Version History
- v2.0.6 - Released November 2, 2005
- Improved compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4.3.
- Fixed the behavior of the Trim from End feature to work properly when entering a negative value. If a negative value is input, NtF! will trim everything to the left of the nth character. For example, if you just want the last 8 letters of all file names, even if they are of varying lengths, enter 0 for the Trim from Start value and -8 for the Trim from End value. Positive values in the Trim from End field will still trim that amount of characters from the end of the original name.
- v2.0.5 - Released October 12, 2005

- Improved notification of rename failures due to duplicate file names, missing original files, or illegal characters (such as “:”) in new names.
- Added a preference option to place original name in the comment field of the file. If you enable this option, any future files renamed using NtF! while this option is active can be reverted to their previous name using the “Revert File Name...” menu item in the “File” menu. A planned future enhancement will allow this feature to be applied to a group of files in a source folder.
- Added option to strip diacritical accent marks in original file names independent of case conversions.
- Option-Clicking the files table will open the source folder in the Finder if it has been specified.
- Changed the behavior of the Trim from End feature. Now, if you put in a negative value, it will trim everything to the left of the nth character. For example, if you just want the first 8 letters of all file names, even if they are of varying lengths, enter 0 for the Trim from Start value and -8 for the Trim from End value. Positive values in the Trim from End field will still trim that amount of characters from the end of the original name.
