Sophisticated Rename is an out of the common program for batch processing. Its power is not limited to renaming functions only. The main features of SR are as follows:

It changes the names and extensions of files using flexible algorithms with the help of various data types: Constants, Counters (numerical and alphabetical), Variables, Extra variables, External variables, Conditionals.

In contrast to programming languages, all data types are defined visually and added to the template with just one click.

All your preferences can be saved to a preset to be used later with other files.

SR can also change attributes, dates and times of files (it can be done in compliance with EXIF as well); you can choose one of five available case types for any item in the template of for the whole name.

Internal EXIF and ID3v1/v2 editors are included. You can edit the data for all files at once of for each file separately.

Only this program allows you to fulfill all your ideas connected with batch processing. If you happen to find that SR is short of some features, you can write a plugin for it in any programming language. It will take just a couple of minutes, and it will be certainly faster than to rename a thousand files manually!

And last but not least is the reliability of the program. First of all, it shows the results preview every time you change parameters – you don`t have to rename files to see how your template works. Second, it allows to restore old file names even after the renaming process.

The distributive includes a tutorial that explains how to manage with various renaming situations.
