Luxembourg City, Luxembourg – publicspace.net has released the first public beta of the 10th generatin of their batch file renaming solution for the Macintosh. A Better Finder Rename has long been the most complete file renaming solution on the market and has transformed the tedious and time-consuming task of renaming multiple files into a simple matter of seconds for tens of thousands of creative professionals across the world. It is based on nearly twenty years of listening to our users and addressing their requirements to the best of our abilities.

A Better Finder Rename is a sophisticated tool that caters for the full range of file renaming tasks encountered by the modern creative professional. Its streamlined interface includes an instant preview feature that eliminates guess work and reduces error. The tool features capture time and date extraction (EXIF JPEG and most RAW formats) for digital photographers, ID3 tag extraction for music lovers, regular expression support, plain-text file import for renaming from databases and many other advanced features.

The renaming engine is capable of handling very large renaming jobs with ease and it meets file renaming challenges, such as file name conflicts, swaps and dependency cycles that other such tools leave unaddressed, head on. The renaming engine leverages all the latest Mac OS X technologies by using a 64-bit multi-threaded architecture based around the Core Data database system.

Version 10 introduces Context-Aware Highlighting in its Instant Preview table to make it easier than ever to dial in the correct settings. The Multi-Step Rename Interface, which enables even the most complex renaming tasks to be addressed, gets a major overhaul to make it much easier and more intuitive to use. The new Preview Pane provides extensive information about any selected file including a graphical preview of the file’s contents and its meta-data. Finally, version 10 features a new graphical style that merges seamlessly with the Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan aesthetics.

“A Better Finder Rename” is ideally suited for creative professionals, digital photographers, web masters, music collectors, audio specialists, users who need to transfer files from Windows or UNIX, as well as for all other Macintosh users who routinely deal with large numbers of files.
