EXCELENT App - Being a Mac user only since 2009 I was really looking for such a complete renamer - my ability of using regular expressions are still growing but I am quite happy about the App.
- I would like to ask something, if possible and make at the same time an observation:
Using it on an iMac (big screen) is a complete experience but I tried the same version (even the same dmg installer @ the same Mac OSX on MacBook Air with 11' screen and it did not show the bottom to rename - the "Tag Audio File" section.
This bottom exists at the right extreme corner of the App window and is visible only on the big iMac screen side by side with the "clean" bottom to refresh the tags adjustments - it simply does not show - I have changed the position of the Dock so I could expand the App window at its maximum size or even expanded it to the whole screen an nothing worked until now. Thanks in advance!!
Maybe the requirements are not correct. Version 1.5.6 crashes on startup on 10.6.8 and I think it's because the developer embedded java 1.7.0, not compatible with SL afaik.
I've posted in the support forums, but as I appear to be the very first poster, thought I'd report here too.
I love this app, the best free option, imho.
The only one that allows me to copy a list of filenames to a text editor, prepare the names there, copy the new names to clipboard, and then rename from clipboard. With a good editor, this is usually the most efficient way (sometimes the only way) to rename a bunch of files that don't share a common pattern.
I took a half star off because I still need to copy original filenames from Path Finder, not within this utility.
