Renamer

With this tool, you can rename a list of selected files in the Basket. The new names are immediately shown in the preview rename pane, but the files are not renamed until you press the Start Rename button.

To rename files you must send them into the Basket and select files. You can send files into the Basket from Browser or Finder.

On the screen below you can see Renamer window:
