Additional sort
Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2024 9:06 pmI had a situation where I wanted to change some filenames in a folder of about 1000 files.
This was a folder of German titles and the specific changes I wanted was:
Only about 50 or so titles for each case were effected. The problem is that not all '[aou]e' should be changed as there are cases where '[aou]e' is correct. I listed some exceptions. Looking through all files, since they change color, and deselecting was cumbersome and I am sure error prone.
So what I thought would help and I am suggesting here if the files with name change could be sorted so they are grouped either first or last (or toggled) and better yet sorted by the full changed word so identical changes would fall together.
Thanks for your consideration.

- Code: Select all
change ae to ä but not e. g. Michael
change oe to ö but not e. g. Joe
change ue to ü but not e. g. Bauer, Duett
