Total Commander

hi,

when i use the super multi-rename tool (thank for it by the way), i always use it for many operations in the line.

exemple :
-first i need to replace " _ " by " - "
-secondly replace "[" by ")"
-and replace ")" by "]"

so, each time i need to open, enter by pattern, do it, close it, reselect, redo another pattern, do it, close it, reselect...

do you understand the boring thing ?
off course, TC keep in memory the pattern, but it was not attached to replace pattern at all ....

Maybe you could imagine a too side multiple selected-item list display (and not the simple selected combo list)...
not easy to code, i can imagine, but very usefull in the end....

have a good day

I understand that you want synchronous search-replace fields, and perhaps it may be achieved by remembering replace item index for every search item.

But maybe simultaneous search-replace will fit your needs somehow? Just search for " _ |[|]" and replace with " - |(|)" (note pipes between corresponding patterns), and TC will do three replacements in a single operation.

Sometimes you just have to perfome several steps,
because if you first replace ] by ), and then ) by ],
you will undo the first part again.



For other situations, you may want to try the multiple search&replace feature, like

search : A|B|C
replace: 1|2|3


Additionally tip: you don't have to close MRT between operations, just click the reload button.

And then, there are better tool to perform multiple renaming task in one go... e.g. Batch, VBS or PoSh...

thanks, i didn't know i could perform that in that way.
by the way i done a mistake in my example, it was :

exemple :
-first i need to replace " _ " by " - "
-secondly replace "[" by "("
-and replace "]" by ")"
