A Better Finder Rename 7.3 a better stand-alone app

publicspace.net has announced version 7.3 of A Better Finder Rename. A Better Finder Rename is a comprehensive file renaming tool which transforms the tedious and time-consuming task of renaming multiple files into a simple matter of seconds.

Version 7.3 makes some interface changes designed to provide a better user experience when using the tool as a stand-alone application. publicspace.net is asking for your opinion in how ABFR should behave in its stand-alone form (namely, should the “Apply” button become the default button?) and have posted a simple questionnaire on their blog. If you use the software, you are urged to help make it better.

A Better Finder Rename 7 remains priced at USD$19.95.
