Special(14) "Order" cannot affect RegEx(1)

Postby Luuk » Fri Jul 12, 2024 10:27 am

Regex(1) always conduct first, regardless of order specified in "Renaming Criteria Order".
If any options are specified to conduct before RegEx(1), they will not conduct (in any order).

An exception example: If your regular-expression only affects one of your original filenames...
That one name gets processed by RegEx, and only the options specified to conduct AFTER RegEx.
If unaffected by RegEx, names are processed as expected (by options specified before/after RegEx).

Confirmed with setting multiple-orders, and all other options besides RegEx(1) conduct as expected.
Also confirmed that the .bru-file saved lines like... Criteria Order="11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1"

Many thanks for this new version! This does seem like its easy for the programmers to fix?
