# BatchRenamer
Renames batch of items in Mac Finder (anything that can be renamed).
This script can be saved as an application, or be run as is.

## How to use
### 1. Select items in the Finder.
### 2. Run the app.
Remember: Items appear in the renaming queue in the order they are selected in Finder.
For example, the items you want to rename appear in a window in this order:
- image.jpg
- essay.doc
- folder1
But you want to rename them (with numbers at the beginning) in this order:
- 01 folder1
- 02 image.jpg
- 03 essay.doc
So you must select the items in that order (folder1, image.jpg, essay.doc) before you run
the app.
## Useful Tips
### If items you want to rename are in different folders from one another:
- Create a Finder tag to assign to those items.
- Put that tag in window sidebar so all those items appear in the window.
- Select items and run BatchRenamer.
