March 8th, 2011· New batch modes: Copy and move
· In addition to renaming files and folders Advanced Renamer can now also copy and move the items. The new folder is written in the edit field next to the batch mode drop down box. Tags can be used to customize the folder name for each item in the list individually. The New Path column can be used to validate the new path name before starting the batch process. Any folder in the path will be automatically created when the file is copied or moved.
· Selective rename
· Choose only to rename some of the files in the list by manipulating the checkbox next to the files. By default all files will be marked for batch processing but you can choose which ones you want to rename. Use the associated functions in the right click menu to use this feature more effectively.
· Set file timestamps from pattern in filename or directory name
· If you have files with dates or timestamps in the file name you want copied to the created or modified attribute of the file Advanced Renamer can now recognize the values based on a pattern. The Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min, and Sec tags can be used here to match values in the file or parent folder name.
· Context menu "Add to Advanced Renamer" in Windows Explorer
· A Windows Explorer context menu has been added to make it easier to add files and folders to the list. Right click on one or more items in Explorer and select "Add to Advanced Renamer" to add the items to the list.
· Note: This feature has to be enabled in the settings dialog.
· New tag: Substr
· A new advanced tag called Substr has been introduced. The tag can be used to insert a piece of the original filename into the new file name. The tag takes two parameters, an index and a count. Example: Filename is "Hello my friend" and the tag is configured Substr:7:2 the result will yield "my".
· Menu item for removing non ID3 and non image files from the list
· In addition to the option of removing files with errors you can now also remove all files without ID3 tag or image information.
· Dragging folders from explorer onto Advanced Renamer will display add choices
· When dragging files from Windows Explorer into Advanced Renamer, there is no doubt how the items should be added. But when dragging folders into the list there is two ways these folders can be added, either as the files in the folders or the actual folders for folder rename. When adding the folders as files you get the choice of including subfolders and to supply a filename mask.
· This dialog will also show when adding folders through the Windows Explorer context menu.
· Stay current with new updates
· When Advanced Renamer starts it will automatically check for upgrades online and display a message if a new version is available. It will not take focus away from the current task but simply just state the fact that a new version can be downloaded.
· Save to CSV file
· If you want to save all the data shown in the grid to a CSV you can use this new feature. You will then be able to work with the file or folder data in another program like Microsoft Excel.
