Installation Guide

1

Download & Unzip

After purchasing, download the Fast-Batch-Renamer-Mac.zip file

Double-click the zip file to extract it

You'll see Fast Batch Renamer.app

2

First Launch (Important!)

Right-click on Fast Batch Renamer.app

Click "Open"

Click "Open" again in the security dialog

βœ… App launches!

3

That's It!

After the first time, you can double-click to open normally

Optional: Drag to Applications folder for easy access

❓ Why the right-click?

The app isn't code-signed by Apple (costs $300+/year - too expensive for indie developers). This is completely normal for indie Mac apps. The app is 100% safe!

Quick Start Guide

OR

Click "Browse..." and select a folder

2. Choose Operation

Troubleshooting

🚫 App Won't Open (Double-click doesn't work)

Solution:

  1. Right-click on the app
  2. Click "Open"
  3. Click "Open" again in the dialog
  4. This is only needed the first time!

⚠️ "App is Damaged" Message

Solution:

Open Terminal and run this command:

xattr -cr "/path/to/Fast Batch Renamer.app"

Or drag the app onto this command:

xattr -cr [drag app here]

πŸ“ Files Not Loading

Check:

  • Are files hidden? (names starting with .)
  • Is the folder empty?
  • Try clicking "Refresh" button

Solution:

Use the "Browse..." button instead of drag & drop

❌ Rename Failed

Possible causes:

  • Files are currently open in another app
  • Duplicate filenames
  • No write permission for the folder

Solution:

  1. Close any files you're trying to rename
  2. Ensure names are unique
  3. Check folder permissions

↩️ Undo Not Working

Note: Undo only works immediately after renaming

  • Can't undo after closing the app
  • Only works for the most recent operation

🐌 App Running Slow

Tips:

  • Work with 500-1000 files at a time
  • Close other applications
  • Ensure enough free RAM

Benchmarks:

  • 100 files: Instant
  • 1,000 files: 5-10 seconds
  • 5,000 files: 30-60 seconds
