Very nice, maj.

I'm not sure if this will replace the current renaming tool that I use but I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for sharing.

To my knowledge, there are no tools around that support scripting. Thats the main point of this - you want some more, write simple AHK script.

I like it
now I have to renamers to fight over when I need to mass rename. though yours is more user friendly I would say.

AHK beats Delphi, once again! Great job, old chap!

Great work. There is one thing I missed compared to Total Commander file renaming though:
Fullscreen possibility, using my 1680x1050 resolution...

Hi, majkinetor,
really great job, congratulations!
Seeing that wonderful piece of software, I don't dare publishing my own renamer tool anymore.
Allow me one suggestion:
What about a folder-choose-dialogue (plus file name filtering) to select
the file that are to be renamed?
Having "only" the drag and drop option it forces me to have a windows explorer (or something else) opened!
Would you please think about it?
Thanks again for sharing your work with us!
Regards,
Klaus

LOL. I am never filled up of your humor mate. Cheers (long time no see btw)


Resizing will eventually make it in app. For now:
Open the mrs.ahk and set new values in line 11:
gGuiHeight := 500, gGuiWidth := 730
Application will rescale automatically on next restart (becasue I planned resizing)


You can always enhance MRS instead


Mhm.... I don't know about that. Ill think about it.
The thing is that it is really ment as integration tool for your favorite file manager. In file manager you already can select files - for instance in Explorer, select with control key then use "Add to MRS" shell extension, (u must enable it first via ? menu in MRS).
Additionally, you can remove files or group of files from the list with DEL (kind of filtering).

In any basic file manager (which Explorer is not) you can quicly filter by any part of the name (even in explorer with searching then using shelle xtension again). I use TC, which has great filtering mechanism, and branch view (flat view of subfolders) is really handy for renmaing.

The benefit is only there if you use MRS per se.

majkinetor- this is excellent utility, that I find myself using daily. It quickly replaced the two other apps I was using before, and its flexibility has enabled me to "tweak it" to suit the job at hand.. in ways that weren't possible before.

I appreciate the awesome example/implementation of DropTarget too. From the thorough documentation, to inspirational implementation of plugins-- thank you for releasing such a great piece of AHK kit !!

One note about plugins.

This script is developed/designed rougly a year ago. I didn't release it so far because I wanted to test it good, and because I was lazy

In that time dyn. func. calls weren't in Lex mind yet. I could use "Call module" back then but in my tests it was multiple times slower then fast gsub calls. Now I could use dyn funcs but since plugin API is so easy/trivial, I doubt it would be of any benefit, plus you can achieve the same effect by calling the function inside subroutine and saving its result in #Res variable.

The next thing I am thinking about will be totall separation of engine and interface so you can create even more complex "MRS scripts", most notably N-degree preset manager in the form:



where Pi are MRS processing presets.

Its often needed thing, the human mind can more easily think in several steps then 1 single step. This will effectively replace the need for rename-reload-rename procedure.

Very nice renaming tool! however, unicode is not supported.
Any idea on how to solve that?

Thanks for sharing this great tool. One of the best renaming software out there (I have almost tried them all).
I used it for renaming 20200 files at once, and it did perfectly.
It could only have been better if no need to search for all the files but instead drag the parent folder filtering with *.mp3.
I mean, it would be really nice to be able to choose between adding a folder only (default behaviour), or also include files and /or subfolders inside it, making use of filters

RegEx would be also a great addition for powering Search & Replace.

I guess Unicode is supported if running Autohotkey_U, but ddlcalls must be translated for it to work.

That is already supported as far as I know, see the RE checkbox in the screenshot above.
