About:
Prefixsuffix is a graphical GTK+ utility designed for batch renaming files by adding or modifying prefixes and suffixes. It allows users to process multiple files simultaneously, providing a preview of changes before applying them. This tool simplifies organizing large collections of files through consistent naming conventions.
Key Features:
  • Graphical user interface for easy batch processing
  • Real-time preview of file renaming operations
  • Supports adding, removing, and replacing text patterns
  • Handles multiple files and directories at once
Use Cases:
  • Organizing photo libraries by adding dates or descriptors
  • Standardizing document filenames for project management
  • Preparing media files for consistent web uploads
Alternatives:
  • rename – Command-line utility using Perl expressions, more powerful but less user-friendly
  • Bulk Rename Utility – Windows-only tool with extensive features, not available on macOS/Linux
