RenEm - rename em (rename a bunch of files easily).
You know when you've got a lot of files to rename?
Maybe you're putting thumbnail pics on a web page.
Maybe you're organizing your CRAPPILY NAMED midi files.
Don't you HATE renaming em in Windows Explorer?
ARGH!

RenEm makes a big ole file listing for you to just overtype in notepad.
Then it renames the ones you overtyped.
Ahhhh! Search and Replace! No harsh cursoring or double clicking, etc, etc.
RenEm just asks you for a directory to list off

Then pops up notepad for you to overtype lines with new filenames

And pops up this dialog so you can let RenEm know when you're done.

Then RenEm confirms your edits with notepad

Then BAM! (Sorry Emeril or whatever that guys name was)
Things to watch out for:
- don't delete any lines - that'll mess up the assoc between from and to names
- don't change the PATHS, only the filenames - changing paths MIGHT might work,
but i haven't tested it yet ;)
If you have (intentionally or otherwise, lemme know how it worked for ya :)
- you may notice some warnings about over 80 columns, etc.
that's just in case you're editing the list with ned
(with its awesome 80 column limit)
