Really useful

After seeing all the low ratings, I thought I needed to chime in. Ive been using the application for a while now and found it to be very intuitive to use and extremely powerful. I am trying to live a paperless life and just kicked DEVONThink to the curb and replaced it by a simple folder structure.

Renaming files to follow a certain pattern is really easy to do with this application, especially if you need to do something that would take a long time to set up in Automator or would otherwise require command-line tools using regular expressions. Take for example a case where files are currently named BANK_STATEMENT_UBOC_MM_DD_YYYY.pdf and youd rather have them be named YYYY-MM-DD - Statement - UBOC.pdf. Using this app, its simple to do this using a combination of built-in actions and the regular expression module to move the date into the desired format. If you need to do this several hundred times, you will appreciate what this app does for you and wont be whining about having spent $20. I am certainly not using the app to its full potential, but am always amazed at what it can do if I need to use it.

Somebody mentioned that the tags renaming is not useful. I would strongly disagree. Every now and then, I export images from my Lightroom library to share with family and friends. I use Better Rename to rename the images according to a useful pattern, rather than leaving them in the cameras own naming convention. Its super cool that you can access EXIF information and make it part of the files name.

The app does indeed crash every now and then, so this is something the developers should be working on.
