[Gprename-users] Re : Bug in svn revision 9 on FC4

[Lacrocivious A. <alt...@ya...>]

Version 10 appears to have fixed this selection
problem. In tests today only those files selected for
renaming were actually renamed. Thank you!

By the way, the Perl version already installed on the
FC4 box before adding perl-Gtk2 and perl-Glib is
perl-5.8.6-24 (perl.i386).

I have a handful of observations:

(1) Apart from reading .../.svn/entries I don't see a
way to discover which version is currently installed.

(2) I was in error when I claimed revision 9 worked on
FC6. I had forgotten to run gprename-install.sh after
the revision 9 svn checkout. Also I should learn to
refer to GPRename 2.0, not 1.7.

(3) Personal preference: I almost never run any
application full-screen, and it is one of my pet
hatreds that I dislike any program opening
full-screen, *especially* when I have previously
resized it not to be. Perhaps an option to remember
previous state, or one to open to a smaller window
should remembering state be difficult with Gtk, would
be useful.

(4) Though I am trying to get used to the 'always
live' preview state, I must say that while it is nice
to see changes on the fly, I find the *always* live
nature disconcerting, because it affects view of every
file in the directory. Might this be changed to an
on/off toggle, or set to display only for the file(s)
selected?

(5) A default opening directory, or an 'open in last
directory' option may be useful.

(6) For whatever reason, load time for GPRename 2.0 is
much reduced over previous versions.

(7) Having enjoyed the ride during cvs/svn type
development paths before, I am always aware of the
possibility that programs under development may crash
with horrible collateral damage, but your caution
about using beta software is appreciated ;-)
