Bulk Rename Utility 4.0.0.8 changelog:
- New Renaming Option (Advanced): 'Bypass Name and Path Validation
- Performed by Windows'. This option is useful when renaming files with invalid characters, such as removing an invalid dot or space at the end of a filename.
- Changed behavior of the 'Word Space' option in Add (7): it now inserts spaces only before uppercase letters that follow lowercase letters or numbers, and ignores all other characters. The old behavior can still be achieved using a RegEx.
- Upgraded the RegEx (1) v2 algorithm from UTF-8 to UTF-16 to avoid issues with characters such as à, á, è, é, í, ó, ú, and other problems related to replacing certain Unicode characters. This also applies to regular expressions used in Replace (3).
- Added support for using relative paths in Copy/Move to Location (13). For example, use “.\” for current folder, “..\” for parent folder, or simply “SubfolderName” to copy or move files to a subfolder of the current folder. This allows creating copies of files/folders “in place” or relative to the current file path.
- Extended the functionality of the Lvl field in Filters (12). You can now limit subfolder level inclusion using comparison operators: <=, < (e.g., <=3, <3), >, >= (e.g., >0, >=5), and = (e.g., =3). For example, to include all subfolders with files but exclude files in the root folder, use >0. To include only files and subfolders at level 2, use =2.
- Fixed an issue with copying/moving folders using Copy/Move to Location (13) while also renaming them.
- Fixed issue with Delta timestamp changes not working in version 4.0.0.7.
- Fixed issue with the program freezing when browsing files and folders on a hidden drive. The hidden drive is still not shown in the Bulk Rename Utility folder tree, but entering a path in the address bar now allows browsing the drive and renaming files and folders without the program locking.
