/ About Namesmith: Batch File Renamer
Namesmith is a batch file renamer for Windows that shows old and new names side by side. Give photos, music and documents useful names, then check the result before applying it.
Clean up a folder: replace text, remove copy labels, change case and add sequential numbers. Combine rules in your chosen order or correct a single name with F2.
Rename photos by date taken and name MP3 files from artist and title tags. Keep companion JPG and XMP files on the same base name, with their extensions preserved.
Use CSV rename lists or build a naming template. Save a project with examples of expected names; inspect each step to see which rule or metadata field produced the result.
Review duplicate destinations and invalid names before applying. Use local rename history to preview an undo plan and restore completed file names.

/ Notes
Arrange rename rules and compare old and new names before applying them. Saved projects can include expected-name examples, while local history provides a preview of an undo plan.
Undo restores names, not file contents, so rename logs are not file backups. Folder watching continues while the process runs; reopen Namesmith to stop watching if closing the window has only hidden it.
