Multi-rename - down arrow doesn't move back in the history

Love your program, it's the best thing since sliced bread!


When using Multi-rename and there is a history in the "Rename filemask: Filename" field

the down arrow doesn't move back in the history.

Please use Ctrl+Down, it was an intentional change to prevent accidental losing of entered text.

Perfect! Thank you for the fix and explanation.

Or use Alt+Down to open the dropdown combobox.

I need to add a rider to this issue, in so far as I'm consistently finding that TC852a's Multi-rename Tool doesn't invoke the top history entry when Alt-downarrow reveals the history list - upon first use; that is when Ctrl-M is first used after loading TC.
The history item is applied in the realtime rename panel only with some traversing of the history list: an up & down-arrow movement from the keyboard, for example, 'latches' the top history item, and the rename panel items change.

Thereafter, after executing a rename function once, the MrT applies an entry at the top of its history list, when subsequently invoked - as expected.

However, I'm fairly reliably under the impression that after a while, TC and the MrT lose memory of prior invokation, and the application of the first history item is no longer applied, once again.
Keyboard movement is necessary to stimulate use of the history list.

Enter, on the history item, doesn't latch, either - upon first use.

Behaviour contrary to expectation.
