I've been able to use past versions of BRU in my own DIY desktop system, which I assembled with Intel components and in which I've used 64-bit versions of Windows: first Windows 7, then Windows 10. At the moment I'm struggling (did I say STRUGGLING?!) to get this excellent utility to work at all, but I'll try to compose another inquiry about that problem for a separate "thread."
I only want to point out here that your Help texts all seem to assume all users of this excellent utility only use this software on their Boot Partitions, where all of their software is installed, including their operating systems and their applications and utilities. You repeatedly emphasize that "recursive" scans and renaming "transactions" are dangerous, because they could wreak havoc by disrupting cross-references which are required to allow installed software to operate correctly, but is this IRRELEVANT if BRU is being used on a DATA partition, or drive, or volume where NO software is installed?
In your Help text "Recursive Scans (processing files in sub-folders)" you state:
"...if you rename a folder whilst using the recursive option, after the rename is complete the file list will be refreshed automatically. This is to prevent problems whereby the file-list becomes out of synchronization with the files on your hard drive..."
I'm not using "hard" drives (electromechanical drives) in my desktop system unit, I'm using solid state drives (SSD)! One such SSD is 100% dedicated as my Boot Partition (C:\). ALL my software's installed on that SSD. NO software is installed on G:\, which is maintained on another, separate and distinct device, another SSD, in another drive bay in my system unit. It's 100% dedicated to my DATA directory! I ONLY want to use BRU to rename folders (and sometimes files) in my DATA directory, NEVER on my Boot Partition, so my installed software is NOT at risk from any lack of synchronization which could result from changes of file names!
In the past (when I was able to use this excellent, highly-functional utility...), I used "recursive" scans of my entire data directory, in which ALL of the subfolders in that highly-branched hierarchy were scanned, "right down to the lowest level," as you say in the cited "Recursive Scans" Help text. The "resetting" precautionary process was a needless aggravation when I was using BRU on a directory (or a "volume" or a "partition"...) which contained NO installed software!
Can you equip this software with an option for disabling this precautionary "reset" feature? I'm not an IT professional, by any means. I may not even be a so-called "power user," but I'm protected from mayhem or mishap by my use of distinct physical devices (the separate SSDs for my different directories). I assume you're reluctant to put a powerful software tool into the hands of incompetent users who might use that tool carelessly, in ways which would disable their systems, but can you "give a break" to those of us who aren't vulnerable to this potential problem?
