Export list

The Export window allows you to save the current file list from your renaming batch in one of three formats: Text, CSV, or JSON. The options available depend on the format you choose. You can export basic information, like filenames and paths, or more detailed metadata about each file.

Text Format

Exports a simple list of filenames. Use this format for a plain list of filenames, with no additional data.

File encoding
Choose between encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, or ASCII.
Default: UTF-8

Export fields
Only the filename is exported in this format.

CSV Format

Exports the list as a spreadsheet file for use with Excel, LibreOffice, or for data exchange with other tools.

Column separator
Choose the character used to separate values (e.g., ; or ,).
Default: ;

Quotation character
If set, fields including spaces or the column separator will be enclosed in quotes.
Default: "

Add header row
Includes column names as the first row.
Default: checked

Quote all cells
Forces all cells to be enclosed in quotes.
Default: unchecked

File encoding
Choose between encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, or ASCII.
Default: UTF-8

Export fields
Active columns: Exports only the currently visible columns in the file list.
Custom: Lets you select exactly which fields to include. If you choose to export metadata, each metadata field will be exported as a separate column.
Tip
If special characters isn't presented correctly when importing in other tools, try changing the file encoding.

JSON Format

Exports the file list in structured JSON format. Use this format when you need data for further processing in scripts or applications that support JSON. For JSON, file encoding is always UTF-8.

Indentation
Number of spaces used for indenting nested data. Ignored when Compact is checked.
Default: 2

Compact
When enabled, outputs JSON in a single line (no indentation).

Export fields
Active columns: Only includes columns currently shown in the main list.
Custom: Lets you select exactly which fields to include. If you choose to export metadata, the metadata will be structured as key-value pairs in a JSON object.
