Add an option to open the rename window directly from explorer

[heynando]

Hi there first of all #respect, Everything is already in my top 5 best apps of all-time

My suggestion is to add an option in the shell of Windows Explorer that directly opens Everything's Renamer pop-up when files or folders are selected.

and make it default ON otherwise people won't use so just add an option to disable it just in case someone feels bothered

I got this idea from this app called Power Toys that has a feature called "PowerRename" but it isn't as useful as Everything's Renamer

"SendTo".

Code: Select all

:: Everything Rename "stand-alone" or "SendTo" or ...

:: Requires >= Everything 1.4.1.791
:: Requires a minimum of 2 files
:: Might run into an ~2048 command line character length limitation

echo %*
echo %* > C:\DEV\Locate\Everything_Rename\dumy

pause

START "" C:\DEV\Locate\Everything_Rename\Everything.exe -rename %*

[void]

You can also launch the Everything renamer with the -rename command line option:
Everything.exe -rename

and then drag drop your files onto the Everything renamer.

A single instance of the Everything renamer is in development.
