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.

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 delete button.png Delete a preset

Delete the selected preset.

This action permanently deletes the preset file from disk.

Manual editing of preset files

The normal way to modify a preset is to load it through the main interface, modify the rules, and then save the preset again.

Manual editing of preset files with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) is possible but highly discouraged. Small mistakes can easily produce a corrupted preset. Avoid manual editing unless you know exactly what you are doing.

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.
