Suggestions for a batch rename program?

Yeah I still use PSCS so I am just a tad bit outdated. It still works for me and I will keep using it for at least 6 more months or so and then I plan to make some changes in the things I use, so I want to wait before I spend $200 on an upgrade.

Thanks for the suggestion; I am looking it over now.

"THE Rename" will sort files by file date, then rename in that sort order.

I guess you'd have to test it to see if it can sort by file creation time in finer increments than file date.

I just popped in a memory card from a camera, sorted them by size, then dropped them in a copy of THE Rename. They resorted fine by file creation order, altho, oddly, the program gave them all a date of 1/1/1980.

But, if I had sorted the images by name, because they are named img_number, I could have renamed them in creation order. I imagine you must be messing with a odder collection of images than just a single memory card folder.
