Hello,
what about a rename feature to replace special characters
()!$'?: ,&+-/.ŠŒŽšœžŸ¥µÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ

The above strings are an example from a php script and a lot of characters do not apply to file names, but I guess you get the idea ...

Why not just use Rename Special -> Search and Replace?

Yup, it works
But you have to remember something like this:
()!$'?: ,&+-ŠŒŽšœžŸ¥µÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýÿ>>____________SOZsozYYuAAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOOUUUUYsaaaaaaaceeeeiiiionoooooouuuuyy
Any chance to include a Rename clean file name feature?
Useful if you deal with files to upload to webservers, for example ...

XY remembers it for you. You just have to paste it one time. You could create a UDC named "Clean file name" and assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
Or is there any standard for clean name conversions? Is your example maybe the standard?

Don't know of any standard for clean filenames...
I guess that an UDC or a rename script would be fine
Thanks for your feedback
