Rename and move in one step: send renamed files to another folder, optionally sorted into date or AI-identifier subfolders.
Review AI identifiers before renaming: rename an identifier, group photos into subgroups, and watch the preview update instantly.
Chain steps with Then Apply, for example Find & Replace followed by Case Change.
Grid and Tree views now match the List: old and new names side by side, Quick Look, and Shift-click ranges.
Optional split at capital letters for camel, pascal, snake and kebab case.
Undo right from the success message.
Many fixes for external drives, case-only renames, and names with special characters.
