Interface
Task Panel
The right panel is where you define what happens to filenames. You build a pipeline of tasks and filters that execute in sequence.
Adding tasks and filters
File Tasks & Effects and Filters are two separate menus accessed by their respective buttons at the top of the panel.
File Tasks & Effects
Opens a menu with rename operations:
- Find & Replace
- Number Sequence
- Custom Text
- Change Case
- Date
- Time
- Clear All
Click any item to add it as a new task at the bottom of the pipeline.
Filters
Opens a menu with filtering operations:
- Name Filter
- File Type Filter
- Time Period Filter
- Time Filter
- File Size Filter
Click any item to add it to the pipeline. Filters determine which files the tasks above them apply to.
Reordering tasks
Each task card has up and down arrow buttons. Click them to move a task earlier or later in the pipeline. The order matters: tasks run from top to bottom, and each task sees the result of the previous one.
For example, if you put Clear All first and Custom Text second, the filename will be cleared and then the custom text will be added — effectively replacing the entire original name.
Removing tasks
Each task card has an × button in the top-right corner. Click it to remove that task from the pipeline. The preview updates immediately.
To remove all tasks at once, click the trash icon in the right panel toolbar.
How the pipeline works
Tasks and filters run in the order they appear in the list:
- Filters first evaluate each file and mark it as active or inactive
- Rename tasks then transform the name of each active file
- Tasks execute left-to-right in the name string, top-to-bottom in the pipeline
Inactive files (those excluded by a filter) appear dimmed in the file table and are skipped by all rename tasks.
