Software that enables file copying from OS X to OS 9 by shortening lengthy file names.
As a software review, X29-Renamer is an essential tool for those using Mac OS9 file system and ASIP file servers. There is a maximum character limitation of 31 for either file or folder names, which can be problematic for users with longer file names. However, with Mac OSX, longer file names are now allowed.
X29-Renamer solves this issue by truncating long OS X file names for copying to OS9, ensuring that file or folder names are never truncated with "gibberish." This program creates a unique number for each file or folder before the extension up to a maximum of 999 to avoid any name conflicts.
Using X29-Renamer is incredibly simple. You just need to drop the folder or files on top of the application, and the program takes care of the rest. This feature is particularly useful for users who have hundreds of files they need to rename. The process can take some time. Still, as long as the application is running (check your DOCK), it is still doing its job accurately, even if you have full control over your mouse.
Additionally, file extensions are respected with this software, and if there are any errors, a log file will be created on your desktop detailing the problem. Overall, X29-Renamer is an effective solution that guarantees all files are uniquely named and numbered, making it an invaluable tool for Mac users experiencing problems with their file names.
