All I wanted was that. I even don't need PoweToys.

The first one in his illustration was the best.
Renaming one of them causes the rest to be renamed when you select all of them.

@Firas,

Here is a quick demo of the solution that I suggested. I like it because you don't have to install any additional software on your machine. Everything you need is already built in.

I have a folder called C:\backgroundtest and it has a handful of jpegs with long names.
1696948905823.png

Now, I 'll paste in my powershell command and change a few things to fit my scenario, my desired filenames and extension.

And the end result.

Here is a quick demo of the solution that I suggested. I like it because you don't have to install any additional software on your machine. Everything you need is already built in.

Is there a preview? Undo? Do you think the OP would be able to easily adapt it to his needs or generalize it to other situations, especially given how unlikely he is to be well-versed in nuances of PowerShell syntax and semantics? I would never use this method given that free apps exist that greatly simplify the process and offer many different ways to perform changes including serializing, regexps, and on and on, plus, they allow breaking the procedure down into multiple simpler steps, all with preview. And if you still manage to screw it up, they can undo it. (I'm talking specifically about the one I recommended, ReNamer, but it isn't the only one.)

This is something I might try because I started saving some of the lock screen images and they all have to be manually renamed to a jpg extension. They look like this in native form.

Have a backup of the data somewhere, that's always the best solution. Personally, I would have copied a handful of files to a testing directory, and would run the poweshell against that first to make sure it's working. Only then would I run it against the real directory.

There is an optional parameter called -WhatIf that you can use, that would tell you what the command would have done, IF you would have run it. Here's an example for this case. I've supplied the -WhatIf parameter to the Rename-Item cmdlet.

Do you think the OP would be able to easily adapt it to his needs or generalize it to other situations, especially given how unlikely he is to be well-versed in nuances of PowerShell syntax and semantics?
Maybe/Maybe not. In this particular case, there wasn't a whole lot in terms of semantics, and only general stuff that had to be changed in the command. It's a simple one-liner.

However, I think it's great to get an example of what you can do with something like Powershell, then if you find it useful or you want to adapt it to other tasks, it's another tool in your toolbelt.
I would never use this method given that free apps exist that greatly simplify the process and offer many different ways to perform changes including serializing, regexps, and on and on, plus, they allow breaking the procedure down into multiple simpler steps, all with preview.
No problem. You don't have to use this method. We all have different requirements. I work as a Systems Engineer and have a need to script and automate as much as possible in my line of work. So, I always choose to do it that way whenever possible. Plus, you can easily give the line to somebody else who can achieve the same results by just copying and pasting. It's hard to document a process for somebody who is using an app and then you have to say, click this, go here, check this box, click on the top to sort the column, click on rename, put this into this box, etc. To many possibilities for human error here.

I chose to do this one in a one-liner, but you could have had a handful of powershell commands that would have broken this down into smaller steps.

OK. I'd just look at the preview in ReNamer, which is a lot easier to visually parse and requires no instruction because it's just the way the program is designed, with original names in one column, new name previews in the other. Simple. BTW, what would you do if the files were many megabytes or gigabytes in length? You wouldn't just copy them for testing renaming them. At least I wouldn't. (Rhetorical question, BTW. I can think of several ways at varying levels of automation. But I'd just use ReNamer or similar and avoid the whole thing.)

Maybe/Maybe not. In this particular case, there wasn't a whole lot in terms of semantics, and only general stuff that had to be changed in the command. It's a simple one-liner.

What if some of the filenames contain square brackets, like in a[z].txt? The behavior is rather surprising, and the OP wouldn't know what to do about it if he tried to use your "simple one-liner". BTW, the "handful" of file copies you proposed testing on needed to contain examples of all special characters used in the filenames to catch the problem, but when you don't know the problem is lurking, well...

However, I think it's great to get an example of what you can do with something like Powershell, then if you find it useful or you want to adapt it to other tasks, it's another tool in your toolbelt.

No problem. You don't have to use this method. We all have different requirements. I work as a Systems Engineer and have a need to script and automate as much as possible in my line of work.

It's hard to document a process for somebody who is using an app and then you have to say, click this, go here, check this box, click on the top to sort the column, click on rename, put this into this box, etc. To many possibilities for human error here.

The point is, you don't have to give them all that instruction for a program like ReNamer, because they can almost certainly figure out how to use the subset they need just by exploring the UI. If you're trying to convey something complicated, you could send them a ReNamer "preset", which is just a text file they can import.

I chose to do this one in a one-liner, but you could have had a handful of powershell commands that would have broken this down into smaller steps.

Breaking a "one-liner" into multiple lines requires understanding enough PowerShell to ensure equivalency.

Nothing about using PowerShell here is simpler for the OP or appropriate to the task other than to say "This is yet another way it can be done". See, by questioning you about this in my last message, you've had to explain how you would go about testing and previewing the results, and after this message, you need to explain how to deal with filenames containing characters PowerShell treats specially. It's a rabbit hole, and these things simply don't come up when using a program like ReNamer. Note particularly that it hasn't been the OP asking about these important considerations... Indeed, I see OP replied to you, "What do i copy? Im not that good with commands," which tells me unequivocally PowerShell is not suitable for them.

I never said Powershell was the best way to do it. I said that "powershell can easily do this for you". I gave them the example of how to use it as they said they weren't sure what they would have to cut and paste or do.

If the original poster, or anybody else on the thread wants to use a 3rd party tool, that's totally fine. At work, I don't always have the luxury of using a third party tool, various reasons that I cannot just install software...so I have to use tools at my disposal.

If the original poster or anybody in this thread was curious about how they could use powershell, they now have a simple example. Or maybe they had no idea what you could even do with powershell, now they have some knowledge about what it can do.

Sorry my post bothered you so much. Was just an example of a way to do it.



Edit: If the source file names contained square brackets, I would google a bit to find that you could add the -LiteralPath to the Rename-Item cmdlet.

Everyone has their own methods, everyone likes to share them with others. I don’t think criticising someones method is the point. I think the point is @Firas finds the method he likes best. We all gave suggestions, he’s all fixed (y) 🙏

The point is, I think it's highly worthwhile when people demonstrate why certain suggestions are suboptimal compared to others and actually contain subtle traps as given. Nothing about the OP's question screamed "PowerShell!", and he confirmed he shouldn't be using it in his reply to the suggestion, which only prompted two more responses to show him how! It was only after seeing the third such message that I said something. Even if you take my constructive criticism as something else, I defy anyone to say that my showing that you need to always include -LiteralPath in these "simple one-liners" was anything other than a very good thing. It eliminates the chance that some files are bizarrely missed by the operation, and if you bother to read a command that includes it instead of mindlessly copy/pasting, you might wonder what a "non-literal path" is, and that might lead you to learn a little more about PowerShell.
