Many Replace/With entries

Postby Thor » Tue Sep 27, 2016 7:52 pm

I often do some renaming that involves changing many bits of the file name using the replace function.

As I can only do one replace at a time I have to do many repetitive steps.

It would have been very useful if there was the possibility to add many "Replace [ ] with [ ]" entries. This could maybe be a little popup with a list with 5-10 such replace pairs (or even a dynamic list). If filled, these entries should be persistent till next time I open the Utility. Of course, the replace/with function has to do the replacing in the given order.

Or maybe the option to add a comma separated text string with Replace/With pairs in speech marks, such as ["_", "-", " ", "-" ] (this sample would replace all underscores with hyphen, and all spaces with hyphen).

Just my two-cents to make an already brilliant tool even better...

Regards,
Thor

That's what the Character Translation feature is for, it's extremely useful and flexible once you get the gist of it.
