ReNamer: The best freeware file renamer? (yes says cybernetnews.com)

<< < (23/24) > >>

PhilB66:
Both http://www.cylog.org/ and http://www.cylog.co.uk/ are up and running. Still takes a long minute to load but it's working.

Looks like a powerful rename tool with simulation mode and undo option. All files and settings are saved in the application folder  :up:.

PhilB66:
Ah, no option for retaining file attributes, creation date, etc.

Armando:
thanks!  :)

And he is sedulous again:

New Beta after full release 5.25 from 8 Apr 2008...

Beta from 22 Apr 2008 ==> http://www.den4b.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1974#p1974
----------------------------
Just to update:
The experimental version of ReNamer is ready, where Filters settings can be saved and loaded with individual Presets.
Both of these have been implemented and they DO require some testing:
* Added ability to save Filter Settings together with a Preset;
* Added split panel in status bar to display current preset and modification sign;
Tell me how it goes, ok?

* Integrated dEXIF libraries to parse EXIF tags (works on problematic JPEG files);

Just wanted to say that I've started to use Renamer more than BRU and Flash Renamer. I really love the ability to saving different batches of rules. Very convenient -- and individual rules can be turned on/off. Haven't found a renamer that does it as well.  :up:


PS : One thing that could be useful would be a feature allowing to anotate some rules and batches to rapidly see what they do -- especially convenient when working with loooonnng regex. I might bring the suggestion directly to the developer.

Do this please ;-)

FYI, ReNamers RegEx engine supports (?#my comments) 

Therefore, many modern regex flavors allow you to insert comments into regexes.
The syntax is (?#comment) where "comment" can be whatever you want,
as long as it does not contain a closing round bracket.
The regex engine ignores everything after the (?# until the first closing round bracket.

f.ex.  \d*(?#find an digit, null or more)
Try it out and tell us how it works.

And i found out "Free-Spacing Regular Expressions" is supported too
In free-spacing mode, whitespace between regular expression tokens is ignored.
Whitespace includes spaces, tabs and line breaks.
Note that only whitespace between tokens is ignored.
E.g. a b c is the same as abc in free-spacing mode,

For comments on saving presets...
you could add an PascalScript-RULE for your comments only. (without any script, just comment only

You have to comment-out this comments.
You can use either of these commenting styles:
{ comments }
// comments
(* comments *)


HTH?  ;)
