The File Renamer Tool is a command-line application written in C# designed to rename files in a specified directory based on a customizable naming format. It allows users to filter files by extension, define a custom file naming format, and specify a starting number for file naming counters. This tool is particularly useful for organizing collections of files, such as photos or documents, by renaming them according to a consistent pattern.
