Check every change
Compare original and proposed names. Rules protect extensions by default; manual overrides take precedence.
SUPPORT & GETTING STARTED
A little help goes a long way.
A few practical pointers for a smoother start with Moon Meld Renamer.
Moon Meld RenamerYour first naming workflow
- 01
Bring your files
Add files or a folder, or drag them in from Finder. Choose filters and recursion when you need them.
- 02
Make a naming plan
Start simple, or combine workflow rules. Compare the original and new names before making changes.
- 03
Rename, with a way back
Confirm the batch and folder permissions. View the result and use history if you need to restore names.
Before you press Rename
Resolve conflicts
Conflicts block the batch by default. You can choose to skip or append a suffix, and review that result before running.
Choose what to access
Authorize every selected folder. Folder imports are not recursive unless you choose that option. Packages and symbolic links are not traversed.
Keep a way back
History defaults to 30 days and supports restoring names. External changes or occupied targets can block recovery; cancellation attempts to restore the batch.
Multi-file renaming is not a system-level atomic transaction. Keep a backup of important files, and review the preview carefully.
