ReNamer 5.71 and Shutter 3.2

den4b · 2013-08-20 23:42

Today have new releases for both ReNamer and Shutter, mostly maintenance but still with few enhancements and new features introduced in both products.

ReNamer got a new capitalization option which preserves the original case, instead of forcing everything to lower case prior to capitalizing first letters of every word - a feature often requested. Also, ID3_AlbumArtist meta tag has been added. Shutter received a revamped tray icon, improoved action/event dialog with a handy list of actions/events replacing the cumbersome drop-down menu, and few additional options to "Close Window" action. Both products had few minor issues with the registration process which should be fixed now.

Changes in ReNamer 5.71:

* Special unicode combining characters (e.g. COMBINING TILDE U+0303) are handled correctly within Case rule when performing capitalization of words;
* Added "Capitalize AND Preserve" option to the Case rule, which acts like "Capitalize Every Word" but it does not initialize everything to lower case before capitalizing, hence, preserving most of the original case;
* White spaces are stripped from the registration code to prevent issues;
* Native string comparison function replaced with binary comparison for highlighting changed names and clearing not changed files so to work around the Windows API behavior that treats German "sharp s" and "ss" as equal;
* Handle errors of all functions that use SHGetFileInfo API;
* Fixed issue with retrieving common documents folder on some versions of Windows XP by replacing use of SHGetSpecialFolderLocation API with SHGetSpecialFolderPath;
* Updated VirtualTreeView component to v5.1.3
* License file on Windows 9x/NT is stored in application folder without vendor subdirectories;
* Rules statements converted to resource strings for translation;
* Added ID3_AlbumArtist meta tag;

Changes in Shutter 3.2:

* White spaces are stripped from the registration code to prevent issues;
* Dropdown menu of actions and events converted to a list menu;
* Enhanced "Close Window" action with methods: Close, Quit and Kill;
* Default method for "Close Window" action is changed from Quit to Close;
* Minor cosmetic and language related improvements;
* Fixed issue with retrieving common documents folder on some versions of Windows XP by replacing use of SHGetSpecialFolderLocation API with SHGetSpecialFolderPath;
* Fixed encoding issues in localized versions which affected web interface, action links and command line execution;
* Added option to autorun at windows logon for the current user;
* Updated tray icon images, larger with transparent corners;

Oops, mistakenly labeled the version of ReNamer as 5.72, when it should be 5.71. Fixed it now.

Thanks to Stefan for pointing it out!
