[Bug] Batch Rename: Create Folders When Specifying \

Post by WirlyWirly »

From the #121 Batch Rename dialogue, it would be great if we could specify folder breaks when providing a \ in the input field.

That way, patterns like this would create the folder Photos if it doesn't already exists and then move the files into it...

Code: Select all

Photos\<#001> - *
This feature is already present for in-line renames, but not from this dialogue when renaming in bulk.

This has always worked in the past, it's a recent regression, likely caused by this change:

viewtopic.php?p=234545#p234545

So you could probably temp change your invalid char to a \ if you need to use this feature urgently.

Thanks Jupe, I didn't see that discussion and I could have sworn this was never a thing. Guess I must have not used it in a while :oops:

I unchecked Auto-replace invalid characters and it's working as expected. It does indeed seem to be an unintended affect from that update.
