SRename is an advanced Rename CLI command. Features include:


- 57 CLI options

- Compatible with the OS Rename command

- Easy to use command interface

- Total control over recursion

- Wildcard and multiple filename support

- Selector - Action keyword separation that allows building
  specialized functions

- Can perform intelligent renumbering with automatic checking for
  filename clashes

- Unlimited number-basename format support for renumbering

- Supports long filenames on filesystems that allow them

- Can also perform numbering and can modify filename comments



Changes in this version:


- Added numbering after a user's request. It is performed by using a hash (#)
  followed by an unsigned integer as an argument with TO or INSERT.

- Added the SELECTED option to report which filenames or comments will be
  selected for renaming according to the keywords given. It is not guaranteed
  that the selected filenames will be changed.

- Added the SIMULATE option to show what the renamed filenames will look like.
  No actual renaming is done. Note that the results will not be entirely
  accurate because as no real renaming is done, the filesystem's effect on the
  filenames will not be shown.

- Optimized the output by not displaying at all filenames that will not be
  renamed because they don't match the selector or other criteria, and also
  made the output more readable by printing empty lines between directories.

- Allowed the usage of the CONV8+3 action together with TO or DELETE.

- Changed the name of NODIROUT (NDO) to NOPROGRESS (NOP). When this option is
  used now the paths of the renamed files are also displayed, instead of just
  the usual rename message.

- Added a warning message that any selectors will be ignored if no matching
  action is given and a destination path is given.

- The SRename documentation is from now only in HTML format.
