New in
version 1.56.0
|
|
| +New |
Made things faster a bit here and
there.
|
| +New |
Added a minimizer button for panels
(only visible in expert mode. Top right corner of some panels). So
you can make the big panels smaller without changing to basic
mode.
|
| +New |
The columns of the grid are movable now. So you can place them in the sequence you like.
|
| +New |
Clicking right button when above some
insert fields opens a context menu for insert functions.
|
| *Change |
The exe is not compressed anymore. Some
users had complaints.

New in
version 1.55.0
|
|
| +New |
Made things faster (noticeable with a
huge number of files).
|
| +New |
Needs less memory (noticeable with a
huge number of files).
|
| +New |
The executable rename.exe
is compressed now (upx.tsx.org) (uncompresses automatically in memory whenever
you start it), so the file is smaller (fits better onto a
diskette).
|
| +New |
Hints (the yellow help boxes when your
mouse points over something) are displayed for a longer time now.
|
| +New |
New replace function Trim.
This deletes spaces to the left and to the right of the replaced
letters. So Replace "at" by
"@" in "Masters at work"
would result in "Masters@work"
instead of "Masters @ work"
|
| +New |
Insert functions which insert letters
(like <n>, <e>,
<p>, <i>, <4>...)
will insert uppercase letters now, if typed <nu>,
<eu>, <iu>, <4u>
etc
Lowercase is <nl>,
<el>, <il>, <4l>
etc
|
| +New |
Insert functions <n>,
<e>,
<4>, <i> now also work with negative numbers, meaning
that you can insert the xxx LAST letters of a file's name,
extension, separator, 4DOS description. Thus <n-1> would
insert the last letter, <n-2> second to the last,
<n-3--1> the last three letters, <n-1--3> the last
three letters, but in reversed order, <n3--2> letters from
the third letter on to the letter before the last one. See examples.
|
| +New |
Added a few more Destruct filename to
64 chars automaticities, so filenames can get even
shorter. |
| +New |
Shorten
filename to 64 letters now also works for filenames
SHORTER than 64 letters. So you can use this function to shorten
filenames depending upon your settings in the menu Filename
restrictions in other Operating Systems. If you set Maximum
file length to, say, 20 letters you can use Shorten
filename now.
|
+New
+New |
I added 2 new functions for shortening
file names larger than 64 letters: Kill
vowels and
No doubles.
Kill vowels is quite destructive, it will
erase all 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' leaving you with just the
consonants. The function No doubles will erase every double letter, so
'Mandy Moore'
would become 'Mandy More'.
|
| +New |
Sort by length of name-extension
separator.
When is
this important? Sometimes you have files with different numbering
systems. "file01.jpg", "file02.jpg",
"file03.jpg" on the one hand, and
"file00001.jpg", "file00002.jpg",
"file00003.jpg" on the other. With this new sort
function you can sort them independentely. See examples |
| +New |
Sort by length of extension. |
| +New |
Sort by length of filename
(name+extension). |
| +New |
The Start button is red now, so you can
see it better, especially when the panels are moved moved because
of resizing of
the window. |
| *Change |
Now "d" sorts by date, not by
date&time anymore. So if you want to sort by date&time,
use "dt" |
|
|

New in version
1.43.0
|
|
| +New |
It is possible to Browse the Network
now. Just double click the blue file
panel. I know this is not an optimal solution, but it is better than not having this option at
all. I will enhance it later. |
| +New |
Start button
displays now how many
letters will be deleted through the functions Destruct to 64
chars, Shorten to 64 chars,
NoSpaceBetweenLetters |
| +New |
Added more Destruct filename to
64 chars automaticities, like "does not" will
become "doesn't", "12 years old" becomes
"12yro". |
| +New |
Easy Move. Drag the window by clicking
on any free area of the window instead by clicking on the title
bar. Double click on any free area and the window maximizes. |
| +New |
& (number justification) works with
file length now. So inserting "<l&>" will insert a
justified file length. |
| +New |
You can insert numbers and format them
as IP addresses, so instead of "1" it would be
"000.000.000.001". You may insert it as hex values,
decimal values, octal values etc. Just check as IP and
there you go. Works with inserting functions, too. So instead of
the file size <s> the file size AS IP ADRESS is inserted.
Cool. |
| +New |
If you don't like 1-4a Rename
checking for updates online then turn it off by starting
1-4a Rename with /noc (no online check). |

New in
version 1.3.0
|
|
| +New |
Mathematical Renumber. Can
add a value to an existing number. Did I say add? Not only.
Multiply, subtract, power. |
| +New |
Per default 1-4a rename starts in
Basic mode with reduced functionality. You may switch to
Expert
mode with F2 and switch back by pressing F2 again. New users had problems
with the overwhelming amounts of functions. Also in Basic mode,
the directory tree is bigger, so it's easier to browse. |
| +New |
Check for naming compatibility in other file systems
(DOS 8.3 uppercase, ISO 9660 etc). Now you can check whether
your files will be accessible in other operating systems like DOS. |
| +New |
Progressbar has gradient colors
now. |
| +New |
1-4a rename adapts more smoothly to the
actual window size. This is better for smaller screen sizes, like
800x600 |
| +New |
Insert function <t> (time) |
| +New |
Insert function <c> (special
characters) |
| +New |
Sort by reversed name |
| +New |
Sort by reversed extension |
| +New |
Sort by first number in name |
| +New |
Sort by first number in extension |
| *Change |
Now you don't differentiate
name-extension separators by ">", but by
"|". The same applies to the "Excluding Files" filter. |

Version 1.00.0
|
|
| First
release |
|
Note about version numbering X.yy.zz
Whenever I implement a feature yy
is increased by 1. So version 1.45 would become 1.46. If this
feature is a big one then it would increase by 2 or more. Thus you
can tell roughly how many things have changed from version to
version.
zz is always 0 except for the case
where I would have to bugfix something without adding any new
feature. So version 1.45.0 would become 1.45.2 if I fixed two
things.
I don't believe in beta versions (isn't every program a beta
version?) I test my versions and I don't publish any program which is likely to contain bugs. |

page then you can link directly to a grafic which shows the
current file version. Please read this. |
