Keep old file and new rename in same folder

Postby overthere » Thu Jan 03, 2008 8:47 pm

As I understand it the only option to keep original files post rename is to send all renamed files to a new defined location?

I need to rename my music folders album covers from 'album name'.jpg to cover.jpg which this does nicely (Thanks Jim!) but I'd like to keep the original labeled jpgs as well

The music folders are split on band -> album hierarchies so exporting renames to one new folder isn't useful in this instance.

As it is I can get round it by having 2 copies of my media library and using sync toy to copy the differences to get both in but it just seemed a bit inelegant given the power of your software.

Thanks
Andy

Hi,

Yes, I can see that being a useful addition. There's no technical reason why BRU can't copy instead of renaming, so I'll see if this can be added.
