Mass renaming via Shift+F6 (cm_RenameOnly) bug

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Mass renaming via Shift+F6 (cm_RenameOnly) bug

Post by *Jungle »

Sorry if it had already been disscussed.

Imagine you have the following:

Code: Select all

[DIR]
  [subdir1]
    1_file1.Mp3
    1_file2.Mp3
  [subdir2]
    2_file1.Mp3
    2_file2.Mp3
Press Ctrl+B (branch view), select all files, Press Shift+F6, remove ending wildcard, type mp3 and press OK. Extensions will be changed to mp3, but all files will be moved to DIR:

Code: Select all

[DIR]
  [subdir1]
  [subdir2]
  1_file1.mp3
  1_file2.mp3
  2_file1.mp3
  2_file2.mp3

Well, that's why we use the MRT for that. ;)

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

MRT is a powerful tool, but described above example is too easy to use MRT i think. I always use Shift+F6 to change file extension. I find it easier and faster.

Well, F6 and Shift+F6 is Rename/Move. It will move the files at the same time as renaming them. When you do not specify a path, the path in the window title will be used, so the files are moved to that directory...
