Rename or move selected media

Use batch tools to rename selected files or move them to an offered destination.

Why use it

A small naming and folder pass makes generated versions easier to find outside PixelPig as well as inside it.

The Tools panel with Organise expanded and a rename template ready for the selected file.

  1. 01Select one or more files in the media browser.
  2. 02Open Actions > Tools and expand Organise.
  3. 03For moving, expand Move to folder and choose one of the destinations offered for the current source and project.
