Hello,
I downloaded BRU fairly recently and have found it quite useful and powerful. However, I'm now up against what should be a routine operation, but cannot figure out how to do it.
In a certain folder (Windows XP SP3) I've selected about 15 shortcut links to folders in a different folder. I want to rename those 15 links by adding the same word, for example "link," to each shortcut name.
So I right-click on the selected names and up comes "Bulk Rename Here" in the shell menu. Fine. I click on that item.
But instead of opening BRU with my 15 shortcut file names in the operations menu, BRU opens in the folder to which the shortcut points, with all the subfolders of that folder in the tree in the left pane. The only name in the operations pane, the filenames to be changed, is the name of the folder to which the shortcut points where the cursor happened to be when I right-clicked.
But I don't want to change that folder name or any other folder name, I want to change the names of shortcut files in another folder.
How can I select a group of files in an Explorer window and transfer those selected names to BRU so I can change them? It may be obvious, but I don't see how to start.
Many thanks for any help I can get.
