Changing extensions 'en mass'

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
Hi. I was wondering if it was possible to change the file extensions of a group of files all at once? If anyone can help me with this it would be awesome. Thanks!

    You could either use AppleScript or Automator to do this. In fact Apple already provide an example AppleScript which can be used to rename files in the Finder.



    If you enable the AppleScript menu via the AppleScript Utility app, you can then select "Replace Text in item names" from the Finder Scripts.



    Enter the name of the extension you want to change and it will change all the files for you.
