"Strip out content of brackets" misleading?

@Denis, @All, what do you think?

I think the description of the CleanUp Rule
"Strip out content of brackets"

is misleading to me because the brackets are removed also
and so i think this feature should read somehow like
"Remove brackets incl. content"

Alternatively the brackets should not be removed?

There is still the Strip Rule to remove brackets.

So we would use
1) CleanUp: Strip out contents of brackets (..) , Fix spaces (skip extension)
2) Strip: Strip characters "()" (skip extension)

Fits better to the modular working method of ReNamer?

That way we can also remove content only but let remain the brackets itself, if the a user needs this work flow.

Renaming could make sense. But for the other option there might be people with saved presets expecting the old behavior, so I don't think that should be changed.

Re: "Strip out content of brackets" misleading?

I agree with what SafetyCar has said, it would be a braking change.

Also, I think removal of the content inside brackets is wanted with the removal of the brackets too in most of the cases.
