Rename Special recursively?

Post by Pauleduc »

Is it possible to do a "rename special -> search and replace" recursively for all files within all subfolders?

1.) "rename special -> xyz" works with all selected files.
2.) to select files from sub-folders too, use first "Edit > Show All Items In Branch"

Even if XY isn't 100% perfect for your needs, it should satisfy most all of them enough to make this offer worthwhile for you.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
