How do I name files in one folder to those in diff folder

In folder A i have 10 files with the names I want
In folder B i have the same 10 files at a higher bit rate named track1, track2... track10.

Any way to rename the files in folder B to the ones in folder A?

Re: How do I name files in one folder to those in diff folder

What I would do:


1 - Add the good ones into the list. Take care on the order of the files you'll need later the same order for the other ones.

2 - Click above the files table on: Export > Export new names to clipboard.

3 - Empty the list of files.

4 - Add the other ones. Now you'll need them to be in the same order than the previous ones.

5 - Go to the rule Userinput:
- Paste the names from the clipboard.
- Mark replace current name
- NO skip extension
- Save rule


And that's all, just check if they are correct and rename.

Additional tips:
1. Do not forget to preview ALL the file names before pressing the RENAME button.
    If your "Autopreview" program option is not selected, press the PREVIEW button.
    In case the sequence of files is not correct, move some files and press the PREVIEW button once again.
2. Once the preview shows correct new names, then press the RENAME button.

@SafetyCar

The paste names from clipboard is not working. The window remains blank.

Any Ideas

Mmmmm, OK, sorry, before the 2nd step you'll probably need to click preview, before exporting...
