The latest update of the venerable utility is the beta 8.0 release, which will be a free upgrade to anyone who bought the product since January 2007 (or owners of 'forever licenses'); upgrade costs start at $12.45 for single user licenses.New in the forthcoming v8:
- a new single-window interface, simplifying most actions into 7 renaming categories
- a more powerful database behind the renaming process
- automatic conflict resolution
- full rename preview lists (up from a max of 250 files)
- performance enhancements (multi-threading, optimization of rename order)

I am a fan of Renamer4Mac, but this one being Leopard only means I'll give it a try.

A simple python script usually does the job for me...

Name Mangler is also a great (and free) option.

Yep, used File List for years, and now Name Mangler has taken over the reign. Really good stuff.

Or you could open Applescript Utility, check "Show Script Menu in Menu bar", and try out the free batch renaming scripts in the Finder category.
I use them all the time.
But I'm still on Tiger, so your mileage may vary.
