Choose Processing Mode and Select Files

Batch File Replace can process files in 3 distinct modes:

• Manual Mode – files are selected for processing, which is then started manually by clicking on the Start button
• Automatic / Background Mode – “monitors” are setup that scan specified folders for either existing, new, or modified files matching criteria, which are then automatically processed once the program starts “monitoring”
• Scheduled / Triggered Mode – processing is performed by processing jobs that can run on schedule or be started on specified events

In Manual mode files for processing can be selected and added to the processing list in multiple ways:

• One by one or in groups
• All from a given directory
• Recursive searching for files with names matching a pattern
• Drag & drop from Windows Explorer
• Paste from clipboard, paste paths
• Import from text-based file containing paths
• Right-clicking on selected files or folder in Windows Explorer

Specify Actions to Perform

You specify which actions and operations should be performed during processing using Action Sequence.

Specify which actions should be performed and in what order by simply drag & dropping them.

Then you can adjust various options and settings for each action to specify all the details pertaining to the operations you want the action to do.

• Perform certain actions only when specific requirements are met using conditions
• Save action sequence for future use as a template
• The hierarchical structure is clearly displayed if conditions are used
• Get instant feedback about any errors
• Actions are color-coded to help you distinguish different types of actions

Select Output Format, Process, and Save

In the last step you choose the destination directory where processed files will be saved; file naming pattern; and some other processing options.

• Use both relative and absolute paths when specifying output location.
• Specify very detailed file naming pattern: use file attributes, random characters, hashes, EXIF meta-data, and more!
• Adjust file dates and attributes
• Set backup and other options

When you have configured all the output options, the program can begin processing files. As it processes files, file list will be automatically updated reflecting detailed progress. Processing can be stopped any time.

At the end the program will display a detailed summary; a processing log will also be available so you can examine any warnings or errors if they occurred.
