1. Re: How to batch rename images in a folder, but not in serial as previously?
I would rather take Bridge. If I understood you the right way, you want to look at the image and then decide what name to give.

3 people found this helpfulShuffle, rename but also change the document name for each one? Not natively within Photoshop or Bridge.
What operating system are you on? Here's a way to use Terminal on a Mac to do it:

Barb, you got it exactly right about what I am looking for. I am using Windows 10 platform so I guess first resolution you provided(for MAC) is not for me.
About second option, I had come across it and tried it as well but nothing happened. May be I did something wrong! I will try it again though.
Just incase you come across any other tool/software for Windows platform please let me know.. I badly need solution for this.

Hello,
I tried Bridge.. it does great for 'Batch Rename' but in a systematic and serial manner, while I am looking for random renaming tool/solution.

Is this to prep photos for a photo frame, or a different application. Maybe if we understand the why behind the question we can offer an alternative workflow. For example, if this is a photo frame question, in Bridge you can reorder the files a number of ways—including manually—and then batch rename them with numbers in the front.

I want to use these images as background images for inspirational quotes..I do it as batch process which applies no. 1 text quotes on no. 1 image. Now I want these quotes on different images. for this, these same set of images must be shuffled and renamed.

Bridge helps renaming in may different ways but sequence of images remain same even after renaming... while I want sequence changed by renaming..

There are third-party file-naming software options that will allow you use an excel sheet to pair the names you want with the existing names, and then apply the remaining automatically.
The one I use is called A Better Finder Rename, but I'm sure there are others that would do the same job.

Hello SJRiegel A Better Finder Rename tool is only for Mac OS, while I'm looking one for Windows 10 platform.

Hello Barb, I tried Stupid Geek Tricks link you had shared. It doesn't work in Windows 10. Could you find something else? I badly need this. Thank you.

Hello All,
I guess I've found the tool which provides what I was looking for exactly. It's called Ant Renamer
