Any way to have explorer like multiple file renaming?

Help & Support
1

Basically - I need to be able to highlight several files, and just do what it does in explorer - right click, rename, and then it auto-renames the files with (1) or (2), onward....I don't always need the powerful renaming. Is there any way to re-enable or find that functionality in Directory Opus?

Have a look at this thread in Buttons and Toolbars.

This command is probably the kind of thing you want:

Rename AUTORENAME REGEXP PATTERN=".*(\.[^.]+)" TO="{dlgstring|Enter new name:}\1"

It will ask you for a name and then change all selected files to use that name, preserving their current extensions and automatically adding a number to the name to make each file unique.

You can put it on a context menu, button or hotkey as desired.

In the next update (12.10.3) we'll add an option to make Opus work the same way as Explorer in this respect (without needing a script).
