Add "Add to ReNamer" to all Files & Folders Context Menu
Hi everybody..
I was looking for an option (Add to ReNamer) for all file types,
and i found that the only options available is :-
"add to folders context menu"
and another option for files & folders :-
"Add to "send to" context menu"
and because i use ReNamer a lot,
I've made this registry Key entry of "Add to ReNamer"
to all the files and folders context menu .
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ReNamer.Add]
@="Add to ReNamer"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ReNamer.Add\command]
@="\"C:\\(ReNamer Path)\\ReNamer 5.75\\ReNamer.exe\" /enqueue \"%1\""just change the ReNamer Path...
I Know There are a lot of advanced users in this community,
But I hope this Key could be helpful for even one person...

Re: Add "Add to ReNamer" to all Files & Folders Context Menu
The good thing of this is that it overcomes the limitation of number of files to be droped to a shortcut.
The bad thing is that (for me, with my autopreview settings) makes a preview of every file in the list each time one it is added giving me very bad performance.
But maybe Denis could make something to make it act more like the shortcut?
If this software has helped you, consider getting your pro version. :)

Re: Add "Add to ReNamer" to all Files & Folders Context Menu
Many versions ago there actually was an option to add "Add to ReNamer" to files too, but it was later removed and replaced by the "Add to SendTo" option.
Options from context menu are executed on per item basis. That means if you select 100 files and use "Add to ReNamer" option, 100 instances of ReNamer will be launched in the background to handle each file individually. Eventually only the first instance will remain open and 99 others will pass their file to the first instance and close down. That is also why the auto preview in main instance will be executed 100 times as all these files are added individually, not in one go.
In contrast, the advantage of using the "SendTo" option is that all selected files/folders are sent to ReNamer in one go.
Adding an option to context menu of folders has remained because users tend to add significantly fewer number of folders than files in one go, either way it is always better to use the "SendTo" option.
