1 Rename & 2 Search Criteria Suggestions
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 2:55 am
[I posted these in the wrong forum.]
1. 'Rename In Folder' Option
Include an option to Rename files that are selected, leaving them in their current location, with new (or modified) extensions (or names?), rather than Moving them. I like the idea of being able to a) replace, or b) prepend or c) append a string to the extension, like: *.* --> *.*_DUPES.
2. Double-Click Search Criteria Into/Out-Of Search Paths:
On the side-by-side "Search Criteria" windows, it would be nice to move folders into or out of the right hand folder by double-clicking on the desired entry. This is a common standard in moving list entries from one side-by-side window to another. It's usually quicker (to me) than the a) select the entry, then b) Right-click, then c) select the move option, paradigm.
3. Drag Folder Out-Of Search Paths:
I notice that you allow a folder to be dragged INTO the "Search Paths" window, but not OUT-OF; that would also be more efficient than the right-click, although I don't know how much trouble it would be to implement.
The last two may seem to nit-picks, but when you are quickly going through scores of folders, the extra left/right clicks start adding up, and making mistakes more likely.
Thanks,
