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 you start the program. You can create an unlimited number of presets, but in practice, you would normally need about 4-5 presets.
Shortcuts
ReNamer automatically assigns keyboard shortcuts to presets, so that they can be loaded into the Rules pane with least effort. Shortcuts have the following form: CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc. Unfortunately, there are only 9 shortcuts available, one for every digit from 1 to 9.
Presets are sorted in alphabetic order. You can manipulate the order of the presets by renaming them. If you want some specific preset to always appear at the top, you can insert an exclamation mark "!" (or some other symbol that is at the top of the sorting order) in front of the preset name. If you have several presets that you want to push to the top, you can prefix them with something like this: "!1", "!2", "!3", etc.
