Thanks leo, I've gone through those 2 sections, mostly I had read before, but now with a fine tooth comb, and I still can't work it out. 😊

There are a few mentions about moving to the folder and renaming that new folder, like the one I coded into a toolbar button above. Also a few threads about renaming parent folders from child names. But nothing about renaming a existing parent folder from child's fileinfo.

I'm not saying this information is not there, just that I can not find it, or I am misunderstanding what it is I should be looking at.

FAQ, closest threads I can find: [Add the current date and time to a file's name](https://resource.dopus.com/t/add-the-current-date-and-time-to-a-files-name/1328/1)

And rename presets, is this thread,, [Sort music files and go to the target folder](https://resource.dopus.com/t/sort-music-files-and-go-to-the-target-folder/9469/1) which is also moving, but maybe i can mod it to rename just the parent folder path so it moves into and replaces the old parent folder? Is that the way I should be trying?

Sorry probably a really dumb simple question. 😊
