Replace not working

Postby norad » Fri Apr 07, 2023 7:54 am

Hi all!

Trying to replace all instances of "pdf.pdf" with ".pdf". The filter works ok and brings all files with pdf.pdf but the replace does not identify any files to replace. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

OK, I just realized that replace only looks in the file name and not the extension. Problem solved :)

Hi, there is an option in the BRU menu to consider file extensions as part of the renaming yes/no, under Renaming Options -> File/Folder Extensions ...

yes, there is. once you know to look there.

problem is that this option should NOT be there - it should be in the main form
