Re: SS & Renamer-Plugin Enhancements
Another (mis)feature of renamer plugin is a "Only once in each name" checkbox.
It is checked by default, wich I'd like to be just opposite.
The most frequent use case of Renamer for me is to replave all "_" or "." in long names to spaces.
Generally I have to do it twice. I always forget the bloody checkbox every time

I am sorry, but I think that actual settings is more safe then the settings in your proposal. When you forgot uncheck "Only once in each name" checkbox now, then you need only uncheck the checkbox and repeat your action and everything will be fine.Artur Zinatullin wrote:Another (mis)feature of renamer plugin is a "Only once in each name" checkbox.

But with other settings when you forgot the result can be disasterous... For example if we try to replace "2" with "" here:
Sam2-01.jpg => Sam-01.jpg
Sam2-02.jpg => Sam-0.jpg
Sam2-03.jpg => Sam-03.jpg
Sam2-04.jpg => Sam-04.jpg
Sam2-05.jpg => Sam-05.jpg
Sam2-06.jpg => Sam-06.jpg
Sam2-07.jpg => Sam-07.jpg

Well, I guess, dont't want safety. I want usability.jis wrote: I am sorry, but I think that actual settings is more safe then the settings in your proposal.
After all, I have a preview pane. And it doesn't work if resulting names duplicate, so I don't loose files.
And We have undo too.
Re: SS & Renamer-Plugin Enhancements
I see, you just need the opposite . But there are the bunch of another people which are happy with actual settings. So the solution can be compromise:Artur Zinatullin wrote:Well, I guess, dont't want safety.

1) The Renamer plugin will remember your last settings.
2) The Renamer plugin will offer Configuration dialog...

Let the user to choose.
The Batch Renamer is great very true...but why the heck is the default (!!) for file time leading to invalid names?? : is not allowed. I'd prefer - over _ or . as separator. It would be fine to be able to set this separator in plugins configuration. Thanks, GeorgStefan wrote:thank you for your graet plugin.
$(HH:mm:ss) for $(Time:HH:mm:ss)

Explanation: the string after `Time:' is a time format specification, you can write there anything you like. For list of possible values see description of `lpFormat' at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... s_6at0.asp .
The default value comes from your locale settings in your operating system. As most nations have colons inside the time specification it might be usefull to implement some post-processing of these locale dependent values returned by OS. I have this fix alerady at my todo list.
