Finder File Rename: Batch Find & Replace File Names

[vex]

This simple Alfred workflow allows you to batch rename files in Finder using a simple "find and replace" functionality via universal action. Perfect for
reorganizing files, standardizing file names, or making bulk changes quickly.
It is a very simple thing but I find it very useful.
