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

=46irst, I agreed with everything that Mikolaj said, although I cut a
 lot of it out.

Definitely Add This!

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.
