Rename various folders ignoring current name with Better Finder Rename
I have the following folders
trip to xxx
folder-temp
pic-temp
my-xxx-videos
I wanna rename all the folders to "my-folders1", "my-folders2" and so on.
I am using better finder rename but I don't see an option that lets me completely remove any folder name and replace it with something else. Any ideas?
I already know how the incrementing number work.
Solution 1:
You can 'completely remove any folder name and replace it with something else' using the Completely rename action, available from Advanced & Special:
This feature simply renames a file to the new name specified above. This is useful in combination with the droplet feature.
Solution 2:
Maybe it's easier to open Terminal, go the the parent folder and run
i=0
for f in *; do
if [[ -d "$f" ]]; then
mv "$f" my-folders$i
((i=i+1))
fi
done
