ReNamer preset load button.png Load a preset

Load the selected preset, replacing the current set of rules.

You can also press Enter to load the currently selected preset.

  • Hold Ctrl when loading a preset to automatically close the window.
  • Hold Shift when loading a preset to append rules from the selected preset to the current set of rules.

ReNamer preset append button.png Append a preset

Append rules from the selected preset to the current set of rules.

This is a useful way to merge rules from multiple presets.

ReNamer preset copy button.png Copy a preset

Create a duplicate preset file with same rules.

The duplicate will have the same base name with COPY appended to the end.

This is useful as a starting point when creating a variation of an existing preset.

ReNamer preset rename button.png Rename a preset

Rename the selected preset. A prompt will appear to enter the new name.

You can use path delimiters in the new name to create a directory structure for presets.

ReNamer preset edit button.png Edit a preset

Manually edit a preset file using a text editor (e.g. Notepad). This is for advanced users only.

Warning: Avoid manual editing unless you know exactly what you are doing. Small mistakes can produce a corrupted preset. The normal approach is to load a preset through the main interface, modify the rules, and save the preset again.

Example preset file content:

[Rule0]
ID=Insert
Config=TEXT:Example;WHERE:1;POSITION:1;INSERTAFTERTEXT:;INSERTBEFORETEXT:;RIGHTTOLEFT:0;SKIPEXTENSION:1
Marked=1
Comment=This is an example rule

Syntax:

  • Rule definitions are grouped in sections headed by [Rule0], [Rule1], and so on.
  • ID= identifies the type of rule.
  • Config= contains the encoded rule configuration.
    • Parameters are separated by ;.
    • Each parameter follows Name:Value format.
    • Parameter values are URL-encoded.
  • Marked= stores the marked/unmarked state of the rule.
  • Comment= stores an annotation for the rule.

ReNamer preset delete button.png Delete a preset

Delete the selected preset.

This action permanently deletes the preset file from disk.
