Currently working with profiles in multi rename is quite complicated.

We have to:
- switch tab to profiles
- select profile with mouse
- click the small apply button
- click the Rename button

My suggestions:

- activate profile with double click
- place drop down button with profiles to Settings tab too, just small single line option as in old FC, editing options would stay on Profiles tab
- activate profiles drop down menu option on dialog start, to use only arrow keys to select profile and Enter to apply

This way we'd have to just:
- select profile with arrow keys (if needed)
- press Enter

Thanks.

Added in 581, thanks.

One old and the new suggestions:

1. When dialog is opened, activate "Profile" field, please. This would help a lot, just select files, F2, arrows (to select profile) and Enter.

2. Option to show Quick view on top, horizontally (so the quick view, then the file list, then the settings).

3. Minor - add a standard shortcut to toggle tabs (settings/profiles) - Ctrl+PageDown/Up. Ctrl+Tab works good, but I'm using the other shortcut also for tabs in the main FC window to toggle tabs.

4. Minor - order of focusing items when using Tab key, change "Include only files of this type" is the last item, it should go after "Exclude extension" option.

Thanks.

Implemented for the release 582:

>>1. When dialog is opened, activate "Profile" field, please. This would help a lot, just select files, F2, arrows (to select profile) and Enter.
The option "Activate profiles TAB first" was changed to "Activate profiles combo box first".
>>2. Option to show Quick view on top, horizontally (so the quick view, then the file list, then the settings).
New option added "Quick viewer orientation - horizontal".

Thanks, Marek.

"Activate profiles combo box first" didn't work correctly, it needs to be deactivated and re-activated probably. Now it works good.

Edit: So it's broken though, I'll start a new topic for this issue.
