Sound Familiar?

The daily frustrations of disorganized files

Scanner ChaosScan_001.pdf, Scan_002.pdf, Scan_003.pdf... 127 invoices, contracts, receipts-all named identically. Finding the right file means opening them one by one.
PDF?
Meaningless NamesDocument.pdf. Document (3).pdf. Final_FINAL_v2.pdf. Zero identifying information. Q3 report or vendor contract? Open it to find out. Again.
The Manual GrindRight-click. Rename. Type carefully. Repeat 200 times. One typo? Start over. Three hours in and you're only halfway done.

There's a better way. And it doesn't require learning anything new.

I just renamed 847 scanned invoices in 2 minutes and 40 seconds. Doing that by hand would have destroyed my entire Friday. I actually got to leave work on time.
