Adding multiple renames to one preset

Help & Support
1

Up front, very sorry should the below have been asked before.
Vainly searched for a previous thread on this.

Suggestion
To perform multiple renames without knowledge of scripting.
How about adding a feature that more or less 'adds' multiple rename actions to a single preset?

For example:
I wish to replace underscores with a space
then I like to adjust the name from all caps to capitalize 1st word of the name

Say I wish to save the first action and then add the 2nd action and save that to a kind of 'combined' preset.

To illustratie I used another file-renamer, did the above two actions and saved them in a 1 preset (within the other file-renamer) and it would look like this:

I would now only need to double click the preset to perform the actions within it.

Presets can't call other presets, but you could make a toolbar button/menu/hotkey which runs several presets one after the other.

That's easier than scripting, but means you don't get the preview and other functionality of the Rename dialog, of course.

Thanks.
In the above example, the filerenamer does nothing more than simply run the presets in the folder containing the presets. One after the other.
Likely they do not call each other. Once the 1st one is done, then the 2nd one is performed.

This is what I mean.

Just meant as an idea. No disrespect.
Obviously I prefer to work with Opus, instead of launching a separate program having to click-click select drive, folder...
and after done, return to Opus.

Sorry for the bump after 5 years, but this is a problem that I'd like to solve, as I have a series of presets I run on certain folders repeatedly. @Leo I'd be grateful if you could post an example button running multiple presets. I don't need the preview option.

Thank you! I really need to play around with this stuff more. I also realized that I can build them out just using the editor helpers. Thanks for the pointers! Hopefully this will help someone else.
