KRename 3.0.0 stable release
Krename is a very powerful batch file renamer for KDE3 which can rename a list of files based on a set of expressions. It can copy/move the files to another directory or simply rename the input files. Krename supports many conversion operations.
Changes from KRename 2.8.x to KRename 3.0.0
===========================================
KIO-Slave Support:
KRename supports now the KIO-Slave technology of KDE. As a reason
it is no problem for KRename to rename files on a remote server with fish://,
to rename files on your ftp server or to rename your samba shares
using the smb:// io-slave.
DCOP Scripting:
This is the first version of KRename which can be fully controlled
from the commandline. Additional to the the commandline options,
there is now a powerful DCOP interface. Using DCOP you can create
scripts for many tasks which do use KRename. You can even use
KRename's parser allone, without the other parts of KRename.
Usabillity:
Thanks to the kde-usabillity mailinglist, we made lot's of
useabillity improvements, resulting in the easiest to use KRename
ever. The most notably change is the new beginners/wizard mode, which is
much easier to use compared to the more complex, but more
powerful, tabbed mode. User visible strings where changed in
favour if easier to understand ones, button orders where changed
to the KDE default, dialog layouts where optimized and much more...
A few examples:
-Every renaming action can be undone, because of the new auto-undo
feature, which works even for remote files.
-A powerful beginners mode, which allows you to construct new
filenames without having to know KRenames syntax.
-Plugins got easier, too. Most of them do not have to be enabled
before you can use them. All KFilePlugins are instantly available
to use.
-The annyoing "Do you really want to quit KRename?" message box
was removed.
-KRename will ask now to create not existing directories instead
of complaining.
-We fixed the enabled/disabled state of many buttons
-There is now only one button to add files, directories and
directory names
-The file extension configuration got much easier, as it can be
done from the main dialog.
-The preferences dialog got cleaned up.
KRename Commands:
A few new tokens where also introduced to access different
properties of a file, i.e. [user], [group], [modificationdate],
[creationdate] and [accessdate].
Another new token is the [length] token, returning the length of
the current filename. This token is very powerful as you can also
substract numbers from this value (e.g.: [length-2]) and use the
result to construct a new sub string [2-[length-2]].
The sub string token got more powerful, too. It can not only
create sub strings of the input filename, but also of all other
strings (e.g. the title of an mp3 file): [2-8{[mp3title]}].
All tokens returning numbers can format those numbers now. An
example is the [mp3tracknumber] command which returns "7" in our
case, but we need "07" to get a good looking filename. Easy with
the new KRename feature, just use [##mp3tracknumber] as token and
you'll get "07" returned.
Speed - KRename is faster:
We were able to improve the speed of KRename in many smaller
cases. For example the loading of file preview is much faster now
compared to previous versions. Sorting of files uses a fater
algorithm now. And a few other small things where improved. In
future versions we also want to address the long loading times of
KRename. The startup time can be greatly reduced if you disable
the loading of KDE's File Plugins (which takes about 80% of
KRename's startup time).
Bugs:
Yes - even KRename contained some bugs ;-).
And we fixed them. If you had problems with one of them in
previous releases, you might want to give KRename a try again:
-Regular expressions are finally working correctly
-Fixed the [date] token
-Fixed creation of directories, containing characters like '&' or
'%', during renaming
-Fixed the main window size, scrollbars are now always visible
And that's not all of course! KRename got many detail fixes and smaller
improvements - far to many to mention them all in this ChangeLog.

KRename 2.9.4
Please get the latest KRename release, while it's hot on the server!
This release fixes many bugs, the [length-2] token works now correctly,
annoying error messages have been removed....
But there are some news on the feature front, too. A great new "Easy Mode" for
new users. You can create filenames only by using a graphical dialog and
without having to know KRename's commands.
This release is also a Call for Translations. We will go in to release
candidate soon, so the translations should get ready.
