Our favourite free file manager has added the useful ability to rename multiple files and folders in one go. Select items by pressing Ctrl as you click them, or by ticking the boxes next to their icons. Click the Rename button on the toolbar (see screenshot) – or press F2 – to open the ‘Bulk rename’ box, then type the new file name and click Rename. When renaming multiple files of the same type, such as images, Files will automatically append a number to the name, for example ‘holiday (2).png’. In another improvement, when you click the New button on the toolbar and choose Folder, Shortcut or one of the other options, Files now displays a confirmation message, such as ‘Create new folder’. This prevents you from mistakenly creating incorrect items. As always with Files, click the ‘classic installer’ link on the Download page to download it for free.
