Batch rename your files into a new structure, works for ANY file and/or suffix/prefix!
Being one of dragonBTV's batch series, batchRENAMING can copy and rename the whole folder of your files in seconds.

As a batch processing App, batchRENAMING paid more attention to the original files' security and the app's execution efficiency. All prefix, begin number, and suffix input is illegal character protected. Instead of direct renaming, renamed files will be copied to a destination folder you choose. 

Besides these, you may also use batchRENAMING to batch copy, rename and separate files to different folders according to their suffix.
