Multiple Renaming—confusion

Post by Just Visiting »

How do you use the renaming feature? I was shocked to see this renaming feature pop up during an Everything search when I wanted to perform a traditional rename of multiple files.

For instance, I want to create a traditional rename of multiple files by adding (1), (2), (3) etc. in a consecutive format. Additionally, the GUI made no mention this feature was coming from Everything. It would be valuable if the GUI had Everything Rename instead of simply Rename. And additionally, there doesn't seem to be a way to disable this feature.

Multi-file renaming basics


I want to create a traditional rename of multiple files by adding (1), (2), (3) etc. in a consecutive format.
In Everything 1.5:

Set the old format to:
%1.%2

Set the new format to:
new name ($number:).%2


I will consider an option to disable the Everything multi-file renamer.
Thanks for the suggestion.
