Multi rename tool - suggestions

[UPieper]

Hi,

I'm using the multi rename tool regularly and I noticed some things, which
in my view would be a nice addition to the existing feature set:

- make it possible to include files in subdirectories (saves a lot of
time if you have many subdirectories
- make it possible to have multiple entries in "search for" and "replace
with" box, so that complex renaming(replacing) tasks could be done in one go
- make a dropdown box which saves the entries in the "search for" and
"replace with" box

Would be nice if this could be implemented!

I would appreciate if Include subdirectories option would be added to the Multi rename tool.

I would appreciate if Include subdirectories option would be added to the Multi rename tool.

That could be achieved by using [Ctrl]+ - branch view. This displays all files from all subdirectories without folders.

- make it possible to have multiple entries in "search for" and "replace
with" box, so that complex renaming(replacing) tasks could be done in one go

That is possible in the current Version 6.53:
You can separate the items with "|"
So search for: ä|ö|ü
replace with: ae|oe|ue
will rename all german umlauts.

- make a dropdown box which saves the entries in the "search for" and
"replace with" box

That is already possible in the current Version 6.53 too. [F2] in the MRT opens the "save/load settings" drop down list.

I am positivelly impressed by your answer and by abilities of Total Commander.

As an alternative you can use the search dialog (Alt-F7), which as an added bonus allows you to list files in preselected folder only, while Ctrl-B lists EVERY file in the current folder as well as in any of its subfolders. It all depends on your needs, but I prefer using Alt-F7 because of its flexibility.
