Re: [Krename-users] KRename 4.0.5 released

[<adm...@gm...>]

Many thanks for the font plugin return!
My fonts are now easy to read one again.
One small request for improvement... in tab 4.Filename, when you click  
the  "insert special functions" button, the dialog that pops up should  
reopen with the last used plugin, and not with "default" plugin.  when  
using the plugins it seems natural to do several operations using the same  
plugin.  or!!! :D instead of being able to pick one plugin function, leave  
the dialog open until the user is satisfied with the  order of the meta  
data in to be renamed file(s).

Also the list of the plugins isn't alpha sorted when opened.  just a small  
touch to make it easier for users.

Oh, totally overlooked this. Thank you for pointing this out. I added a title 
now to the dialog itself.

Actually, I was looking more at the dialog window title when I made that
comment. "Dialog" is a bit... generic.  :-)  Maybe change that to Custom
Sort or something like that, in line with the find and replace dialog.

As for the text labels, I think "Sort Order" and something like Key,
Component, Criteria, etc. should be fine.  I agree that there's no need to
get too wordy in there.

Well, I am still wondering how to find better labels without adding to much 
text to the dialog. I attached the current version as a screenshot. Not much

Oh, yes it means "descending" in German. Must be my setup that one translated 
item sneaked in.

Cheers,

PS: I added drag and drop for reordering the items onto my TODO list.

Re: [Krename-users] New sorting modes in KRename

[Jared <lis...@le...>]

Oh, there is one other thing I just thought about, not related to your
changes but related to sorting in general.  It'd be nice to be able to
reorder items using drag-and-drop.  Sometimes I have an item that, for
example may be stuck last but I want it to be first, and as things stand now
I have to highlight that item and repeatedly click the Up button.  It'd be
handy to be able to just drag it from the bottom to the top of the list.

Not sure how difficult something like that would be to implement, but I
wouldn't mind throwing it on the wishlist.  :-)

Re: [Krename-users] New sorting modes in KRename

[Jared <lis...@le...>]

I haven't built the SVN version to test it, but from what you described in
your post it sounds pretty slick.  Only two things stick out:

1. The sort dialog labels are quite generic.  I assume you plan on cleaning
that up before release, but I'm pointing it out just in case you hadn't
noticed it.

2. What is absteigend?  I'm guessing it's a non-English word, but as it's
the only one in that list it looks quite out of place.

Otherwise, looks great!

[Krename-users] New sorting modes in KRename

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

Hi,

An often requested feature in KRename  was to have more possibilities to sort 
the files before renaming. This was indeed a major limitation, as it is often 
eligible to sort files by date or some other criteria.

I implemented advanced sorting modes now in SVN and would like to get some 
feedback on this. The code is available in SVN. For more information, please 
see my blog at [0].

Cheers,
	Dominik

[Krename-users] Bug with special characters in a file when using "Insert Part of Filename..."

[TS <ete...@gm...>]

(This is with using v4.0.4)
When using "Insert Part of Filename..." under the advanced renamer,
KRename has problems with at least the following special characters
when in file names: #$[]%&*\
Instead of seeing those characters as a single character, it sees them
as two characters, such as '[' being seen as '\['. This screws up the
output names.

A couple examples using "for example [[[this is ]a test file.txt" to
illustrate the problem follows:

[$1;13] gives:
"for example \"
expected:
"for example ["

[$16-[length]] gives:
"[[this is ]a test .txt"
expected:
"this is ]a test file.txt"

This bug makes KRename useless for me at times, and it would be nice
if it was fixed. Also, bug 3018407 on the bugtracker appears to be the
same issue.

[Krename-users] KRename 4.0.4 released

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

Hi all,

KRename 4.0.4 has been released, containing many smaller improvements, a new 
PoDoFo based plugin [0] to rename files based on PDF metadata, translation 
updates and a few bugs fixes. The release can be found as usual at 
http://www.krename.net .

	Dom

Re: [Krename-users] default dot

[Jared <lis...@le...>]

I think I'm running 4.0.2 (this is on another computer).  As Adrian
said, it's nice to hear you already addressed this.

I'd still suggest taking it one step further though and changing the
default to Last instead of First.  As I meantioned in my last e-mail, I
think it's a much more common expectation that the file name extension
will begin at the last dot.  Any other dots occurring in the filename
are much more likely to be in the name itself rather than in the
extension (in fact, I can't think of any file that I've ever seen that
had a dot in the extension).  I'm certainly not suggesting that there's
no need for this feature (eg., you could have a poorly named file with a
double extension or something), but I think the default setting should
reflect the more common use case.

Anyway, I'm cool with it at least remembering the setting.  Will need to
check that out when 4.0.3 goes stable on Gentoo.  Thanks again.

Thanks for bringing this up.  I've had this issue as well, including a

[Krename-users] default dot

[Adrian D. <dus...@gm...>]

Dear list,

I use krename quite regularly for renaming my files (particularly with batch 
photos), and I always have to change that file extension starts at "Last dot" 
instead of the default "First dot".

Is there any possibility to change this default to "Last"?

Thanks in advance,
Adrian

[Krename-users] default focus

[Jared <lis...@le...>]

I have small request.  In v3.x, when I started KRename by selecting files
and using the KRename context menu entry, it'd automatically switch tot he
Filename tab and set the Template field to have keyboard focus.  This way, I
could immediately begin editing the filename pattern.

In v4.x, it still switches to the Filename tab automatically, but it does
not set focus on the Template field.  Instead, I have to remember to hit tab
twice first to focus the field or (horror!) click it with my mouse before I
can begin typing/editing.

Any chance you can restore the original behavior and focus the Template
field automatically?

Thanks!

Re: [Krename-users] Destination file names from file

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

Hi Ian,

There is no documentation for the KRename "plugin" system at the moment. But 
nontheless, I will give try to give you a small introduction here and would be 
very happy if you could create such a plugin. If you have further questions, 
please feel free to ask on this list.

First of all, the KRename plugin system is in the KDE4 version no real plugin 
system. This means that KRename can not yet load external plugins, but all 
plugins must currently be compiled directly into KRename. So, you will have to 
work with KRename trunk and add the source files for your plugin there, so that 
they will get compiled into KRename. I call it a "plugin system", because 
everything is prepared for a plugin system. Only loading of external plugins 
is missing at the moment.

A plugin in KRename must be a subclass of Plugin and you have to create the 
plugin in the class PluginLoader. There are plenty of plugins and looking on 
their source code might be helpfull to you.

There a three pluginstypes (see enum EPluginType) and I think for your case, 
the best choise would be ePluginType_Token (The difference of these types is 
how and when KRename calls the method Plugin::processFile). So you could 
provide a token like [filenameFromFile] and your plugin could return a new 
filename whenever it encouters this token from the method 
Plugin::processFile(...). KRename will do all the recognition and replacing of 
the token in brackets for you. You can also provide a small simple User 
Interface for your plugin. This can be created in the method 
Plugin::createUi(...).

I hope this will get you a first start. Hopefully the plugin system is also 
straightforward to use for you. Good Luck!

Best regards,
	Dom

Re: [Krename-users] Destination file names from file

[Ian P. <ip...@gm...>]

Thanks for the response, Dominik. I was initially using a script to do
this, but thought the drag-and-drop rearranging of files that I can do
in krename would come in handy.

I was unable to find any resources on how to create plugins for
krename; are you able to direct me to any, please?

Regards,
Ian.

Re: [Krename-users] Destination file names from file

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

Hi,

KRename can't do that at the moment. It should be pretty easy to write a 
plugin for this, though. 
But, as this task is very special, I would probably solve it using a small 
shell-script or something like that. This should be doable in less than 10 
lines of shell code.

Best regards,
	Dom

Re: [Krename-users] Destination file names from file

[Ian P. <ip...@gm...>]

Apologies, I probably over simplified the example. The source file
names are actually more easily sorted (more like xxx_2_1.dat,
xxx_2_2.dat). Any exceptions can be manually rearranged in the source
window as I don't expect there to be more than about 20-30 files at a
time anyway.
