    how to rename in bulk individual filenames? kwvfGMBqcEb-5P8dNycVquaGHCOQxXKWEt048YpfXHg.jpg

    I have a peculiar issue where I need to rename high-resolution video clips that have generic names but no individual short description in the file name.

    I have the list of the filenames with description from another set that unfortunately is low-resolution. instead transfer the file name only one by one, how can I transfer this in bulk? see below sample screen shot.

    Windows 10 and Bulk Rename Utility: opening a file

    Rodrigo,

    Thanks for the reply. The Bulk Rename Utility does not open files. It just renames them. But while running the Bulk Rename Utility, you can double click (or right click and open) on a file name and the image will open using the default app for jpg files. At my home computer, I start Bulk Rename and see a list of jpg files to rename. I click on a file name and it opens the image with Microsoft Photos on my screen. At my office, I do the same thing and I get a MS Photos icon on the taskbar.

    I have tried using different default apps for jpg files like MS Paint and get the exact same results. For some reason, my office computer is not opening the jpg files so that I can see them but just creating a Photos icon on the taskbar.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Windows 10 and Bulk Rename Utility: opening a file

    Hi MarkMcDonough45,

    I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

    Looks like the Bulk Rename Utility is not the default app for .jpg files,

    to change it, right-click any .jpg file > Open With > Choose another app > Check the box "Always use this app to open .jpg files" > Select the Bulk Rename Utility and click OK.

    If you don't find the Bulk Rename Utility on the list, click "More Apps", if you still don't see it, click "Look for another app on this PC" and select the Bulk Rename Utility shortcut or executable file.

    how to rename in bulk individual filenames?

    How to Make Windows 10 Bat File to Bulk Rename Filenames in txt file

    Hello, Just wondering if anyone can help me.

    I would like to create a bat file that will run in windows 10 that can duplicate one jpeg image file ( test.jpg. )
    to a list of filenames ( one per line ) found in a text file ( test.txt )
    This means if i had a list of 100 image filenames or more in a text file it would duplicate the single image file 100 times and rename them based on the filenames within the text file.

    an example of the filenames in text file
    chair.jpg
    house.jpg
    tree.jpg

    Thank you.
