Batch renamer - batch input please

[mindenjoy]

I am performing large data migrations and need to be able to rename many paths with a prefix. Is it possible to feed in a list of original pathnames, then feed in a list you would like to have them changed to?

i.e.
rename \\eurfiler1\apps \\eurfiler1\zzapps
rename \\eurfiler3\shared \\eurfiler3\zzshared
rename \\eurfiler6\public \\eurfiler6\zzpublic

I want to be able to perform this in one fell swoop with up to 200 pathnames.

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible using Options > Rename Full Path.
It is possible to use the "Manual mode" option in the Renamer window.

But, I would recommend you to do it in two steps: copy(or move) your directory tree using Salamander. Then rename directories using Renamer.

The internal Salamander copy/move routine is more robust (transfer speed, speed limits, time estimation, ADS support, etc).

Thanks for your prompt response.

I can only see one source path at a time though: when in Salamander, or in Batch Renamer.

In actual fact, I want to work with numerous source paths simultaneously. I just want to be able to paste in a series of source paths, then paste in a series of corresponding target paths. I don't want to copy however, I just want to rename each final child folder with a prefix.

If this is possible, can you send a screen shot of how I enter numerous source paths?

A million thanks.

I'm sorry, I see it now. It is not possible with Salamander.

I would use shell (for example from CYGWIN) for such task.

Could you consider this as a feature request?

I am currently using this program on evaluation but would definitely consider purchasing multiple licenses if this was an available feature

We are considering all requests from this forum. The key is how often is such feature requested by users.
