Rename & batch rename

With a single item highlighted, press F2 (controller X) to rename it.

You can also create new items from the command menu: New folder (Ctrl+N) and New file (empty).

With two or more items selected, F2 / X opens the batch rename dialog, which renames the whole set at once in one of two modes:

  • Numbering — a shared base name plus a zero-padded counter (extensions are kept). For example photo-01.jpg, photo-02.jpg, …
  • Find & replace — replace text across all the selected names.

A live preview shows every old → new and flags any clashes before you commit. It runs as a tracked operation, and the whole batch undoes / redoes in one step.

When the selection spans multiple folders (from a search), batch rename restarts its number counter per folder and groups the preview by folder, so numbering stays sensible within each location.
