Run GUI in separate thread, better handling of network loss

smares · 2014-07-12 21:14

Hello,

I have two suggestions for ReNamer:

1. Run the GUI in a separate thread so that it's still reponsive during a long-lasting operation. Maybe even add a progressbar and the ability to stop a task.

2. When working with mounted network devices, when the network device becomes unavailable for a moment because of bad network connectivity, ReNamer appears to hang and does not resume operation when the drive becomes available again. I attempted to rename 2k files from a network drive and once the connection dropped for a second, ReNamer no longer responded so I had to kill it.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

This has been on the list of improvements for a very long time now.

The best I can do it right now is to move it up the priority list, but there are few other important features ahead of it so I wouldn't hold my breath.
