[QUOTE="mo010, post: 393008, member: 30574"] Ok, i kept trying all these programs for the last hour, the best one that worked for me was A Better Finder Renamer, but i couldn't find an action to delete all the random names of files i selected and replace them with one name(proceeded by numbers of course). I'm sure this action exists, but i can't seem to find it. Note: The replace option asks you to put in a text that is included in the file's name, but most of the files i want to rename are named randomly and it wouldn't work if i leave it empty. Its kind of frustrating that Apple didn't include this when you rename a bunch of files. Because if they did it it would've very simple: Just select the files you want to rename, hit the return button, type in the name you want, hit the return button again and Walla, all of the files are renamed proceeded by numbers to separate them. Don't get me wrong I'm lovin' OS X and hatin' the Windows, But it would've been easier if they included the action without having to add scripts, look for Apps and post in forums t see how they work. Hey, maybe I'm blind and there's an easy way to do this. P.S. This is my 1st week on OS X. So, go easy on me. [/QUOTE]
