Rename feature is under my radar, I need it, too. > Also would like feature to select a single item in left side and a single item in right side, to copy the name from left item to right item, or from right item to left item. Just to be sure I understand your request Suppose the following scenario left side right side file1.txt file1.txt file3.txt file4.txt I select file4.txt and file3.txt then I have 2 new menu items 'Rename file4.txt in file3.txt' 'Rename file3.txt in file4.txt' Is it correct? |
|
|
Yes, that is correct, except correct your English to say 'Rename file4.txt as file3.txt', using the word 'as' not 'in'. Also allow this to be done to folder names. And if only one item is selected on one side only, allow rename where a dialog pops up with current name for user to edit/type over for new name. |
|
|
When are you going to get to this, please? |
|
|
The rename code is written, it's not trivial because all parents counters (on both sides) must be updated according to the modification. I must write the UI code and make more tests. I hope to release in September/October |
|
|
Just wondering about the status of this item??? |
|
|
There are some strange bugs so I can't release it, the UI code (choosing the new name, refresh the list and so on must be written) I need help to tests some code, do you are interested in doing the alpha tester? |
|
|
Yes I would be willing to test. |
|
|
Ok I add a basic UI to rename file and I will send you the version I hope in 3-5 days to prepare the alpha, at this time I'm busy so I can't do it quickly |
|
|
I've the alpha version ready, tell me if I can send to you the link at your email address registered here to bugs.visualdiffer.com |
|
|
Yes, please do send me the alpha version in the email. |
|
|
zip sent, thanks for your help |

The basic rename option appears to work. Not implemented: Also would like feature to select a single item in left side and a single item in right side, to copy the name from left item to right item, or from right item to left item. I tried Copy File Names on the other side to see if I could paste in the name, but that copies a path, so that does not serve as a way to copy a file name from one side to the other, which I might want to do if I am keeping two folders in sync and I renamed a file in one of them and want to do the same renaming in the other side quickly. |

> The basic rename option appears to work. I found some little bugs so I can't move it from alpha to beta stage but as you can see I'm working on it > Not implemented: Also would like feature to select a single item in left side and a single item in right side, to copy the name from left item to right item, or from right item to left item. I never realized a similar feature, it sounds very good, the menu item should be "Rename 'file1' to 'file2'" > I tried Copy File Names on the other side to see if I could paste in the name, but that copies a path, so that does not serve as a way to copy a file name from one side to the other, which I might want to do if I am keeping two folders in sync and I renamed a file in one of them and want to do the same renaming in the other side quickly. I think the menu label is incorrect, indeed I want to split this feature in 'Copy Full Paths' (the current action) and 'Copy Filenames' (it will appear when ALT key is pressed) |

Yes. When right clicking on file4 with file3 and file4 selected, you would see "Rename as file3". The "Rename as file4" would appear in the menu for file3 when both selected. |

Looking forward to this much needed feature. Any update on this? |
|
|
The current alpha implementation is very bugged and can't be released. I'm working on other VD features so this is frozen at this time |
|
|
Just wondering if work is starting back up on this issue? Thanks. |
|
|
Any news about this feature? |
|
|
I'm looking forward for this feature, too. I love the VD app; I've ported the Windows beyondCompare v.1 to Mac using Wine, just to make huge folder sync. Good luck with the bugs. |
|
|
Looks like you were working on this in 2013 from the notes on this ticket. Can you please finish this feature? |
