New "File already exists" pop-up in v3.30

Ron · 2006-06-10 18:54

Hi,

First of all, thank you for a great and very useful program.

My question:

After I installed v3.30 over v3.20, whenever I exit Renamer I get a "File already exists" pop-up dialog (See attachment for a screenshot).

I have enabled "Save rules configuration on exit, load on startup" (This is what triggers the pop-up)
I have NOT enabled "Overwrite files with New Names" or "Clear Rules List on Rename"
(I used the same settings in v3.20 and v3.30)

I did not get this pop-up with v3.20, so is this a new "feature" in v3.30?
Is there a way/option to suppress this annoying pop-up?

Thanks,
Ron

Btw, doesn't this forum have a "Post-preview" option?

Thank you for your report! I'm aware of that problem already, and I have already fixed it, but the new version is not yet released. It was a problem with the "[default].rnp" (saving default preset). This issue appeared because of the redesign of the core system, and major cleanup.

Anyway, you can download the latest development version from here:

I've been working hard on the new version, I've made some huge changes like addition of Unicode Support and New Visual Components. Try it, and tell me how it goes, ok?

No, unfortunately it doesn't, but its the best flat-file forum (no database required).

There might be a problem with uploading attachments, I'm not sure...

I've downloaded and installed the new beta version, I've not done any extensive testing yet, but it seems to work OK.

I'm not sure what you mean by "New Visual Components"? If it's the better sorting option and column selection, it is indeed an improvement.

I think I found one (minor) bug: When I open a directory with Renamer v4 Beta, the first line in the file display (File Table) is: "/enqueue".

I can't judge if it's the best....., but it's a bit limited from an end-user's point of view:
- No preview option (circumvention is to submit the post, look at how it shows up, and if necessary edit the result)
- No click-able code tags
- No Topic subscription
- No email notifications

Please don't get me wrong, this is certainly not intended as a complaint, just an observation, I am in fact really grateful that this freeware program does have a support forum at all.

Cheers,
Ron

Yes, it is indeed limited a lot from the end-user's point of view... The Giant bulletin boards like phpBB and vBulletin - they do have all these fancy (and recently became essential) features, but they all require the use of the database. Hopefully, I'll be able to move to phpBB in future...

Is there any other good/powerfull/stable/easy-to-use/php-based forums out there?

I'm afraid I don't know Denis. I only know forum programs as an end-user.
