Batch rename the search results

I use Xnview's search to find media files with <space> character (something MS search cannot do, I think) and then use batch rename to replace <space> with <underscore> in many seperate folders. If batch rename could be performed on search results, then it would be more versatile.

But it's possible, you can't do that?

No, Menu>Tools>Batch Rename... is unavailable (grey) when browser displays <search results>.

Really strange why, because I can use batch rename, try Ctrl+A and F2. :wink:

Looks as a bug.
