Multirenametool: Directories and files

Post by *samot »

- create dir c:\temp\test
- create dir c:\temp\test2
- create file c:\temp\test\test.txt
- create file c:\temp\test2\test2.txt

- search for files / dirs with "test" in c:\temp
- work with those files (feed to listbox)
- select all
- call MultiRename Tool (Strg-M)
- try to replace "test" by "work"

-> it renames first the both directories and can no longer rename the files therefore because there is no longer a c:\temp\test\test.txt (it is now c:\temp\work\test.txt)

Solution: eighter rename the files before the directories or apply the renamestuff to the list of files in the rename list too .

This isn't a bug - the MRT just does what you tell it to do, rename in the order the files are shown. You can change the sort order yourself to avoid such problems.
