Download                  Documentation                  Write Plugin






Notes:



• Some Total Commander plugins are included in the archive for operational and presentational purposes (AnyTag, FileX, Images, ShellDetails, WdHash). For more info see their respective pages.
  
• Script includes ready to use module TCwdx.ahk which can be used to operate with Total Commander content plugins.
  
• Total Commander users can add MRS to the menu with %UL parameter. TC post is here.


ChangeLog

v1.5c 19/02/2010

! Fixed issue with content plugins that have - in the name (i.e. jpg-comment.wdx)
+ Optimization: Improved speed of editor preview a lot.


v1.5b

+ TCWdx module improved:

+ Unicode support for TC content plugins - module will first try W export, then A export, then it will return error.
+ It cashes function adresses for faster subsequent calls. HTML manual for external use.
* Removed dependency on folder names to be equal to content plugins names. When TC ini file is not present, module now searches recursively for all wdx files in the \plugins folder.

* Range will no longer flicker in "select range" inputbox. Inputbox is wider.
+ Added TC content plugin cputil.wdx which allows to find file names with characters from a different code page, and rename them using conversion table.
+ ShellDetails.wdx updated to Unicode version.


v1.5a


+ Unicode support in GUI and AHK Plugins. Total Commander plugins are still not unicode (because they still mostly don't support it).
+ Resizable window (window placement is saved in ini)
+ Rename operation will create directory if it doesn't exist (__meta__)
+ If you hold CTRL while using drag&drop or shell extension to add single folder, MRS will add its files instead.
* Preset Save button and DropDown replaced with single editable ComboBox. To save preset write its desired name and press ENTER. To load preset select it from the list or type its name.
* You don't need AHK anymore to run MRS. AHKL is included in the archive, renamed to MRS.exe so you don't have to install it. MRS.ahk itself is renamed to AutoHotKey.ini.
+ Optimization: 10% faster renaming.



v1.1


* ComboX, HLink modules updated. This will fix ComboX issue where plugin buttons were drawn over it.
+ CTRL + A hotkey added to select all files in the list view.
+ Little gui improvements.
! Bugfix: Script freezing, mostly on Win7 & Vista.
+ New AHK plugin Sub: Extracts substring from file name from str1 up to the str2.

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.

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

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:

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

[TOR user]

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.
