Multi rename profile name changes not saved

#1 Post by vodoomoth » 03.01.2025, 13:39

Hi,
I think I came across a bug with the names of profiles in the Multi-rename window.

I selected a few PDF files in the right pane window (these are my bank account statements that I had just downloaded) and I switched to the Profiles tab to select a renaming profile that I had saved in the past. I have 4 of these profiles, each using regular expressions.

I happened to change the Name on one of these. I closed the dialog and when I went to the Profiles tab to rename another batch of renamed files, I realized that the new name I had given the profile did not stick. Relaunching FreeCommander XE did not change this.

I opened the Settings file FreeCommander.mren.ini and I could see that the old name was in there. Relaunching FC, I could see that Notepad++ reacted to a changed file contents, implying that the file was saved. I could confirm this by stopping FC, manually editing the file and relaunching FC. This time, my manual changes in the settings file stuck. I guess from this test session that the profiles were written as they were at read time: editing them through the multi-rename dialog is not taken into account.

I hope this is clear. If not, please let me know.
[EDIT] I'm running FC XE build 920 64-bit donor on Windows 11 24H2.

It is clear and I can reproduce it starting rename with F2 or the button.
Starting rename with slow double click - work properly.
