Rename a folder using the name of the parent folder

Post by Furballvie »

If this is possible, what is the correct command?
I tried %FOLDERPATH% but that did not work ...
Thank you for your help :)

Btw - an example would be: Parent Folder "Auntie June", Subfolder "Birthday Pix" - desired new name for Subfolder "Auntie June Birthday Pix"

Not possible with Everything 1.4.

With Everything 1.5, to add the parent name to your filename:
  • Select the file/folder and press Shift + F2.
  • Change the old format to:
    %1
  • Change the new format to:
    $parent-name: %1
  • Review the newly generated filename and click OK.
Advanced Rename
