Terms list takes a list of terms and uses them (in sequence) as it renames files, repeating if necessary. For example, say you have a bunch of files:

Photo_01.jpg
Photo_02.jpg
Photo_03.jpg
Photo_04.jpg
Photo_05.jpg
Photo_06.jpg
etc.

If you create a terms list like this:

_Rough
_Final
_Duplicate

Name Mangler could (assuming you check "Use common prefix") rename them like this, via the terms list:

Photo_01_Rough.jpg
Photo_02_Final.jpg
Photo_03_Duplicate.jpg
Photo_04_Rough.jpg
Photo_05_Final.jpg
Photo_06_Duplicate.jpg

So no, it won't do what you want. How exactly are your files named?

I am looking for a way to convert "Jan" to "01", "Feb" to "02" etc. in
a renaming job.
Or do I have to use the advanced mode?

Thanks
