ReNamer 5.50 and other news

den4b · 2009-05-04 01:00

It has been several months since I made a new release, but this is not because the work has stopped. In fact, just from the list of changes in ReNamer you can see quite the opposite. I have been working on 3 different tools for past several months: ReNamer, Shutter v3, and Hasher v3. ReNamer got a large number of updates, Shutter got completely redesigned and is almost ready for the release, and Hasher has been redesigned almost twice and now is getting to a very early Alpha stage with still a lot of work to be done.

There are also some activities aside from the main development stream. Narayan, with a help of few other users, is working on an extensive user manual for ReNamer. It would be really helpful if people could have a quick look, proofread it, and post their comments in the related topic: Making of new manual.

Also, myself and eR@SeR (Nikola) are trying to figure out a formal procedure for localization, so anybody could do it from their own computer without the use of expensive localization tools. Hopefully, soon we will publish a guide on the forum on how to localize (translate) some of my tools to any language.

I have to thank some of you who are helping me out, especially Narayan and eR@SeR for their will to help first of all, and for their work mentioned above. Thanks to all active members on the forum too, I am glad that some of you are able to help me out with it.
