There should be a standard dialog for adding the directory if it is
 missing.

If it were designed to more easily accommodate adding files and
 directories, yes. However, it doesn't seem to be, to me. Also,
 doesn't that leave only one page, making it not a wizard anymore?

I was thinking either as that, or just as a modal dialog. I prefer
 it as a modal dialog, because you don't really have cause to stay
 in it after its action completes, and you shouldn't just be
 leaving it for a while. I wish it could be modal to just one tab.
 And, on that note, I need to start a new thread.

Yes.

Yes.

I think it should be KDE API thing. When something tries to open
directory and this directory doesn't exist dialog should be:
 Directory '%1' doesn't exist! Do you want to create it? [Create]
 [Cancel]

As an extra feature (IMO unnecessary, just to show off ;) could be
[Create with name...]

I think Files tab isn't necessary in wizard mode. Files can be
rearranged also in last tab.

I discovered one more feature - context menu in last tab:

a) if default action for double click is 'Rename manually' this
 should be the first position in context menu.
b) because you can preview graphic files (and other) with context
 menu IMO Files tab in wizard mode is redundant. This way you can
 reduce number of tabs to 2 in 'newbie' mode.

Maybe as KPart similar to kfind?

Another thing: in Actions menu there is 'Rename with krename',
 should be 'Rename with KRename'.

And one more:
Numbering - it should start with 1, 0 is geeky thing - 'normal'
 users don't grok it.

I'll second that. I've been using it for a couple months.

 lot of it out.

Again, a fairly major issue. A program like this needs to accept
 some minor user errors.

Yes. This page is very opaque about what it does.

There should be a setting to make this automatic, and this option
 should be configurable. I personally want it off, but it should
 default to on.

Definitely clean up the wizard. The purpose of the wizard is to be
 easy to use. The plugins page should be gone, and maybe reduce the
 other pages a bit, if possible.

    p)
    The Help button appears to do nothing.
    If there is no help just remove the button.




And, not a comment on this version, but an idea for the future:

If this can be cleaned up a bit more, this would be nice to sort of
 work into Konqueror. When I have multiple files selected, I should
 have the Rename option replaced with Rename Multiple and be able
 to load up some GUI to do it with. Currently, this is a little too
 complex for the average user, so it would need some changes.

NULL of all:

Really nice app :)

=46irst of all:

1. Page
   a)
   In download section there are no immediate links to download
 sections in description. Have to go to the panel part. Irritating.

   b)
   In Features part features are in blue. Usually this color is
 reserved for links. Avoid using it - especially in lists it is
 confusing.

2. Program

(Note, this is not always about usability, some may be "just" bugs)

   a)
   When opening first time advanced view I don't see whole main
 area and , had to resize window to see it all. Problem existed in
 File and Filename tabs.
   The same in some Command plugins (Permissions). Situation can be
 only worse with localizations...

   b)
   File tab in advanced view - Sort button: I don't see current
 choice. Is [  Sort  ]   Should be:   Sort: [Ascending]   or [Sort
 Ascending]

   c)
   File tab in adv. view - Preview of images: Should be aligned,
 all file names should begin in the same disctance from left side,
 plus small margin between images

   d)
   Order of 'main' buttons in advanced view - is: Cancel, Finish,
 Help. Should be: Help, Finish, Cancel.
   Hmm. Looks like a bug. In wizard mode order is OK.

   e)
   Filename tab - Functions... dialog doesn't use kstdguiitems for
 Add, Close buttons.

   F)
   WHAT I MOST HATE IN LINUX PROGRAMS - Directory doesn't exist.
 [OK]

   Make offer to create one!

   kdelibs thing?

   BTW. Isn't consensus 'real' directories are now known as
 folders? (wording in Destination tab)

   g)
   Progress - dialog: Close button isn't kstdguiitem, should be on
 the right side.


And, hmm, how to say it... Program doesn't work ^_^. Ah. I see. In
destination tab I specified dir as "~/st/ren", without / at the end
 and files were renamed to reffilename. Clear bug, it should be
 more tolerant for such things.

Also when I choose Rename Unprocessed Files Again... it doesn't
 work. (with Processed Files it works)

   h)
   In plugins part should be short explanation: This plugin adds
 support for belowmentioned tokens to renaming (or similar).

   i)
   Undo actions/scripts should be made automatically, not as an
 extra option.

   j)
   OGG info plugin (and other music formats) - shouldn't it be
   standardized across KDE? All mmedia apps using renaming features
   should use the same format for renaming files if possible.

   k)
   Similar thing for image formats. Why not use/adjust ImageMagick
   format of comments?

   l)
   Is in wizard mode Plugins step necessary, for 99% of not Power
 Users wont use it and I understand all commands are available
 through Functions...

   m)
   In wizard mode should be Easy Mode... triggered by default? This
 is the most complicated part and not PU should be faced with Easy
 Mode immediately.

   n)
   Why Finish button in two modes has two icons?

   o)
   More tooltips like this for Easy Mode... are always welcome.


m.

ps. Really good app. I wish I had it two days ago...

[Krename-users] FASD project: Online survey launched

[Benno L. <ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I
kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The
questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to
complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the
motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage
in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that
a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms.
This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved
individuals and the conditions of production of these two development
models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of
Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under
http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please
see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_de.html for registration to this

Re: [Krename-users] Krename 2.9.4 RPM's for Fedora Core - I ALMOST got it :)

[Dominik S. <dom...@we...>]

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your hard work on this problem. I think the rpm you have created is 
good enough for release, as I also do not think does "normal" users will face 
your problem with the Keramik style. It is still a strange problem, which I 
do not understand.
By the way, does keramik work, if you start krename as follows: " krename 
--style=keramik" ?

Thank you very much for your work. I think we can get into release candidate 
state soon.

[Krename-users] Krename 2.9.4 RPM's for Fedora Core - I ALMOST got it :)

[Steven P. U. <ul...@fa...>]

Hello, Dom :)
Like the subject line says, I ALMOST got an RPM of Krename 2.9.4 that I
am satisfied with.  I won't get in to detail right now, but I did the
following:
1. I now have a separate user account that I log into just to make RPM's
for Krename.  For some reason, I don't have issues with the other
applications that I make RPM's for (only for my own use)  This account
will always only have the most recent stable version of KDE and QT that
is available for installation with RPM's.
2. For my main account, I have KDE compiled from the CVS, and QT from
TrollTech's source tarball.  This is my main account, because I don't
like what Red Hat/Fedora has done to KDE :(

The only problem is this (actually, it's not too suprising):
The RPM for Krename 2.9.4 that I made successfully, installs perfectly
under both KDE 3.1.4 and KDE from CVS HEAD.  It runs perfectly on both
KDE 3.1.4 and KDE from CVS HEAD.  The problem is this: I use the same
window style in both version of KDE that I am running, but under KDE
from CVS, my RPM won't let Krename respect the fact that I use the
Keramik window style under KDE from CVS.  Like I said, I'm not
completely shocked.  But this should't be an issue with someone who is
using an official stable release of KDE.  Of course, the Krename "Help"
menu says this under "About KRename": KRename 2.9.4 (Using KDE 3.1.4-4
Red Hat), which, of course, is not the version of KDE that I am running.

Like I said, the RPM should work with all stable versions of KDE 3.* 
Just to be sure, I'm going to upgrade my stable installation of KDE to
3.2.2 in a few minutes, try the 3.1.4 RPM to see how that works, and
then build a new RPM under 3.2.2, just to see how that one behaves. 
I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything :)

Hello, Dom :)

I contacted the three lists listed above just like I said I would, and I
have been in contact with the gentleman who is the developer and/or
maintainer of libqt-addons.  Unless you say different, I'm planning on
cc'ing my correspondence with him, or anyone else for that matter, to
you.

I just got done installing kde 3.2.2 from RPM's, just for the purpose of
giving the libqt-addons dude the benefit of the doubt concerning what he
said to me in his initial answer to me.  Unfortunately, now I can't even
build an RPM for Krename, much less see if it will install.

The error message that I get is as follows:

kmylistview.o(.gnu.linkonce.r._ZTV15KMyListViewItem+0x10): undefined reference to `KListViewItem::insertItem(QListViewItem*)'
kmylistview.o(.gnu.linkonce.r._ZTV15KMyListViewItem+0x14): undefined reference to `KListViewItem::takeItem(QListViewItem*)'

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.27521 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.27521 (%build)

I have no idea what this means :)  It's kind of funny, though: just a
few hours ago, I built another Krename 2.9.4 RPM while still running KDE
from CVS HEAD, and it built fine.  Still won't install though :(

I had one more thought, though:

What version of KDE are you running, and what version of QT are you
running?  Are these installed from Source, RPM, DEB, or the like?  The
reason I ask is that I made the interesting discovery a few hours ago
that even though the last three versions of KDE are a relatively(?)
major release (3.2) and two "dot" releases (3.2.1 and 3.2.2), the
version of QT changed immediately after 3.2 (KDE 3.2 used QT 3.2.3)  KDE
3.2.1 and 3.2.2 both use QT 3.3.1

In list form, it looks like this:

KDE 3.2		QT 3.2.3
KDE 3.2.1	QT 3.3.1
KDE 3.2.2	QT 3.3.1

The reason I ask is because the guy on the kde-devel list said I can't
compile an RPM under kdelibs from CVS HEAD and install it on a non-CVS
HEAD system.  So, would the versions of QT/KDE that you are running make
any difference?  Just a stab in the dark (a well intentioned one, though
:)), but could the setup that you make the Krename tarballs on affect my
success in making RPM's for Krename?  Not that it SHOULD be a problem,
and not that your setup is wrong, but could it have an effect?

Anyway, I'll keep you posted with what I find out.

Thanks for your information. It seems like rpm adds a wrong dependency to the 
rpm, as the rpm works even if some dependecies are missing. 
I had a similar problem once with a SuSE rpm of mine. Don't know why such 
problem exist and as far as I know, using --nodeps is the best solution (even 
if it is no good one). 

At least we can provide now Fedora RPMs again. We just have to tell people how 
to install them. But rpm which needs to be installed using the --nodeps 
option are still better as no rpms or forcing everyone to compile from 
source.

Hello, Dom :)
I just got done emailing Kde-devel, the RPM list and I also sent a
followup to the QT list.  I did learn something new: if I run "rpm -Uvh"
with the "--nodeps" flag, the Krename 2.9.4 RPM (and I would imagine,
the 2.9.3 RPM as well) installs, and then runs, just fine.  But like I
just got done saying on three different mailing lists, doing that on a
regular basis kind of defeats the purpose of a package management system

Anyway, have a Great Day :)

[Krename-users] New info(?) on Krename 2.9.4 Fedora RPM issues

[Steven P. U. <ul...@fa...>]

Hello, Dom :)
Since, despite my reputation, I am not exactly a guru, I really don't
know if this means anything, but here goes:
While I was driving home from lunch at a Chinese buffet, I thought of
the fact that an RPM contains, in the "CONTENTS.cpio" file, the exact
structure that an application will have when it is installed on someones
filesystem, it occured to me to copy the contents of "CONTENTS.cpio"
into my home directory, and see what would happen.  The result was that
Krename 2.9.4 runs perfectly from the RPM that I made for Fedora Core. 
The one that won't install.
My thought was, does this at least locate where the problem is, since
the RPM built fine (I think), Krename 2.9.4 runs perfectly on our system
when I install it from source, and it also runs perfectly when I just
copy the contents of the RPM (without installing) to a directory of my
choosing?
Anyway, if you have any ideas, let me know.
Later tonight, I'm going to contact the KDE-devel, Fedora-Core and RPM
lists with this issue :)

Have a Great Day :)

[Krename-users] KRename 2.9.4 released

[Dominik S. <dom...@we...>]

Hi folks,

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.

Re: [Krename-users] crash on load

Hi,

The best solution would be to compile the source code. Could you please 
describe the problems you had during compiling? Posting error messages would 
be a great help.

[Krename-users] crash on load

[John P. <jpe...@wo...>]

I loaded krename 2.8.5 on my system but it will not start.  I saw a couple of 
posts in the forum.  But I could not follow the replies.

I am running a Fedora Core 1 which I install about two weeks ago.  Before that 
I was running RedHat 7.3 and using krename 2.4.x, which has work flawlessly 
for me.

The error message is as follows:

krename: relocation error: krename: undefined symbol: 
_ZN11KPushButton10setIconSetERK8QIconSet


This is package that I installed:
215416 Apr  8 17:18 krename-2.8.5-1rhfc1.i386.rpm

I am running:
Linux 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl #1 Fri Nov 7 11:30:56 EST 2003 athlon
KDE 3.1.4-4 Red Hat

I could not compile the source package; I have not done much of that.  I could 
not compile the tarball.  Nor could I compile 2.9.3

I am not currently subscribed to this mailing list..

Thank you for any help and insight that you can provide.  

I find the krename is an essential tool.
