Missing a key detail here. 
What is the button or rename preset that you're running there?
Directory Opus: 13.14.2 Build 9217 x64
OS: 10.0 Pro 22H2 Build 19045.5247
Hardware: Intel Core i7-1065G7 • 16GB DDR4 RAMExperiencing similar rename preset problem with latest update. Seems like presets have been lost. For example, Underscores to Spaces drops the underscore, but does not replace it with a space.
Is the space still there in the replacement string? Can't really tell from the screenshot.
yes, the space character is present
The space is still in Underscores to Spaces.orp
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rename_preset case="none" ignoreext="yes" type="findrep" version="13">
<from>_</from>
<to> </to>
</rename_preset>
but gets suppressed in the dialog:
Same.
The space has disapeared, it allows you to enter a new one (or more) but after saving it is still not working.
Trying other presets like Dashes to Spaces, Periods to Spaces, Spaces to Periods, etc. do not work, either. The ORP files are accurate; the Rename dialog seems to not appropriately recognize and execute them.
Also, when executing a rename and then resetting it, the Rename dialog acts erratically, randomly clearing the file name in question.

Not sure about others, but the rename preset problems present since 12.14.1 are still an issue for me in 13.14.6
Please advise if I missed anything or on any progress, thanks.
I think the problem was that a 'Find and Replace' preset when loaded was not true to a Replace space character even though the preset was.
The instance documented above, Underscores to Spaces, is now working here.
Is it also working for you ?
You also note Spaces to Periods.
I didn't test that when this problem cropped up.
But at a quick check, this seems to be working here.
Is it not working there ?
Thanks, seems to be working with the presets. I have a problem with a rename script and will start another thread for assistance.
the blank character works again.
for other activities that worked perfectly until 13.13.9,
there are still some problems until 13.14.6.
either they are not executed or only partially executed.
even if they are executed correctly, they cause other problems.
Example:
in a lister (flatview grouped, all selected), when renaming from “large”
to “all small” some old directories were changed.
the old date was set to the current date.
but not all are affected. apparently only those containing an Ă–,Ă„,Ăś!
Do you mean conversion to all lowercase?
Works fine here. Or is my test case not suitable?
before:
after:
Directory Opus 13.14.6.0 build 9224 english
Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.3624 on AMD64
not the directories themselves, but the files they contain.
This concerns some directories that were created between 2010 and 2023.
the rename command was executed via the switch.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rename_preset case="alllower" group="Größen" type="regexp" version="12">
<from>(.*)</from>
<to>\1</to>
</rename_preset>
Can you reproduce the bug on your system? I can't on mine.
confirmed with 13.14.6
not yet noticed with 13.14.7
but there was a windows 10 update yesterday! (same day as dopus)
if it happens again it will be reported.
