Rename workflow

Renamo keeps the flow deliberately short: add documents, inspect the generated names, adjust anything that needs human judgment, then rename all ready files.

Add PDFs or images

You can add documents in three ways:

• Drag files into the main Renamo window
• Click the empty state in the sidebar
• Use File → Add PDFs or Images... or ⌘O

Renamo accepts PDFs and image files supported by macOS. Duplicate file paths are ignored so the same file is not queued twice.

Processing states

The file list can be shown as a compact list or as a table. Use the view control in the toolbar to switch between them.

List rows show the original filename, generated filename, and current state. The table view is Finder-style and adds sortable columns for extracted fields, including custom fields.

Renamo processes up to two documents at once. While a batch is running, the toolbar action changes to Cancel Processing.

Preview and edit

Select a file to preview it in the detail area. PDFs and images support preview zoom controls in the titlebar: zoom out, fit width, and zoom in.

If a prediction is wrong, open the inspector and correct the extracted field. The generated filename updates immediately when that field is part of the filename template.

You can also edit the generated filename directly before renaming. Direct filename edits only affect the selected file; they do not change the filename template or extracted fields.

To retry one file with a different downloaded intelligence level, right-click the file and choose Process With.

Remove a file from the list

Select a row and press Delete or Backspace. This removes the item from Renamo's list only. It does not delete the file from disk.

Rename all

Click Rename all in the toolbar (or press ⌘R). Renamo renames each ready file in its original folder.

While renaming, the button shows progress so you can see how far the batch has gone.
