Personally I would use a feature that would allow you to re-order the renaming processes. In my case I often process files in the following order running the rename command 3 separate times. It would be great if I could re-order the processes so I could just run it once. Not sure how hard that is to add.
1 - Append Folder Name (9)
2- Remove (5)
2 - Remove (5) again but a bit different
3 - Filters (12) work fine at the end
