PowerRename allows easy searching and replaces or extends matching with regular expressions. As you type the Search and Replace input boxes, the Preview pane displays what the items are renamed to. PowerRename then calls the Windows Explorer file operations engine to perform the renaming. This has the advantage that the renaming process can be undone after PowerRename is exited. The following animation shows the use of the tool.  <\/p>\n<p>(PowerRename, Source: GitHub, Click to zoom)  <\/p>\n<p>A description of the functions can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/PowerToys\/blob\/master\/src\/modules\/powerrename\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PowerRename<\/a> page. The tool was integrated into the PowerToys by Chris Davis based on his <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/chrdavis\/SmartRename\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SmartRename<\/a> tool.  <\/p>\n<h2>What's to come<\/h2>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/PowerToys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GitHub Readme article<\/a>, the developers have given a brief outlook on what they plan to do with other tools. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maximize to new desktop widget &#8211; The MTND widget shows a pop-up button when a user hovers over the maximize \/ restore button on any window.
