Hi,

I work for a company that just took over IT services for a radio station, and we're currently tracing the automation system to figure out how everything is working. I have discovered that Advanced Renamer was being used to change the names of some of the files that get downloaded. To figure out exactly what it happening, I'm trying to figure out exactly how this renaming is working. I have found that there are two different scheduled tasks set to run about 20 minutes apart.

Both of the *.aren files are almost identical. The only difference is the first one has two methods with a tag of "Active:1" and a third method with a tag of "Active:0". The second file has the same methods that were "Active:1" as "Active:0" and vice versa.

To make sure I know exactly what's happening, I need to know if what that difference means. I'm assuming that "Active:1" means "do this method during this run" and that "Active:0" means "ignore this method during this run." Am I correct? If this is so, why have the methods that are "active:0" even list at all then in that particular *.aren file?

Just take a look yourself:
- add one or more methods
- Save Method List as "one"

- deactivate one or another method [x] checkbox
- Save Method List as "two"

- open the *.aren files in a text editor and compare
