1) In download section there are no immediate links to=20
download =A0sections in description. Have to go to the panel part.=20
Irritating.
=3D=3D> FIXED 2004-05-07

2) =A0In Features part features are in blue. Usually this color=20
is=A0reserved for links. Avoid using it - especially in lists it is=20
confusing.
=3D=3D> FIXED 2004-05-07

Program:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

1) When opening first time advanced view I don't see whole main area=20
and , had to resize window to see it all. Problem existed in File=20
and Filename tabs. =A0The same in some Command plugins (Permissions).=20
Situation can be only worse with localizations...

2) File tab in advanced view - Sort button: I don't see current=20
choice. Is [ =A0Sort =A0] =A0 Should be: =A0 Sort: [Ascending] =A0 or=20
[Sort =A0Ascending]

3) File tab in adv. view - Preview of images: Should be aligned, =20
all file names should begin in the same disctance from left side,
plus small margin between images
=3D=3D> FIXED 2004-05-09

4) =A0Order of 'main' buttons in advanced view - is: Cancel, Finish,=20
Help. Should be: Help, Finish, Cancel. =A0Hmm. Looks like a bug. In=20
wizard mode order is OK.
=3D=3D> FIXED 2004-05-09

5) =A0Filename tab - Functions... dialog doesn't use kstdguiitems=20
for=A0Add, Close buttons.

6) =A0WHAT I MOST HATE IN LINUX PROGRAMS - Directory doesn't=20
exist. =A0[OK] =A0Make offer to create one! =A0kdelibs thing? =A0BTW. Isn't=
=20
consensus 'real' directories are now known as folders? (wording in=20
Destination tab)
=3D=3D> FIXED 2004-05-09

7) Progress - dialog: Close button isn't kstdguiitem, should be on=20
the right side.  And, hmm, how to say it... Program doesn't work=20
^_^. Ah. I see. In destination tab I specified dir as "~/st/ren",=20
without / at the end =A0and files were renamed to reffilename. Clear=20
bug, it should be more tolerant for such things.
=3D=3D> FIXED 2004-05-09

8) Also when I choose Rename Unprocessed Files Again... it doesn't=20
work. (with Processed Files it works)
=3D=3D> FIXED 2004-05-09

9) In plugins part should be short explanat  This plugin adds
=A0support for belowmentioned tokens to renaming (or similar).

10) Undo actions/scripts should be made automatically, not as=20
an=A0extra option. By Default with a undo script, but setting=20

11) OGG info plugin (and other music formats) - shouldn't it be=20
standardized across KDE? All media apps using renaming features=20
should use the same format for renaming files if possible.

12) =A0Similar thing for image formats. Why not use/adjust=20
ImageMagick=A0format of comments?
=3D=3D> NOT POSSIBLE (Krename has nothing to do with the =20
ImageMagick=A0syntax)

13) =A0Is in wizard mode Plugins step necessary, for 99% of not=20
Power=A0Users wont use it and I understand all commands are available
=A0through Functions...=20
 Definitely clean up the wizard. The purpose of the wizard is to  be=20
easy to use. The plugins page should be gone, and maybe reduce the=20
other pages a bit, if possible. I think Files tab isn't necessary=20
in wizard mode. Files can be rearranged also in last tab.

14) context menu in last tab:  if default action for double click is=20
'Rename manually' this should be the first position in context=20
menu.=20
=3D=3D> FIXED 2004-05-09

15) because you can preview graphic files (and other) with=20
context=A0menu IMO Files tab in wizard mode is redundant. This way=20
you can reduce number of tabs to 2 in 'newbie' mode.

16) In wizard mode should be Easy Mode... triggered by default? This=20
is the most complicated part and not PU should be faced with Easy=20
Mode immediately.

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

18) =A0More tooltips like this for Easy Mode... are always welcome.

19) Definitely clean up the wizard. The purpose of the wizard is to=20
be easy to use. The plugins page should be gone, and maybe reduce=20
the =A0other pages a bit, if possible.

20 )  The Help button appears to do nothing. If there is no help=20
just remove the button.=20

21) Numbering - it should start with 1, 0 is geeky thing - 'normal'=20
users don't grok it.

22) Although I spoke of an idea for the future, I was restless this=20
evening and decided to do a mockup of KRename in a single window.

23) horizontal scrollbar not initially visible - only after resizing=20
window
=3D=3D> SEE 1)

24) - Add Files / Add Directory / Rename Directory.
Inconsistent naming convention: add vs rename. They finally do the
same, namely adding files/folders.

25) Add Files / Add Directory
Add Files makes it possible to mark several items, Add Directory
doesn't. Of course "Add directory" implies that only one directory=20
may be added. Nonetheless there's no obvious way to add several=20
directories at the same time.

26) Add Files
By marking directories the contents of directories is added. The
=A0same functionality is offered by "Add Directory".
Suggestion: Drop "Add Directory"

27) Suggestion: Drop "Add Directory"
=3D=3D> SEE 26)

28) Remove Files=20
Also removes selected directories. One might think that=20
"Remove =A0Files" removes all the files whilst "Remove all" removes=20
all entries. There's no indication that "Remove Files" is only=20
valid for selected entries.
Suggestion: Rename "Remove Files" to e.g "Remove Selected" or the=20
like.

29) I doubt "Trash" and its contents should be a valid target for=20
renaming.

30) Displaying the number of files is nice, but what's its=20
purpose? =A0Why would anyone check the number of files added: "Hell,=20
there's one file/directory too many, I have to reduce the number of =20
entries" or "I wanted to add 50, now there are 52 entries"? I'm not=20
sure whether his feedback makes sense.

31) Clicking "Preview" offers the option "Display name". When=20
unchecking "Display name" and after that unchecking and checking=20
"Preview" again "Display name" is checked. Maybe the=20
setting =A0should be remembered.

32) Tooltip in "Move selected" ends with "." Tooltips "Move up" /=20
"Move down" don't. It just stroke my mind...

33) Clicking "Next" is possible though there are no files selected.=20

34) Text Label says "Files", but also directories are listed.

35) Offering a (greyed) "< Back" button in the initial window is=20
somewhat irritating. It should not appear until "Next >" was=20
hit =A0once.
