Feature request: Option to recurse dir in multi-rename tool

[Seikatsu]

This is for massive renaming. Sometimes, I select multiple directories, and I would like it to recurse these directories and rename the files under all of the directories.

I would like to congratulate the author on making such a good program, especially with the great regular expression support for the multi-rename tool in addition to the other cool options.

P.S. How come archives don't have unicode support? And how do I set it up so that I don't need to press Enter when I want to rename things using Shift+F6. And how do I turn off the confirmation for moving/copying when I am doing these operations through dragging the file(s)/folder(s) with the mouse.

I found out how to turn off the confirmation for moving/copying.

MRT: Well, currently you'll have to live with Ctrl-B and then MRT, but that takes all the subdirs, not just the selected ones. (Maybe a search in selected for <empty>?
)

You'd have to ask the archiver authors.
But seriously, Christian cannot keep checking if ACE 2.04alpha5prerelease already has or has not unicode support to implement it.

And how do I set it up so that I don't need to press Enter when I want to rename things using Shift+F6.

When do you have to press Enter?

If you want to multi-rename subdirs and/or files in subdirs try the following:
Use search function (you can use Advanced tab/Attributes to search only for Directories or to exclude directories (unchecked option directory)

Then use "Feed to listbox", mark file that interest you and run multi rename tool (Ctrl+M in TC >=6.0, in older versions it was Ctrl+T)

Additionally you can try expressions like eg.
[P] for Parent directory name, possible also [P1-10]
[G] Parent directory of parent directory

[1-] - full absolute path
eg [1-10] - first ten characters of absolute path
if you use replace to replace ":" and "\' then you can do almost everything with file names. Especially with RegEx
TC RULES!!!

Concerning pressing Enter after Shift+F6 - it is just confirmation that what you typed is OK. It tells the program that you have finished typing
But seriously - you probably want confirmation by mouse click. I am against, pressing enter is not a problem, especially if you have to use keyboard to press Shift+F6 and to type new name. Mouse click is like an ESC key - cancells what you typed.

For those who got interested in copying/moving whithout confirmation and cannot find options - hint:
go to menu Configuration/Options, tab Misc, option Drag&Drop -deselect it

The first tip is a very good workaround! But it is still slow, so I am wondering if I can script it. And the second tip is very informative. Both are really helpful. Thanks.
