Badia LinkRenamer
Batch Renaming and
Relinking of Picture Links
Latest Version:
2.0 Universal Binary for
QuarkXPress 7.
Also Available: Version 1.0 for QuarkXPress 6/5/4.
Badia LinkRenamer
allows you to batch rename and automatically relink all picture
links within a document in one single step. Use LinkRenamer to
standardize link names, add descriptive wording, insert project
labels, or remove unwanted characters. Once you create your custom
naming scheme, LinkRenamer renames all picture files in the Finder
and then updates the appropriate QuarkXPress links. Single licenses
start at $79.99.
Conditional
Renaming: Powerful Filtering Rules in 'Plain
English'
The conditional renaming option allows you to rename only images
that fall within a certain pattern. For example, you can use
expressions such as 'Picture name Contains', 'Picture type is not' or 'Picture name ends with
.tif'. Optionally, you
can make the filtering case-sensitive, and apply the renaming to a
specified page range. You then specify where to insert the new
name. You can, for example, choose to delete the matching phrase,
insert the new name before or after the matching phrase or at the
beginning or end of the old name.
Customizable Name
Fields
To build the new name, use a combination of the 3 name component
fields. Each field allows you to choose from: old picture name, a
combination of the Project and Layout names, the picture's page or
section number, an automatic serial number, or any custom text. For
page or serial numbers, you can add leading zeros to complete a
certain number of digits. For serial numbers, you can specify start
and step values, format (numbers, all cap letters or small cap
letters), and whether to reset the serial number after each page.
LinkRenamer can also append the appropriate picture file type (i.e.
'.eps') at the end of the name.
Picture List: Before and After
at a Glance
LinkRenamer shows you in real time the entire picture list with
every picture's old and new name so you know in advance exactly how
each will be renamed. It also indicates whether you have missing
links, duplicate file names, picture occurrences, illegal
characters, whether the picture has been ruled out by the
conditional rename, and the total number of pictures to be
renamed.
