Hallgren:
SkyFrontier: So how does my proposal differ from yours exactly? In as few words as possible, ok?
It doesn't. In a hurry among tasks and I tried to be as visual as possible - and made things worse! Will revise later, but it seems that Don has already made the magic so no problem. Sorry and thanks for both of you!

Nice! we got this
after 3 years? Definitely like it better this way. Still better would be all 3 toggles.

Yeah, but my question stands: "When do you rename an extension? Once a year maybe?"

Actually never. Your are right, I'll take that back.

Regarding
v9.30.0024 - 2010-07-30 18:43
* List | Inline Rename. Now it's a three-step circle when you
repeatedly press F2 on a filename with extension.
1) select, extension excluded
2) select, extension included
3) unselect, caret to end
I'd like to question if this was intended, since
Code: Select all
Exclude Extensions on Rename TICKED:
Name > Name+ext > Caret to the end.
Code: Select all
Exclude Extensions on Rename UNticked:
Name+ext > Caret to the end > Name
- wouldn't it be natural to expect:
Name+ext > Name > THEN Caret to the end?

I don't think there are that many expectations here since nobody else has this feature. The way I did it was the most economic to code, so in a way the
universe expected it like this.

I was just intrigued. Had to confirm the purpose. Thanks!
