UDC Patterns for renaming ?

[CookieMonster]

Is there a set of patterns I can follow to create a UDC to rename a batch of files, or any criteria will do ?

[TheQwerty]

The rename UDCs all act the same as their corresponding items under File > Rename Special.

You can just follow the examples given for them...

Code: Select all

::help('idh_menfile.htm#idh_menfilespecrename');

There is no pattern to add -files to folders within the UDC Batch rename. The pattern I have set for files is good, all I need is to append -files onto the folders which are included in the batch rename. Unless I'm over looking something ?

[TheQwerty]

UDC Batch Rename works on all selected list items with no regard to if they are files or folders.

[CookieMonster]

I know but I need it to prefix -files for only the folders, arghh.

[TheQwerty]

Then only select the folders.

I suppose, I wanted to do it all in one pass <sigh>!
