ReNamer:Renaming to another folder

This article describes how to move (rename) items to another folder during the renaming process.

Basically, this is achieved by specifying a new folder path in the New Name field. In practice, this can be accomplished by a single Insert rule. Both absolute and relative paths can be used. For example, let us imagine that we have just added few files to ReNamer.

Name
Text.txt
Song.mp3
Document.doc

We want to move those files to a new folder "C:\New Folder". What we need to do is to add a single Insert rule, inserting "C:\New Folder\" as prefix. This will result in the following:

Name	New Name
Text.txt	C:\New Folder\Text.txt
Song.mp3	C:\New Folder\Song.mp3
Document.doc	C:\New Folder\Document.doc

Now you can proceed with the renaming as usual.

You can also make visible New Path column in the files table, where you will see the final destination for each item. This can be extremely useful when working with relative paths, because relative paths, including those which contain ".." (parent folder) and "." (current folder), will be resolved into the full path.
