If you backed up your system with Time Machine, you simply need to find renames.sqlite and overwrite the new one that is there.
Close NameChanger
In Finder, navigate to: Users/<yourname>/library/application support/NameChanger
Open Time Machine, and that folder will open as well. Find an earlier backup.
Restore Renames.sqlite and overwrite the one that is there.
Exit Time Machine, Open NameChanger
You'll see your past history showing your saved Renaming Operations too.
1) Quit NameChanger if it’s running.
2) Navigate to NameChanger’s support folder: It’s located at /Users/<YOUR_USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/NameChanger. If you don’t see Library listed in Finder, click the “Go” menu, then hold down the Option key and Library will appear mid-way down the list, clicking it will bring you to your Library folder)
3) Delete Renames.sqlite, Renames.sqlite-shm and Renames.sqlite-wal
4) There should be a number of old backup files (e.g. RenamesSQL_2015-12-17_17-23-54.backup). Try to find the latest one from before the date you updated to 3.1.0. Duplicate that backup file and rename it “Renames.sqlite” without the quotes.
4) Launch NameChanger 3.1.0
I just want to publicly thank the developer for being so responsive and I hope he continues to update and refine this very useful app.
