A "preset" is a set of rules that is saved with a user-defined name. It can optionally save the Filter setting also.

You can save frequently used sets of rules as presets, and load them instantly. This saves you a lot of time. Without the presets, you would have to compose the same set of rules each time.

ReNamer assigns a keyboard shortcut automatically to each saved preset, so that it can be loaded in the Rules pane with least effort. You can create an unlimited number of presets (but in practice, you would need a maximum of 4-5 presets)

To do this Do this...
Save a preset
  1. Create a list of rules (Managing rules).
  2. Set the required Filter settings (optional).
  3. Press CTRL+S, or use the Presets > Save As menu option.
  4. A window pops up:
    SavePresetDialog.png
  5. Enter a new name in the Name box, or select one of the existing presets listed below to overwrite it.
  6. Put a tick in the check box if you want to save the current filter settings.
  7. Press the Save button. The preset is saved.

ReNamer automatically assigns shortcuts to all the saved presets in a fixed sequence. The sequence of shortcuts will be CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc. These shortcuts cannot be edited.

Note: At any point of time, you can abort the process by pressing ESC.

Load an existing preset You can load any of the presets by pressing its shortcut (CTRL+1, etc. see above). If you do not remember the shortcuts, use the Preset > Load menu to see the master list of all existing presets and select a preset from that list.The selected preset is loaded.
Delete an existing preset Sometimes you may not need a preset any longer. To delete it, follow these steps:
  1. Press CTRL+M or use the Presets > Manage menu option.
  2. The Presets manager window pops up:
    PresetsManager.png
  3. Select the preset you want to delete and then press DEL key or the PresetDeleteButton.png button.
  4. Close the Preset Manager window.

    File:SaveChangedmpFileDialog.png
    7. Click on Yes. Now the preset is edited.
