- Short: Powerful multi-file renaming tool (MUI)
- Author: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se)
- Uploader: Daniel Westerberg (deniil@algonet.se)
- Version: 1.52
- Type: util/misc
- Requires: MUI, TextEditor.mcc, NList(view).mcc, BetterString.mcc
-
- This program is for renaming, usually many files (hense the
- name) using specially designed Tools to do the dirty work for you!
- But you can also manually step through the list using a simple
- string gadget in a very comfortable way!
-
- Features:
- ~~~~~~~~~
- - It supports filenames of up to 512 characters!
- - It uses MUI!
- - You can save the list for later perfection and final renaming!
- - You can export the filelist as a completely customized textfile!
- - Many ways to automatically renames the files to what you really want!
- - You can number files if you want to make fileseries of some kind!
- - You can edit and cutomize the filecomments of your files!
- - It's great to use when managing playlists or things like it!
-
- The tools you can use in MultiRen is:
- >> Sort - Sort your files anyhow, or shuffle them..
- >> FileCleaner - Clean your filenames from unwanted characters and more..
- >> Adaptor - Make all you filenames have the same length, smart one..
- >> Extension Editor - Change/add/remove/clean up your filename-extensions..
- >> RenPlacer - Advanced *wildcard?-based rename/replace/find-functions..
- >> Numberer - Number your files, or remove numbers. bin/dec/hex/alfa..
- >> File Comment - Edit your filecomments AND filenames anyway you like!
-
- Two useful thing that I didn't classify as tools..:
- >> Export list as text.. - Save the list as text for use in f.ex a script or as a playlist..
- >> Import a text file.. - Import new filenames from a textfile..
-
- One of the more useful features of MultiRen is that no files are
- actually renamed during your work, but only when you decide so
- and press Rename in the main window!
-
- Another great thing is that you can save the list of filenames
- and their states if you want to continue the next day or maybe
- just to save the list as a backup so that you can undo your
- work at a later state if a tool didn't do quite what you expected.
-
- You can use it to create playlists, perhaps sorted or shuffled
- if you want.
- You can also edit file comments in a flexible way, like adding
- date or filelength to them or so.

- News:
- ~~~~~
- * NEW * Included the Substitute Generator into MultiRen. This should
- have been done a long time ago but it just didn't happen..
-
- * NEW * Added a plugin: NGPTool. This helps renaming Neo-Geo Pocket
- rom files!
-
- * NEW * Broke a function in the Renplacer in the last release when
- renaming using single wildcard. It could cause the renplacer
- to hang.
-
- * NEW * Fixed another bug in the Renplacer when renaming with single
- wildcard: If a string didn't match (and therefor shouldn't be
- affected) it was instead replaced by the source, e.g. the old
- name instead of being left as it was.
-
- * NEW * Made a couple of changes to the "Export list as text"-functions.
- Now it's possible to use a custom string just as in the
- File Comment tool. You can still use it as before and this
- has been made even more simple!
-
- * NEW * Custom string in the File Comment tool and the Text Export
- can now be save as the Renplacer strings can using that simple
- Store, Remove and popdown menu functions!
-
- v1.5 ? v1.51
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~

- screen if this was defined to something other than default
- pubscreen.
-
- * Plugins are now automatically selected to be used when you
- select the plugins page in the renplacer the first time.
-
- * Made a new plugin for renaming PSID files! This was originally
- made by Fabrizio "Lanch" Bartoloni.
-
- * Added functionality to the File Comment tool! It's now even
- more flexible when using the Custom source. You can use it
- to nicen up filenames too, not only file comments!
-
- v1.49
- ~~~~~
- * Fixed two bugs in Renplacer/Find and one in Renplacer/Replace.
- Find screwed up a variable and acted random. Both interpreted
- the Source (Path,Old name etc) wrong.

- easily add, remove or change the separator character used
- between the filename and the number without messing with
- the Renplacer.

- string. You can write f.ex: '%n[2;5]' to use 5 chars from offset
- 2 in the New name instead of just the whole New name as before
- with just '%n'!
-
- * Added a new status column for the file comment!

- it's function and purpose is the same. (This is not where you
- "load a text file" as said above.)
-
