How to batch rename files?

Step1. Click to edit window, then click to rename page.



Step2. Batch rename function support only "Keep Original Format".
We will use one file to give an example, such as AOAO.JPG
* represent original name. # represent auto-increasing serial number (It may be digit or alphabet, but the places of using alphabet are fewer.)
Take the upper file as an example, input * into name pattern plate, and input * into extension pattern plate, it means the file name doesn’t change, because * represents original name.
Use “.” to separate following name pattern plate and extension pattern plate.
Then *.BMP represents all the files, file names keep unchanging, all the extension names change into BMP.(AOAO.BMP).
*#.*, the outcome is the files after AOAO0.JPG in proper order are “original file name 1.JPG”, “original file name 2.JPG”…Because # represent the serial number which needed to increase, the starting point of the serial number is 0.addition is 1.
*##.*, the outcome is the files after AOAO0.JPG in proper order are “original file name 1.JPG”, “original file name 2.JPG”…idem principle.
##.*, the outcome is 00.JPG,01.JPG,02.JPG...., there is no *, so there is no original file name.
Picture ##.*, the outcome is picture 00.JPG, picture 01.JPG, picture 02.JPG...., ##.#, the outcome is 00.0,01.1,02.2.....
*#*.*, the outcome is add 0 after AOAO.JPG and the original file name turns to. AOAO0.JPG…
The change of extension is idem.
So, the place where * is, it represent original file name or extension.
