Update: Google has now added a Rename folder feature to Google Reader. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday evening I devoted some time to organizing my feeds in Google Reader. I wanted to add new subscriptions, remove some others and rename folders for a better workflow. And then I realized that Google Reader doesn’t have an easy way to rename folders: no “Rename” button, no option in Reader’s settings, nothing. I was about to start creating new folders and moving all my feeds to them, when I came up with this little trick to rename folders in Google Reader without having to turn all your feeds upside down.<\/p>\n

1. Enter Google Reader’s Settings and click on the Subscriptions tab.<\/p>\n

\"Rename<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Enter the folder name you want to edit in the filter text field on the right side.<\/p>\n

\"Rename<\/p>\n

3. You’ll see a list with all the feeds saved in that folder. Now click on the “Select all” option on top of the list, and right after that create a new folder with the new name on any of those feeds, by clicking on the “Change folders” button and selecting “New folder”.<\/p>\n

\"Rename<\/p>\n

\n

\"Rename<\/p>\n

4. Go to the “More actions” menu and select the new folder you just created under “Add tag”. The tag will be applied to all the selected feeds.<\/p>\n

\"Rename<\/p>\n

5. Now, in that same menu, select the old folder name under “Remove tag” and voil\u00e0! All the selected feeds will be saved now under the new name.<\/p>\n

\"Rename<\/p>\n

6. The only thing left is going to the Tags tab and deleting the old folder.<\/p>\n
