Name Filter

The Name Filter includes or excludes files based on whether their filename contains a specific text string.

Controls

ControlDescription
NameThe text to search for in each filename
Include All Matches / Exclude All MatchesToggle between inclusive and exclusive mode

Behavior

  • The match is a substring match: report matches annual_report_2024.pdf, report.docx, and report_draft.txt
  • The match is case-sensitive: Report does not match report
  • Matching runs against the original filename, not the preview name

Modes

Include All Matches (inclusive): Only files whose names contain the search text remain active. All other files are excluded from the rename.

Exclude All Matches (exclusive): Files whose names contain the search text are excluded. All other files remain active.

Examples

Files: photo.jpg, photo_edit.jpg, document.pdf, notes.txt

NameModeActive files

_editExcludephoto.jpg, document.pdf, notes.txt

Tips

  • Use this filter to target files with a specific keyword in their name (e.g., copy, draft, backup)
  • In Exclude mode, use it to protect files containing a certain string from being renamed
  • The empty string matches every filename, so leave the Name field empty only if you intend to match everything
