Sub (getinfo("CountSelected") = 0) ? "_mirNoSel" : "_mirStart" This way (as the developer) I can kill Mecaren and not need it anymore. would be nice to have that functionality in XYplorer. MecaRen and XYplorer can be complimentary. I can still do more things quickly with Mecaren such as copying all filenames to a text editor, using advanced functions there, then pasting back to MecaRen for super special renames. is very powerful when you need to do lots of cleanup on various folders quickly. and I can keep browsing and changing folders and keep doing that. Those are applied automatically in the 'rename pane' and if I want to rename files like that I just hit 'rename'. is replaced with _ automatically and that files are automatically UPPERCASE, then just browse folders. Wonder if there is a way to have more than one Search/replace strings and to have auto-replace always active in some kinda of 'edit mode'įor example with MecaRen I can set that. Good to know that XYplorer allows to move between files when renaming.Īlso, I tried out the Search/replace rename. You press F2 on the first file you want to rename (the equivalent of selecting your rename pane), and then do all the work with the keyboard only, moving the caret around like files/folders were simply text lines.

I'm happy to see that it's around on some sites and that people find it useful.Īnyway you're free to download MecaRen and try it. I put it online (freeware) but never checked what happened to it. I have a shortcut (in AutoHotKey) that opens the current folder in MecaRen for quick renaming.

I don't remember much of the code though since I have not touched it since then. I have all the source code if needed and I think it is documented (I usually document for myself, but I don't remember my coding standards from 7 years ago). I wrote MecaRen 7 years ago in Delphi/pascal. It's just a thought, so up to users to decide if this is the case. I think renaming files in XYplorer could become even easier and more useful integrating this idea into it. automatic renaming already exists in XYplorer, just need to make it always active when in 'rename mode' sync scroll already exists for folders in the 2 panes, so just need something similar when in 'edit' mode left/right panes already exist, just need to open a "Rename Pane" on the right for editing the files instead of displaying Edit Item Names already exists, just need to put it in a pane instead of a popup

Now that I'm playing more with XYplorer it occurred to me that XYplorer can integrate something similar very easily.Īll the renaming functionality is there, it's just the behavior that needs to be added. Automatic replace: you define words that get automatically replaced by others even when you change the working folder. No need to initiate the action, just rename and change folder, rename etc. Always on: You can change directories in the tree and keep renaming. The files and names scroll in a synchronized manner.Ģ. It's immediate: You edit in a pane next to the files. It's kinda like the Rename Special> Edit Item Names in XYplorer but it's better in 3 ways.ġ. The right side pane is a text editor where you can freely edit. The idea is very simple, you get to edit all files/folders in a folder in a text editor which would scroll in a synchronized way with the list of files. In 2006 I wrote a small program called MecaRen because I needed to rename files in a quick and easy way.
