Lockergnome review on v3.0 (which supported only file renaming)
"When you need to rename a series of files, this is the app you need to be using. Browse through folders, preview changes before they're actually made, rename files according to their extensions, and update time stamps. The interface is easy to interpret, too. If you can click, you can use this program. Drag & drop functionality (from the Windows Explorer) is also supported -- as if it wasn't easy or quick enough already."

Feature	Product
	Personal	Professional	Corporate
Powerful Recursive Rename - this feature allows you to rename every single file in a folder up to infinite sub-folder levels!	NO (Only Single Level)	YES	YES
Duplicate Name Check - allows you to identify names which can't be renamed due to other files having the same name after the rename operation.	NO	YES	YES
Full Unrestricted Version	NO (Shareware - will expire)	YES	YES
Network Drive Support - allows you to rename files and folders over network drives.	* YES	NO	YES

* - Network drive support is supported in the personal edition as part of the package. It is NOT supported in the PRO version so if you decide you want network drive support, please purchase the Corporate version.

PERSONAL - Rename files up to a single directory level deep. Eg if you rename files in C:\, ONLY files in C:\ will be renamed.
PROFESSIONAL - Rename files up to infinite directory levels deep. Eg if you rename files in C:\, ALL files in C:\, C:\Program Files, C:\Windows, etc will be renamed. This will save a lot of time if you have lots of subdirectories and need to rename files quickly. Duplicate name check also allows you to identify problems before rename.
CORPORATE - Similar to Professional, except that it has network drive support.

You can try Quick File Rename Personal edition for FREE. It will expire after a certain number of executions, so if you like it please purchase it.

How drag and drop works in the program

Whenever a drag and drop operation is performed, a structure is passed on to the application where the drag and drop operation is carried out. This structure includes information on the type of object (file) being passed, how many of these objects are there, and so on and so forth. Quick File Rename extracts information from this structure, and process each file one by one. The actual renaming is done by calling a Windows API function. Quick File Rename is coded in C++ instead of the other languages such as Delphi, Visual Basic, etc. As such it takes longer to code, but runs faster.

How it was implemented

Software used:

• Visual C++ using MFC with Windows XP headers for Visual Styles support (for coding)
• Microsoft Unicode Layer for Win9X (for unicode support on Win9X platforms)
• Adobe Photoshop 6.0 (for the beautiful buttons which you see)
• Windows 98/2000/XP (testing platforms)
• Microangelo (icon design)
