It's a very simple application, it replaces strings inside of names with a string of your choosing, for instance:
It let's you:
See the names of all the files in the directory.
See instantly how many items will be affected by the change.
Let's you simulate the change so as to check the result will be what you want/expect.
Produces full logs (including error reports if somethings fails).
Allows you to save the logs for whatever reason you see fit.

It's about 4 hours work with all of the error checking and such, and there are 3 remaining visual bugs to fix, but it works in entirety :)
I'm just wondering if anyone would be interested in the application? I'm happy to fix the bugs and just post up an executable for anyone interested, just wanted to gauge interest first :)
