No more crashing, but it does not rename them either. Error column says, "The system cannot find the file specified. (2)"
I tried putting the CSV file in the same folder as the to-be-renamed files too.
This error message means the source file does not exist. Perhaps you don't have correct file paths in the CSV file?
Inspect the Path column after you import the CSV file. Make sure that the paths for all files are correct, including the extension.
If you are still having issues, please include screenshots with some dummy files.

I tried putting the CSV file in the same folder as the to-be-renamed files too. FYI the location is "C:\Users\steve\Downloads\ncDL\data"
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
]]>1. Resolve relative paths at the point of import, with the base path dictated by the location of the import file.
2. Gracefully handle such errors during the renaming procedure.
Both of these items have been addressed in ReNamer 7.3.0.3 Beta.
Please try the latest development version.

See https://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Export_menu
Import file paths and new names
>> Imports file paths and new names from the .csv (comma separated) or .txt (tab separated) file.
Ah yes -- It didn't work because I didn't include the entire path...
The "Import file paths and new names" option requires two columns in the import file: full path and new name.
I have tried to make the wiki article a bit clearer to understood, IMHO.

Currently, this importing function does not handle relative paths, which then results in an unhandled error during the renaming procedure, because the latter requires full paths.
So, we have two items to address:
1. Resolve relative paths at the point of import, with the base path dictated by the location of the import file.
2. Gracefully handle such errors during the renaming procedure.
EDIT: Would it be a good feature if ReNamer detected the absence of the path, and added it automatically?? It would definitely make my particular situation easier.

=A1&"="&B1&IF(COUNTIF($B$1:B1,B1)=1,"","-"&COUNTIF($B$1:B1,B1))
Paste it into C1, then copy-n-paste down the column.
Your way sounds easier though.... I will try it. Thanks!

I would probably use the "Import file paths and new names" option located in the Export menu, above the file table.
You will need to reformat your Excel file into two columns (file path and new name) and save it as a CSV file. Then, load it into ReNamer.

Ideas?
