+ F2-based file renaming in is place.  Folder renaming is not.  The error checking is fairly comprehensive at this point.
+ Edit menu -> Length presets.  You can enter in your own list of length presets.
+ It will also save your last entered value.-skwire (March 19, 2009, 08:36 AM)

first two items works well but i don't get the 3rd item - "last entered value", did you mean the folder path?

Apologies, I should have been more clear.  It should save the last custom length value you entered/used.  In regards to the folder paths, it will save the last ten (this is easily changed if ten is not enough).

Target:
an update -


* added a 'folders only' checkbox - for limiting your add files actions to folders only...

* all functionality now, umm, functional...
* fixed hotkey (now back to F2 for editing a single entry)
* blocked folder renaming when files are also added to the listview (as changing folder names would change file paths as well...)
* added a replace field - this is something of an experiment.  Where the find field will accept comma separated strings, the replace field will only accept a single entry (be that a character or a string).  Net effect is that if there is an entry in the replace field ALL characters/strings in the find field will be replaced with that character/string (it will accept white spaces so you could easily get caught)
todo -

* do something about the trim functionality to trap requests to trim more than the available number of characters in a file name
I have been doing a bit of testing but i would greatly appreciate it if you (or anyone else for that matter) could do some for me (the more the better!!)

and if you have any feedback, please let me know...

I saw the other thread, I'll have a think about it and see if I can come up with anything...
