Hope it helps

Oh, right, yes in your case it adds a suffix number, and I think it is because there is already a file with the same name : the very file you're renaming !!

In Windows, files "foobar", "FooBar" and "FOOBAR" are the same, even though you can rename it to change the case.

So the problem here is that XY sees a duplicates with itself (file that is being renamed) while it shouldn't, obviously. Happens when you try to rename a file "readme.txt" to "ReadMe.txt" using Batch Rename as well.

And that indeed would actually be a little bug I believe!

Unrelated sidenote regarding what's been said before: Another nice thing would be the support of multi-line scripts in Catalog ! Right now I have to either use a single-line script, but it's not that fun to work on it, or use a file but for often used scripts, I'm assuming that means a lot of disk access to read the script file every time, which might not be so good...

I'm no longer XYplorer bug virgin!

Hope to hear admin's thoughts on this about fixing perhaps? Cheers in advance

PS: While waiting for the bugfix which will, I'm sure, be there soon, you can use this instead on your script, should work just fine (as long as the file you rename as an extension) :

Code: Select all

 rename re, "^(.*)\.(.*)$>$name.$2";

How would I integrate it into my existing script?

Here, there you go, this should work as expected :

Yes, works perfectly! Thanks a bunch. It's still a little bug though

Yep, just fixed it. Good little find.
