Where Does Bulk Rename Utility Store Settings?
Bulk Rename Utility INI settings and favorites files on Windows.
Last updated
Bulk Rename Utility keeps settings in an INI file beside its own executable. No registry keys and no AppData folder are involved. That keeps it portable by accident of design.
Renamed copies of the exe get sibling INIs of their own. Favorites save as .bru files in user chosen spots with the path recorded in the INI. Move both halves together for migration.
Where Bulk Rename Utility stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files\Bulk Rename Utility\Bulk Rename Utility.ini
INI beside the exe, not registry or AppData. Renamed exe copies keep sibling INIs. Favorites are .bru files in user chosen spots with the path in Preferences. Installer and portable behave the same.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Bulk Rename Utility?
Copy the INI beside the exe with the app closed. A renamed exe copy keeps its own INI, so grab each one in use. Favorites reuse through .bru files stored wherever you saved them.
How do I reuse rename criteria?
Save criteria through the favorites feature to a .bru file in a deliberate spot. The INI remembers the favorites path. Moving machines means moving both the INI and the .bru files.
