Renamer - Renames only one file

Post by CodeBuster »

I recently upgraded from last Salamander 2.52 beta version to final version including Renamer Plugin V 1.1.
The rename preview shows only one file (Mask: *.*) although many files should match that mask in the directory in question.
By excecuting the rename command only that file get's renamed. This feature (BATCH rename) worked ok in at least one of the beta version (unfortunately I don't know which ones because I worked my way through all of the betas and removed them).I checked a number of directorys and masks, the result is always 0 files (if the mask does not math) or exactly 1 file. Any clue what is going wrong?

When you create a few files in some working directory:
C:\Test\file1.txt
C:\Test\file2.txt
C:\Test\file3.txt
then select all files in Salamander panel (Ctrl+A) and start Plugins > Renamer > Batch Rename (Ctrl+Shift+R) command, are all files displayed in the Preview?

Please show us screenshot of your files in Salamander panel and screenshot of the Renamer window. (PNG files could be attached to posts.)

Perhaps In the past, focus been on a directory, & Include subdirectories had been selected in Renamer, then you would have seen your expected file list (of files in subdirectories of the directory which had focus).

In your case, had you been at D:\ with focus on the \log\ directory.
