windows XP will rename files in the order selected prior to invoking the "Rename..." command. That's good.
how can it be batch processing if it has a gui? "Batch processing is execution of a series of programs ("jobs") on a computer without manual intervention."
it's a bulk rename not a batch rename Jasen betts ( talk) 12:14, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
two pass renaming is doing it the hard way. you need to check that all the temporary filenames are legal, and unique, also as it doubles the number of os calls it's also slower.
A single temporary filename is sufficient if the renames are done in the right orderk, and it should be relatively easy to get one Jasen betts ( talk) 12:25, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
It may be nice to give a list of features and license information in the "List of batch renaming software" section. -- 98.70.43.71 ( talk) 12:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm not too familiar with editing tables in raw wiki markup, but could someone add BULK RENAME UTILITY to the list of software?

The Perl package in Debian contains a program called "rename" (linked from /usr/bin/prename by update-alternatives), originally written by Larry Wall and improved by another person. It takes a Perl expression and the names of files to be renamed as arguments. -- AVRS ( talk) 14:14, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
