#19 GPrename unable to accept multiple file parameters

[Alistair George]

Hi I submitted this wrongly to ubuntu-bugs:
Behaviour is accurately reported elsewhere:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=222665

I find exactly the same; multiselect files from nemo/bulk rename and a random file from anywhere is displayed. Also, if in nemo, action is described as gprename only, gui is instantiated, then self closes. action must be as gprename %1 or gprename %F (parameter needed).
With any parameter the behaviour is the same; no files selected are shown.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

I have uninstalled and replaced with krename which works perfectly with nemo with no parameters necessary.
Thanks, Alistair.

Hi, I really don't understand the problem you are describing. Even the linuxmint forum. I don't know what you are trying to achieve. But also I don't use Nemo.

Note that the %1 or %F probably comes from the installer from the person who created the package which is not me. This is not something that I have coded.

Note also, that while I still use gprename, I don't maintain it anymore. It is coded in GTK-Perl which I totally hate now. I would like to code a new renamer but don't have much time.
