With that new mode used, would accept a list of item names (the ones your script The only way to handle it via XYplorer would be a change to the rename script command itself. I personally don't find this so messy but your mileage may vary ofc. WM_COPYDATA and how much data it can actually handle txt files because I've never tested the limitations Start the external tool (code it.), let it read both files, display it in the same wayĪs the rename preview does it. txt files, one with the original names, another with There is no way to use the script command rename with more than one pattern either. Original names + names after the operation is not a problem but you'd need an additionalĬonfirmation window afterwards -> messy. There is no way to achieve this (in a non-messy way).
Everything else in XYplorer so far has been so much cleaner. I have seen also in the forums that you can push the name list out to an AutoIT script but again that's the kind of messy I was hoping to avoid. I found myself constantly relying on sample code and forums (yes I see the irony of asking for help here). In DO it was possible but again the scripts were long and messy and too many languages supported with not enough documentation for any of them. In Multi Commander I ended up writing my own popup confirmation window but it was messy, ugly and no undo. I can use a Foreach loop to do the rename but again the preview is missing. But I can't find any way to "rename selected files using clipboard with preview". I was thinking maybe I could retrieve a list of selected filenames, do all the manipulations using regex's on the string list and then write them back. But I also want to preview the outcome of all the rename operations before proceeding. eg replace some chars, following by proper case, followed by some key acronym capitalization adjustments, followed by partial filename copy to clipboard. But I'm looking for a way to do multiple custom rename operations on say a list of TV show names. I just put them sequentially in a script but then I have to hunt for the changed filenames in the list to see if there was any unexpected behavior.
If I have a script with a common set of custom rename operations, it's no problem at all if I don't need a preview window. I think the point here is very much the Rename Preview functionality. A lot of my little one liner scripts are no longer required because functions are already supported natively (tab manipulation, settings toggling), and I'm also finding that all my scripts are much shorter (30%-70%) because things are handled better (selection errors, rename conflicts, missing network paths, etc) natively.
New XYplorer user here but I was scripting in Directory Opus for 4 years and Multi Commander for about 1 year before this.
