I'm busy doing a major re-organisation of my chaotic ebook files. Part of this is imposing a uniform naming scheme and BRU + regex has been invaluable.
I have only very recently discovered the "Group Affected Files" feature and wished I'd seen it ages ago. However, I have one niggle with this feature.
Sometimes I need to apply a very simple operation, such as replacing most underscores with spaces over a long list of files. I really need to check them, to be sure that I actually want that change - and being able to group all the affected files is very handy. So far, so good. Suppose I then need to carry out another operation on the same long list of files - say replacing a sequence "] - " with just "] " (it happens a lot!). I clear the old instructions, put in the new ones and find that BRU no longer groups the affected files. Check the Display Options->Sorting->Group Affected Files and it shows with a check against it. The only way that I have found to get a further set of files grouped is to uncheck the "Group Affected Files" and then re-check it. BRU then displays the new collection of affected files at the top of the list.
I always mean to uncheck the "Group Affected Files" option when I've finished to leave it ready for the next time. And I always forget.
It's hardly a major problem, but it is a ever-present irritation.
Is it possible to make this a persisting choice (like, say ignoring extensions) rather than an operation which needs repeating every time?
