Just a reminder for those of us who’ve been using Devonthink for thousands of years and who forget to check up on the new features which keep on being added 😀 I used to use the Rename \> Prefix / Suffix / Regex scripts a lot, though one or two of them disappeared a while back. Instead of seeing how they’d been replaced by new features, I’ve just been putting them back on the menu and muttering quietly. Embarrassingly, I’ve only just noticed the **Tools \> Batch Process** command, and it turns out that you can do most of what’s in the Rename scripts with this. Obviously, it doesn’t replaced the Rename \> Regex version, but still, very useful. 1. Highlight the files you want to change. 2. Select ‘Change Name’ in the first dropdown, and then add the Prefix and/or Suffix you want in front/behind the blue-lozenged Name entry. 3. Press Enter.
