Again a few minor updates for the next version, aka GPRename 2.1 : Modified the Help/About window, no more stuff about the license in it, just the version, credits and some links. I replaced all instances of folder/folders to directory/directories to have a standard. Both are perfectly fine and can be used to define the same thing, but directory yields 600,000,000 results compare to 100,000,000 for folders from google.com ;-) I changed back the font to : nothing, well, what the user has choosen from his window manager, which is what all software should do, let the user choose. But, for the tree and the list of files/directories, this is coded directly into GPRename and it is in courier new. The default button in the log button is now the OK one the version number is now removed from the Title window all window are now non-modal This is, of course, all minor, but I'm following the "GNOME Human Interface Guidelines" at http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/index.html It's a document telling software developper how to properly code so that your software follow certain standards. And last but not least, GPRename is now part of Wikipedia at : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gprename I also added it to the list at the bottom at : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_renaming __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The font change is a nice improvement! While the Courier font is ideal for filenames, it is also true that it looked crude for the rest of the UI. One thing I have noticed through several revisions now is that I am not able to select multiple ranges. That is, I can select one range with shift-click, but if I try to select another range with ctrl-shift-click, only the file at the cursor position is highlighted, rather than the intended second range. After the first shift-click range is selected, additional files may only be added or subtracted using single-file ctrl-click selection. If it is possible to use the same sort of multiple-range file selections as in, say, Konqueror, it would be a notable improvement. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Want to start your own business?

That feature about the selection is so true, it is completely missing. Though it is not in my power to fix it right away unfortunately ;) This is something missing from GTK2-Perl, as much as I could find on google, no one complained about it, you might be the first one to actually say it. I've filled a Feature Request on GTK2-Perl for it at : https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1645629&group_id=64773&atid=508621 If the GTK2-Perl ever add this feature, GPRename will have it. For curiosity, I tried doing this with Nautilus, my file manager in Gnome and this feature is missing in it, but, of course, that's because all Gnome applications are coded in GTK2-Perl. Which is different from Konqueror, that one looks like it's in C++ : http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/developer-faq.html#q1.2 --- Lacrocivious Acrophosist <alt...@ya...> a écrit : > The font change is a nice improvement!
