    1. Thanks for your feedback, we will look into your request, however, this might take a while.

  1. I’m running windows 7 64 bit; I’ve d/l and installed this program. But, when I right click the file/folder? I get all kinds of stuff in a drop down menu. But, guess what’s missing. Yep, your software. Nowhere around. I’ve d/;l and installed it several times, it’s showing up in that windows context menu. But, I cannot find where I can reverse the names on files/folders

    1. Just select the file(s) to rename, right click on these files for the context menu to appear and select Reverse File Names. Note that Windows limits the amount of files you can select at once. If you select more than 15 files the context menu entry will be hidden by Windows.

      1. It never would work for my windows 7 machine. So now I’ve got 10, same problem, d/l, double click and install and wow!!! Same problem as before. Right click a folder and it doesn’t show. Did it over and over uninstall, reinstall, confirm that I want the app and tried over and over, finally I just gave up. Is there another program like this out there that’ll reverse the file names? I’m trying to set up my ebooks with the last name, first name set up so that the ebooks are easier to find by authors.
        Thanks

        1. Thanks for your feedback. I’m afraid the program does not work the way you intent to use it. It has not been designed to work in that way and as a result it will not live up to your expectations.

          First of all, you can only use Reverse File Names with individual files (up to 15 at a time). The Reverse File Name option will not be available when you select a folder. If you select one or more files in the right explorer pane and right mouse click on your selection you will find the Reverse File Name option in the context menu.

          Secondly, Reverse File Name will reverse all characters in a file name, it does not reverse the order of complete words. For example a file name like Basic Training For Dummies.pdf will result in seimmuD roF gniniarT cisaB.pdf, not in Dummies For Training Basic.pdf.
