Bulk Rename Utility

Just reporting a possible bug that I've seen in 2.7.x.x up until 3.0.0.1. I hope it wasn't previously reported, sorry in advance if it was.

BRU application does not load the Filters (12) > Subfolders setting saved in the .bru file (aka, your saved favorites file) when ran from the context menu. The .bru file does properly save the setting on line 77 as below, and when opening the .bru file directly from within the application it enable the Subfolder option if saved, but when opening BRU application from the context menu it fails to load the setting at all.

Code: Select all

Subfolders=1

(also, hiding the Sub. Directory column keeps re-appearing even though it was turned off)

Looks like this is a feature and not a bug

From manual on page 22:

For reasons of performance, if you use the Bulk Rename Here right-click function then the Sub-folders flag will be unticked, regardless of its stored setting. This is to prevent situations where you choose a high-level folder (e.g. C:\) without realising that a recursive directory search is about to be performed. The note regarding Favourites above also applies here.

Possible to over-ride this feature? Or allow when the right-click feature isn't done at such a high-level folder?
