Oh, I missed something

Nice to hear from you again!
That'll teach you to wake me up

Good to hear from you, dloneranger

I looked at you example project, with static texts. In ReNamer, I create static text dynamically, and put it as a child of a listview (rules and files table). This way it actually looks like it is inside the tables, and it also gets cropped properly when tables are resized.

About sorting: There is an option in Settings, Preview tab: "Resort table when files are added". Try it!

Yes, it would be nice to display the name of the currently loaded preset, and to be able to load a new one more easily. I've been fiddling with the dropdown box, above the rules, but without any luck...

1)
My mistake, I actually meant remembering the sort order over different sessions
I normally sort by filename, and I get bit occasionally the first time I start renamer
(Normally, I'll have a serialize rule in there somewhere and unless I've set the sort order it goes all out of shape - but because I'm used to renamer remembering the sort order I always forget to set it on the first use)

2)
I have no idea about the blue static text you mention
I've added a manifest to renamer (v4.12) and can't see what you mean
The only corruption I can see is in the coolbar
eg
ftp://dloneranger.dynu.com/example.jpg

3)
I must admit I haven't played with the listview control
Any time it looked useful, there's been a better reason to use an in-memory database and an enhanced dbgrid
There's a lot of good free ones and it saves me having to reinvent the wheel every time
eg
most will sort by column automatically, but even if they didn't, all I have to do to sort by name is something like

SqlQuery.close;
sqlQuery.text:='select * order by FName';
sqlquery.open;

or just use the column number
eg ftp://dloneranger.dynu.com/AviInfo.zip

1) I'll put that onto my TODO list!

2) Download the latest beta, the tool bar is fixed in it. The blue text that I was talking about is the "Drag your files here" and "Click to add a rule" signs!

3) I use Virtual TreeView, which works transparently, it doesn't actually store any information for the table, but it requests it via events.

That's a really nice bit of freeware - I love it

Suprisingly, even the standard delphi controls work well in virtual mode
You don't get the 'pretties', but they do get themed quite well

That beta's great - I haven't found any way to get visual corruption
Looks like it's time to add a manifest to the program !!!

I wouldn't rush with the manifest just yet, there are few little things have to be done first...

By the way, I personally prefer not manifested version

It's like ice-cream!
Can't stand chocolate - it makes me feel sick

-------------------------------------------

So, what can I annoy you with next.......
Ok, here's one thing
The bar with 'Add Files Add Folders -> Preview -> Rename'
What's the deal with '->'
No pretty glyph? <just kidding>

No ... no time to search for nice glyphs... if you find nice ones, i might replace them!
