SC rename - can't prevent preview on ConvertToASCII

In a script I am performing various character replacements on a file such as:
which works fine, with no preview shown.
But when I try to use the pre-defined mode I cannot avoid / suppress the preview. For example
Code: Select all
rename "ConvertToASCII", , ,;
rename "ConvertToASCII", 0, ;
rename "ConvertToASCII", , 0;
rename "ConvertToASCII", , , 0;
and similar variations because I'm not sure if, with this mode, the preview must be actively suppressed or merely not enabled.
I have the same problem with "RemoveDiacritics".
Is there any way to avoid / suppress the preview with this mode?
Thanks

No preview window here when using these rename types...
XY version?
Attach your XYplorer.ini as XYplorer.xys

You probably have this enabled:
File | Rename Special | Preview All
but maybe that shouldn't apply to the SC anyway.

Yes - the problem is that I had "Preview All" enabled (XY 26.90.0100). And I didn't think to test in a Fresh instance, which would have led me to that.
I suggest to Don that, as with the other SC Rename choices, these special modes should allow for the preview to be skipped regardless of the GUI setting. I don't want to run without preview for manual use but the opposite is true for scripting.
Thanks for the help!

In v26.90.0102 this now works fine.
Code: Select all
rename "RemoveDiacritics"; // no preview even if GUI has those enabled for all
rename "RemoveDiacritics", ,p; // with preview when actually wanted in the script
Thanks for the immediate review and adjustment!
