Rename auto select name NOT extension...

Post by TsunamiZ »

Any chance rename can auto select just the file name and NOT extension? It would save a lot of time editing file names. Thanks.

:) In Total Commander, this is done via 2 extra-INI entries, one to simply enable¦disable that feature :
InplaceRename=1
Enable / disable inplace renaming when clicking twice on a name (1/0)
- The other to choose if the whole name + ext. or only the name is highlighted to rename :
RenameSelOnlyName=1¦0
"1" : Selects only the name in the inplace-rename field.
"0" : Selects the name and the extension.
- So, it might be so simple to add in that way…;)

• Simpler and better :

InplaceRename = (flag)

Image0 : Disabled
Image1 : Show & select “Name + extension”
Image2 : Show “Name” only
Image3 : Select “Extension” only

:D What do you think ?

I'd prefer same dialog as in Viewer, by default, option isn't necessary IMO.

:D Hello !

- If you prefer a dialogue, then this no longer an “Inplace Rename”, and the start-poster TsunamiZ is talking about this, it seems ? Image

An option is needed---

:) Hi !

- I guess I got you. But to obtain this, an option is needed anyway, because all users don't wish the Inplace Rename like you ;)
- So, forging ahead, why not all capabilities, allowing to satisfy everybody ?

I think more important is to have selected just filename, not extension. Dialog would be easier to implement maybe, since it already exists in Viewer.
