Suggestion - Refresh of a single entry

When I change the name directly by hand via the shortcut ALT-Enter (Properties) the filename will be changed but the listentry is not refreshed.

To avoid a timeconsuming refresh of the whole list (which could have a large number of entries) there should be a possibility just to refresh the marked entry.

Re: Suggestion - Refresh of a single entry

You have misunderstood an important concept. When you add files to ReNamer, program simply stores paths (e.g. "C:\folder\file.txt") for the files. And later, program renames those stored paths to new names generated by the program.

What you did is: You have changed the real name and path of one of those files (via file properties), thus making it impossible for ReNamer to rename that file later, because it will not be found by the path specified initially.

If you want to manually specify the new name of some particular file in the table, press F2 or use renaming option from the table's context menu (within ReNamer), this will change a new name for that particular file. And when you will press "Rename", files will be renamed.

Does this make it any clearer?
