Recommed a good file renamer utility

[spacesurfer]

I need a good file renamer utility.

I mainly want to organize by digital photos. I want to be able to rename them in the format:

Date.Taken_counter_description.jpg,

where date taken is in the format yyyy.mm.dd (not yyyy-mm--dd).

Any good ones you know of?

A (good ) program I used:

(that even allows for Star Trek StarTime/dates)

Another one I used:

The best, by far, been using it for years:

Jim Willshers' Bulk Rename Utility

There's a couple that look quite nice (ReNamer an the one frodo mentionned) judging by the screenshots.

Personally, I've been mostly using a script to do this... Uncommenting certain parts, editing things, etc to do what I need it to at the moment. Mainly for the lack of time to try the 98797867896 different apps out there todo this, and that most of the time, I end up needing it to do something almost none will do (like take #s from in front of the file, and move them at the end, etc).

It takes a couple minutes to copy the script there, and editing it to do what you want, but it sure is a LOT faster (and less error prone) than renaming thousands of files by hand.

I'll be trying those for sure.
