try to rename

If, nevertheless, in two steps?
Command:

Code: Select all

cm_CopyNamesToClip,cm_ClearAllFiles,em_MRT_pre_Folders,cm_LoadSelectionFromClip,cm_ClearAllFolders,em_MRT_pre_Files

usercmd.ini

Code: Select all

[em_MRT_pre_Folders]
cmd=multirename pre_Folders
[em_MRT_pre_Files]
cmd=multirename pre_Files

wincmd.ini
[Rename]

Code: Select all

pre_files_name=[N]
pre_files_ext=[E]
pre_files_params=0|1|1|1
pre_Folders_name=[A]
pre_Folders_params=0|1|1|1

That would call for RegExp (which I am not strong in) but this works for your example:
Search for: .*(v1\d\.0).*(.zip|\.)
Replace with: $1$2
[x] E [x] RegEx [x] Subst.

Too complicated for the simplest operation.
There is a simpler way than what you suggested (2 steps):
1. Select files - rename with mask: Name: [N6-10], Extension: [E]
2. Select folders - rename with mask: Name: [A6-10], Extension: Empty.
For second step may [N6-10] for this example. But for universality best [A6-10].
This is the simplest solution so far. But, alas, I don't like it either.

Too complicated for the simplest operation.
The regular expression in your case is not universal, it is tied to a specific extension - zip (and text of filename "v1"), and if there are several different extensions?

Understand, I know that you can achieve results in various ways. But all the solutions you have listed are very time-consuming - that's the main thing.

I have given a way not for this particular example, but with a claim to universality.
Pre from preparation.

Thanks, and sorry, but Your solution is not very convenient
I also have to manually set 2 different masks for files and for folders.
I understand that everyone except me is satisfied with this functionality.
I just wanted the versatility of renaming folders and files with the same name (not counting the file extension, which is essentially inherent only to the file), which any archiver gives by default.

[ghisler(Author)]

How about this idea: I could add a new placeholder which tells TC to ignore dots in folder names after that position, e.g.
[N] would then contain the entire folder name, and a later coming [E] would be empty.

Very good Idea! Thank you!

The folder and file names are identical, except for the file extension (as all archivers usually do). That is, the renaming rule should also be essentially the same.
How to do it?

You can do this:
Rename mask: file name [N6-12][=tc.directory]^ Extension: [E] Search for: Yes^*|No^
Instead of N, A may be used.

[Sir_SiLvA]

You can do this:
Rename mask: file name [N6-12][=tc.directory]^ Extension: [E] Search for: Yes^*|No^
Instead of N, A may be used.

That solves

Code: Select all

Fold v11.0.0.anyInformation     (folder)
Prog v10.0.0.35798              (folder)
Fold v11.0.0.anyInformation.zip (file)
Prog v10.0.0.35798.zip          (file)

Rename (character 6 to 10) to:

Code: Select all

v11.0       (folder)
v10.0       (folder)
v11.0.zip   (file)
v10.0.zip   (file)

very beautifully but why the ^ ?

PS: mayhaps add that Yes and No have to be replaced by the words for them in the language used.

[sa16]

2Sir_SiLvA

but why the ^ ?

Just in case, he added: if yes or no come across in the file names, for example Fold v11.yes.anyInformation.
Instead of ^, you can use, for example, ;, # and the like. More reliable ;.

Yes and No have to be replaced by the words for them in the language used.

It is possible to supplement: Yes;*|No;|Ja;*|Nein;

Add.
Unfortunately, the solution is not universal: try instead of [N6-12], for example [N6-20] or [N6-].
So we are waiting for the promised decision of the author.

29.05.23 Added: Multi-rename tool: New placeholder [I] or [I1] to ignore dots in folder names ([I0] to return to normal), so [N] contains the entire folder name and [E] is empty after this point (32/64)

Only the drop-down list item for the [±] button is missing.

[Sir_SiLvA]

Only the drop-down list item for the [±] button is missing.

not confirmed neither on 32 nor 64bit.

[hi5]

not confirmed neither on 32 nor 64bit.

Just to be sure: when you click the +/- button you do see [ I ] ? (I don't)

[Fla$her]

not confirmed neither on 32 nor 64bit.

Screenshot?

If we talk about "

Code: Select all

New placeholder [I] or [I1]

" yes - there is no such item (3 items?

Code: Select all

[I] or [I1] or [I0]

)
in drop-down list of button "±".
