Change Tag to <DirName Level Seperator>
If my path is c: - users - deanable - desktop - textfile.txt Using <DirName 2 _> would output deanable_desktop Using <DirName 3 -> would output users-deanable-desktop Great Software !!! |

I'm sorry I don't understand what you want the software to do. |

The <DirName> tag renames a file / folder with the name of the containing folder, right? E.g. If I add file "c:\parent_folder\child_folder\file1.txt" to the advanced renamer and I choose <DirName>.<Ext> as my naming tags, the output or result will be a file named "c:\parent_folder\child_folder\child_folder.txt" What I suggest is to expand the syntax of the <DirName> tag by adding two attributes: 1. A folder-level attribute that gives you the option of choosing more that one level (the containing folder) into the file path. 2. An optional seperator character (with a default null string value) for levels of folders > 1. So the expanded syntax of the <DirName> tag is as follows <DirName FolderLevel OptionalSeperator>. Let's use the example above with a couple of permutations to illustrate... Input: "c:\parent_folder\child_folder\file1.txt" Case 1: Apply tag <DirName 2 _>.<Ext> gives "c:\parent_folder\child_folder\parent_folder_child_folder.txt" Case 2: Apply tag: <DirName 2 ->.<Ext> gives "c:\parent_folder\child_folder\parent_folder-child_folder.txt" Case 3: Apply tag:<DirName 3>.<Ext> gives gives "c:\parent_folder\child_folder\cparent_folderchild_folder.txt" Advanced Renamer ROCKS !!! AWESOME !!! |

You are welcome. I realize I have forgotten to update the user manual with the new option for the dirname tag. |
