File Tasks
File Tasks Overview
File tasks are rename operations that transform filenames. You add them from the File Tasks & Effects menu in the right panel. Multiple tasks can be combined in any order to produce complex rename patterns.
Available tasks
| Task | What it does |
|---|---|
| Find & Replace | Replace any text in the filename with different text |
| Number Sequence | Prepend or append sequential numbers to filenames |
| Custom Text | Add any text to the start or end of filenames |
| Change Case | Convert filenames to lowercase or UPPERCASE |
| Date | Add the file's modification date to the filename |
| Time | Add the file's modification time to the filename |
| Clear All | Erase all characters from the filename (reset to blank) |
Task ordering
Tasks execute from top to bottom. The output of one task is the input to the next. This means:
- Putting Clear All before Custom Text results in the custom text being the entire new name
- Putting Find & Replace before Change Case means the replacement text is also case-converted
- Putting Number Sequence after Custom Text appends the number after your custom text
Experiment with the order to get the exact result you want — the preview updates in real time.
Each task card
Every task card has the same controls:
- ↑ / ↓ arrows — move the task up or down in the pipeline
- × button — remove this task from the pipeline
- Task-specific controls in the body of the card
