In addition to renaming a single file, you can also bulk rename files and folders in Mac without any third-party apps. Mac offers multiple options to rename the files and you can choose the one that is convenient for you. Trying to edit that by putting a different source and %filename% under Pattern will just overwrite the new FILENAME column (under Metadata tab), while the File Name under Properties tab will not be changed.Renaming files and folders is one of the most frequent tasks every computer user does. What happens when the changes are applied is that a new column is created under Metadata tab, which matches the Track Title (while the File Name entry under the Properties tab remains unchanged).īut the odd thing is that if I go back to make new changes and put %filename% under Source, what the preview shows is not the newly created entry called FILENAME that matches the Title, but the File Name that I wanted to change in the first place. This is probably because %filename% in this tool stands for a different thing than what I want to change here: for a metadata entry, which this tool can change (see below), and not for the entry under Properties tab (seen in one of my posted images above) which I try to change.īut this is odd, because the preview changes seem to show that when %filename% is put under 'Pattern', the change will be the one intended. When I select %title% for source and %filename% under Pattern the preview looks fine, that is what I want to put for the file nameīut when I press OK and Apply, the changes are not recorded in the expected place (File name column in Foobar and Name column in Windows).
The idea is to load files in Foobar, go to the files' Properties, Tools, Automatically fill values. UPDATE after getting a comment indicating this answer for using Foobar2000. (I know I can change them one by one in Foobar, copying from the file's Metadata to its Properties
How to mass-change the names so that they match the titles? - And can I do that in Foobar2000? I have some audio files for which I used Foobar2000 to get the proper tags (Title, Artist, Album, etc), so now they have their proper titles when loaded in Foobar and other players, but they still do not have the proper names as seen in Windows file manager under 'Names' column.
