Version 11 allows you to add multiple file filters to your action list, so that different types of files can finally be renamed differently within a single multi-step rename.<\/p>\n

You can preview both the file names and the filter criteria directly in the preview table.<\/p>\n

Version 10 introduced support for using meta-data tags, such as shooting dates, camera, image or song information to rename files.
