A year a half worth of changes, fixes and new features, accumulating to over 40 changes is what ReNamer 5.70 is bringing.

There is now a bundled User Manual that comes with ReNamer, for users who prefer to have an offline version of the manual. A number of small glitches and bugs were resolved which will hopefully improve your experience. Other highlights include a number of new functions in PascalScript, more unicode capable meta tags and export/import functions, and a build-in registration facility for commercial users.

* Rewritten file version information extraction code to be Unicode capable;
* VersionInfo_Version meta tag was split into two separate VersionInfo_FileVersion and VersionInfo_ProductVersion tags;
* Changed how "Always on top" option is applied, it now requires a restart;
* Replaced use of DragAcceptFiles with WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES on main form;
* Analyze dialog got its own place on the taskbar and can now be minimized independently of the main window;
* If natural sort thinks items are the same, perform a normal text sort, so names like "01" and "1" will always appear in a consistent order;
* Reworked functions for processing special folders to better handle errors;
* Translation field in the About dialog became more apparent;
* Built-in registration facility and Terms of Use dialog;
* Fixed a problem with partially shown main window in the command line mode, which was caused by usage of "remember last position and size" option;
* Added GetCurrentMarkedFileIndex and GetTotalNumberOfMarkedFiles functions to PascalScript;
* Added 3 new functions to PascalScript: GetCurrentFileIndex, GetTotalNumberOfFiles, WideGetTempPath;
* Added "Fix conflicting new names on preview" option in the Settings;
* A more detailed warning message for the real-time preview option;
* Right click on the white header of the About dialog will place application's version information in to the clipboard;
* Upgraded Virtual Treeview component to v5.1.0;
* Changed versioning pattern from "5.60+ Beta 22" to "5.60.22 Beta";
* Added release date to the About dialog;
* Fixed issue with natural sorting algorithm: next immediate character after a numeric value was skipped (jumped over) in comparison;
* Added "Extension always upper case" option to the Case rule;
* Fixed issue with shortcuts from the main window being kept active when showing modal dialogs in the command line mode;
* No flickering of the main window when performing command line renaming;
* Added option to export files to a batch renaming file;
* Fixed export/import of CSV files to correctly handle quoted strings, including appearance of commas within the values;
* Importing from M3U/PLS playlists now works on Unicode filenames;
* Importing/exporting from/to CSV/TAB files now works on Unicode filenames;
* Fixed file extracting issue when importing from PLS playlist;
* Added "Go To" button on the Browse dialog;
* Checkboxes in rules configuration will be automatically selected when user modifies the associated input field;
* Added preliminary file signature for WebM video files;
* Added file signatures to detect MP4 video files;
* Included PDF version of the User Manual compiled from the Wiki pages;
* Previous update of Virtual Treeview to v4.8.7 caused the drag & drop feature of the files table to stop working; As a workaround, SimpleDrawSelection flag had to be disabled and now drawing a selection with the mouse will work only on if the State column is in the drawn rectangle;
* Failed loading of the compiled code in Pascal Script will raise an error instead of the whole rule being skipped silently;
* Added 3 new functions to Pascal Script: WideJoinStrings, GetApplicationPath, GetApplicationParams;
* Added MSI|PUB as alternative extensions to the file signature associated with DOC|PPT|XLS file formats;
* Added helper menu with examples of regular expressions;
* Fixed problem with not updated files counter when files are deleted in to the recycling bin via shell menu option;
* Main toolbar items are resized according to the ratios based on the original widths in the form definition, as opposed to hard-coded ratios, enabling adjustment of the width of the main toolbar items by translators;
* Meta tag description is made translatable;
* Spacebar will work as the Insert key does on the files table, inverting the marked state for all selected items;
* Fixed problem with the new window positioning method which restored position with an offset if there were taskbars anchored to the left or top side of the desktop;
