Rename multiple folders at once on a Mac

How can you rename multiple folders at once on a Mac, if each needs to be renamed to a different name?


 Renaming multiple folders at once on a Mac can be done using the Terminal application. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Open the Terminal application: You can find Terminal in the Applications > Utilities folder.

Navigate to the folder containing the folders you want to rename: Use the cd command to navigate to the desired directory. For example, if the folders are in the Downloads folder, type cd ~/Downloads.

Create a list of renaming commands: Start by listing the current names of the folders you want to rename, followed by the desired new names. Separate each pair with a semicolon. For instance, if you want to rename "Folder1" to "NewFolder1", "Folder2" to "NewFolder2", and so on, the command would be:

ren Folder1 NewFolder1; ren Folder2 NewFolder2; ...  # Repeat for all folders

Use code with caution. 

Execute the renaming commands: Once you've created the list of renaming commands, press Enter to execute them. The folders will be renamed accordingly.

Here's an example of how to rename multiple folders using the Terminal:

cd ~/Downloads

ren Folder1 NewFolder1; ren Folder2 NewFolder2; ren Folder3 NewFolder3

Use code with caution. 

This will rename "Folder1" to "NewFolder1", "Folder2" to "NewFolder2", and "Folder3" to "NewFolder3" in the Downloads folder.
