'Rename' - Program Help start.

To rename files or directories:

1. Select the file or directory to be renamed.
2. Choose Rename from the File menu and Enter the new name.
3. Old and new name will be shown in the results list on the status bar.

NB
Rename is useful to edit the filename/type on a simple screen.
It is also the only way to change a directory name.

To perform more general rename of files/directories with *-notation, replace options and move of entire directories with creation of a subdir for the dir moved, use Move function.


1. Select the file or directory to be renamed.

Only a single file or directory will be renamed with this function. Use Move to rename multiple files / directories.

Item renamed will be from the Current Section:
. directory tree - the directory selected will be renamed.
. file list - the first file or directory selected in blue and marked with * will be renamed. If no files are selected in blue, the first file selected in green will be renamed
. the text section - the file currently displayed will be renamed.

The Current Section is the part (directory tree, file list or text) which has a white background.
To change the section, press tab or click on the section required.


2. Choose Rename from the File menu and Enter the new name.

Enter the name of the new file.

A mask in *-notation is not allowed. Use Move to enter a new name using *-notation

Rename can be used to move a file/directory to a different/new subdirectory of the directory where it is now.
Use Move to move a file to a different drive.

Files cannot be replaced using rename. Use Move for full replace options.


3. Old and new name will be shown in the results list on the status bar.
