Multi-Rename Tool with option "copy" (instead of r

[thomasw]

Hi all!

I would like to have an additional option in the splendid Multi-Rename tool.
When this option is active the selected files are not renamed but copied with the new name on the same place (directory) or to a specified directory (additional option of the new option ).

It would be helpful to manage some special tasks I need to do regularly!

What do you think about that?
Any others who think it would be helpful?

Thanks and best regards
Thomas

Not really needed...

Just copy the files into another (sub)directory. Then rename. Then move the renamed files back to the original directory. Voila...

@elgonzo that is not a valid argument, many things are not needed but can be very useful. You don't need TC at all if you look at it like that.
I think "Copy" would be nice feature.

For the sake of future (re)searchers I link to two - somewhat related - other threads here

• Multi-rename tool - target panel shortcut - http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=37663
• Select resulting files after Multi-rename tool completed - http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=49133

What can we do to promote this goal

Thanks!

Hopefully Mr Ghisler sees these discussions and will implement these suggestions. I haven't seen any comments yet so that either means he is not interested OR is thinking about it

Replacing MRT with your own/another multi-rename-tool could be an idea. There is a AutoHotkey script that is a clone+some additional features in AutoHotkey but it hasn't been updated in a number of years, but it can read TC plugins which is of course something people would want.
