1. Getting Started

After installing RenameIQ Pro via the simplified installer, launch the application. On the first run, it will take a few seconds to initialize the local AI brain—this ensures all your data stays private and offline.

2. Step 1: Add Your Files

Just like before, simplicity is key. Drag and drop your mixed PDFs, images, or entire folders directly into the main window. You can also use the + Add Files button.

3. Step 2: Choose Your Profile

RenameIQ 2.1 introduces Profiles to handle specific document types intelligently. In the Settings panel, you can switch between specialized modes:

  • 💰 Finance: Perfect for invoices and receipts. It extracts Vendors, Dates, and Total Amounts.
  • ⚖️ Legal: Specialized for NDAs and Contracts, extracting Parties and Execution Dates.
  • 🚚 Logistics: Designed for shipping documents, tracking numbers, and delivery notes.

4. Step 3: Configure Rules

We've streamlined the experience. Simply click ⚙️ Settings to configure your global preferences:

  • Naming Strategy: Choose between Styles like Vendor - Date - Type.pdf or Date - Vendor.pdf.
  • Date Format: Standardize all dates to your region (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD).
  • Case & Separators: Enforce clean formatting like Title Case with hyphens or underscores.

5. Step 4: Analyze and Execute

Click START PROCESSING. RenameIQ's AI will scan each document in parallel, leveraging multi-core processors for speed.

You'll see the Proposed Name appear instantly. If you need to make a tweak, just double-click the name to edit it manually. Once you're satisfied, click EXECUTE RENAME to commit changes safely.

6. Advanced Power Features

Auto-Pilot (Folder Watcher)

Want to go completely hands-free? Enable Auto-Pilot in the Developer menu. Select a "Watch Folder" (like your Downloads directory), minimize RenameIQ, and it will silently process and rename any new file that lands there automatically.

Training Mode

If the AI misses a specific vendor logo, you can teach it! Right-click a file and select Train Template. Draw a box around the vendor name, save it, and RenameIQ will prioritize that area next time.

RenameIQ Pro 2.1 isn't just a renamer; it's a smart assistant that learns and adapts to your workflow, giving you back hours of your time.
