ChangeExtension v1

ChangeExtension allows you to change the extensions of files from the context menu in Windows Explorer. To change the file extensions of multiple files, simply select all the files whose extensions need to be changed, and type in the new file extension.

Other features include Drag n Drop support and autocompletion for commonly used file extensions.

    Awesome dude. This is really useful. So what’s next in your lineup. Btw, have you made some software where we can rename multiple files with a common name and then a number in an increasing order?

      that’s a nice idea bro. “ChangeExtension” can be easily modified to handle that behaviour. add a new textbox for the filename and modify the code in the “cmdRename_Click” subroutine and “renameFile” function.

      I wrote the above program for copying files from my browser’s Temp directory. FLV’s are download as TMP files, so I use this to rename their extensions to FLV.

        You mean even if you just see a video on youtube, it is stored temporarily in the temp folder as a .tmp file?

        • shirish says:

          Yup, in Opera. Chrome has an even more restrictive temp storage system. For Opera, i sort the files in the temp folder by size (since video files are large) and rename and copy the FLV files. this method works for almost any video streaming site… :cheers:
