Re: How to add renamed files NOT delete older

Hi sm1rk, welcome.

When iam trying to rename:
folder\folder2\file
to
folder_1\folder2_1\file_1
the program rename only first folder and can't find all other sub-folders cuz wrong path.

So i got error that success only 1 file and all other error. Result is:
folder_1\folder2\file

No wonder to me.
Since you rename the top most folder first, the sub folder has an new parent now:
"folder\folder2\file"
"folder_1\folder2\file"

so "folder2" is still searched under "folder" but is now to find under "folder_1".

To solve this click on the Folder column header to sort descending first to rename the deepest sub-folder first.

See our wiki > http://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Renaming_folders
(thanks to Den4b for that demonstration)
