As I said, I'm not an expert (yet) of SVN, I don't know if what
I did was the right thing to do.  But, on this page here :
https://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=40094
Which is the GPRename page about SVN, it says :

"This project's SourceForge.net Subversion repository can be 
checked out through SVN with the following instruction set :"
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gprename gprename

This command will create the gprename folder and put everything 
from SVN in it.

Also, I don't think you should use the svn command with the path 
/usr/local, you should first use it in /home/user then run the install 
command from /home/user/gprename, of course nothing stops you from
calling the checkout with /usr/local/gprename but it's not meant to
be used that way ;-)

Who knows why there isn't many participants, probably
because of a few reasons, like there isn't that much
people using linux, I don't even know if GPRename could
be working on Windows or OS X.  That'll be something to
look at when GPRename 2.0 is final.  Probably also because
GPRename isn't in an RPM format, nor in the Portage tree of
Gentoo (.ebuild), nor in the Debian release (.deb) or
the fact that gtk-perl is kind of deprecated which the last
release of GPRename is using.

One interesting page to look at is the statistics of gprename :
https://sourceforge.net/project/stats/?group_id=40094&ugn=gprename
About 80 web page hits and 2-3 downloads per day.

It'll be interesting to see if it ever raise when GPRename 2.0
will be out :-)

Me too, in the searches I've seen, KRename showed up first,
but I really hated it, it might be very powerful, but it's
sure not user-friendly.  I think it's aimed for a developer,
but not a end-user.  I don't even remember seeing another
one except krename and gprename, needless to say on Windows
I found and tested about 10 of them, there is so many :-)


If you have any other suggestions for gprename, please be my
guest!
