I am a newbie. I am working on a project that requires file names that are very similar except for the leading part. I was successfully replacing the leading part of multiple files names. I did this a few times but now, BRU is not working. I am using the latest version: 2,7,1,3 with Win8 Enterprise, 64bit.
Example:
name1-feature1-rating.pdf
name1-feature2-rating.xlxs
name1-feature3-rating.txt
must change to :
name2-feature1-rating.pdf
name2-feature2-rating.xlxs
name2-feature3-rating.txt
With these filenames highlighted in the upper right corner box:
1) in the Replace box I typed: name1
2) in the With box I typed: name2
3) clicked on R box
The rows under the New Name column were changing as I typed name2. Then when I clicked on R, the rows under the Name column and the rows under New Name column updated with name1 changing to name2
This worked as expected a few times. But now clicking on R clears the values typed into the Relace and With boxes and no changes are made to the files names.
This is the only feature I have tried. I was very careful not to change the other default values. I uninstalled BRU and reinstalled it with no improvement.
Is this a bug? Or am I an idiot? (I hope I am an idiot )
BTW, I am very impressed with this utility when it is working.
