The PowerRename Alternative That Understands Your Files
PowerRename, part of Microsoft PowerToys, rewrites filenames with search-and-replace and regular expressions β it never looks inside a file. Zush reads the content of each file on Windows and suggests a descriptive, searchable name based on what it contains, then lets you review every name before applying. Use PowerRename for uniform mechanical changes; use Zush when each file needs a different, meaningful name.
