Whether you want to add sequential numbers,
change case, change filename extensions, remove or convert spaces, add folder
names or each file's time to its name FileBoss has a quick and easy
routine for doing so. And whether you are renaming files just a few
at a time or batch rename by the thousands the routines work exactly
the same.
Changing Filename Extensions
1)
 Select the files to have their
extensions changed
In the following example
we have the acts of Hamlet that all have the uppercase extension
HTML. We will change all of
the extensions
to simple, lower-case htm
for uniformity.
Naturally we could have also just selected a
folder and told FileBoss to rename all the files in the folder.
2) Select Actions | Rename... from the main menu
3) Select the
Change Filename Extensions tab
The display below shows all the tab. It
is important to remember that when the OK button is
pressed only the settings in the current tab - in this case the
Transform tab - will be used to rename the files.

- Click on the Change
Extensions tab it is not already selected.
- Select the Change to: radio
button and enter htm
in the box to the right.
4) Confirm the renamed files
After pressing the OK button in the above step,
FileBoss will find the first file to be renamed and display a
confirmation dialog similar to the one below with the new
filename extension displayed in its own field on the right
You can continue to rename or skip each file
individually or at any time you can Rename
All the rest of the files or Skip
Rest thus ending the renaming.
Note that you can edit the new name anyway you
like and then press the Rename button
giving you total control over how the file is named.
 5) See the results
When FileBoss has finished changing the filename extensions the new names will appear immediately in the Contents
window with all their extensions set to lower case
htm.
