lucas Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Hi everyone I'm looking for a way to rename multiple files to random strings, something like Rename Expert, but for Mac. Does anyone know an app (can be a Mac app, web app or an apple script) to rename files into random strings? Cheers
diogo Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Yosemite has batch renaming capabilities http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/10/18/how-to-batch-rename-files-in-os-x-yosemite/ just don't know if random, but they refer a more advanced tool in that article.
Macrura Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 i use forklift a lot; it has fairly advanced batch rename, but AFAIK nothing with random
yellowled Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 It's pretty pricey for a small tool, but every once in a while, you can find Better Rename discounted or in a bundle. Doesn't do random strings as far as I know, though. 3
alan Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Hi Lucas, I have the app yellowled listed and I noticed it has an option to 'Rename from file list' which would allow you to have a spreadsheet of random names and use that list to rename all files in one go (I think). 1

diogo Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/renamer-batch-rename-many/id402286241 Or less expensive, if you're ok with random numbers http://angrymarmot.org/mac-oslinux-batch-rename-files-random-name/ 3
