The Batch Renaming dialog offers a powerful set of facilities to convert, remove, format,

replace and insert text into existing names. You can use simple options to match text, or you

can build your own regular expressions, as required.

Batch renaming can be useful with large projects for example, so you can apply easily iden-

tiﬁable names to all referenced ﬁles, markers and Clips belonging to the project.

Batch renaming can be used for the following operations:

to rename ﬁles

to rename Clips in Audio Montages

to rename markers in Audio Files and Audio Montages.

These functions share most of the same features, with some minor differences. The Batch

Renaming dialog has three pages. The ﬁrst page deﬁnes which ﬁles/clips/markers should

be renamed; the second dialog page deﬁnes how the renaming should be executed. The

third page shows you a preview of the names that will be produced, before you commit to

the changes.

You can access this dialog in various places throughout WaveLab:

from any Workspace: via Utilities > Batch ﬁle renaming...

from the Marker window: via Functions > Batch marker renaming...

from the Clips window in the Audio Montage Workspace: viaFunctions > Batch clip

renaming....

question mark icon. For more information see Getting Help
