I sometimes need to rename hundreds of files at a time and BRU has been awesome, particularly since it is one of the few truly powerful renaming tools with Unicode support, so thank you for that!
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a way to perform a search within BRU to show only the folders or files containing the characters/phrase I am looking for, so what I do is use the standard Windows 7 search within Explorer to perform the search, select all, open BRU and drag the search results into BRU. This works great and keeps the file list in BRU limited to only the files I wish to edit.
However, I recently needed to rename a bunch of folders. I do the same as above but this time just grab the folders from the search results and drag them over.
The problem here is, BRU will not populate with any folders, only the files within those folders/subfolders. If I uncheck Files and leave only Folders and Subfolders checked, nothing at all comes up in BRU.
I know I can just start within BRU and select the whole drive, etc., but then I am looking at every folder/subfolder in the drive (over 100k folders) as opposed to the few hundred that I need to see, so it gets cumbersome.
Is there any way to have BRU view folders when dragged over from Windows Search results?
Otherwise, is there any way to search for, filter or otherwise only show the folders I wish to edit within BRU?
Thank you for your time!
