 Magic File Renamer 4.21
-------------------------

Magic File Renamer is a powerful utility which can rename multiple filenames. 
It's great for using on file collections, or files downloaded from the net 
(like MP3's or an image collection). Use it if you are a file collector of some kind, 
and hate (like me) to see a directory in which some of the files are uppercased, 
some capitalized, some with spaces and some with underscores, etc., or have a lot of 
files which need automatic renaming to a custom format.
Magic File Renamer is an heavy duty file renamer, suitable also for renaming masses 
of files and supports many advanced renaming operations. The user interface, however 
advanced, is intuitive and easy to learn.
