ReNamer Beta (21 Jan 2008)

One of the new features in the preceding Beta version was not compatible with some
ReNamer configurations, i.e. where presets, including the default one, where loaded
on the startup of the application - as a result, an error message would appear.

More information regarding this issue can be found here: Renamer Beta [January 20 2008] INI Error

The latest development version, as of 21 Jan 2008, fixes this incompatibility.

P.S. Stefan, I had to replace your post as your wording of the problem could have been misinterpreted.
