Hi:

I've always used "A Better Finder Rename..." to rename files, which is pretty good, although clumsily named and moderately expensive.

A friend just pointed out that if you select multiple files in the Finder and then right-click to select "Rename..." you get a range of options all built
in.

I didn't know that.

Thanks for this. Just done a quick experiment. Useful - I need to do
this from time to time. As is often the case with with graphical tools,
it doesn't support regex (but you'll already know other ways to do that
if you're mad enough to want it).

Mwah. It was already present in Sierra, OSX 10.12,
and maybe even in earlier OSX versions.
(no earlier at hand, right now)

I doan give a shit about that, I just appreciate being told about it by MST.

I've been using it for a good few years - very handy.

Yes, so long ago that I had almost forgotten about it.
ABFR is far more convenient, (and powerful)
especially so when you use the Droplets feature for recurring tasks,
