ReNamer:Using presets

A "preset" is a set of rules (and optionally, a Filter setting also).

Presets are used to save often-used sets of rules and their filter settings. This saves you a lot of time. (Without the presets, you would have to compose the same set of rules from scratch each time.)

ReNamer assigns a keyboard shortcut automatically to each saved preset, so that it can be loaded in the Rules pane with least effort.

You can create an unlimited number of presets.

To do this-	Do this
Save a preset	1. Load the desired rules in the Rules pane, in the desired sequence. Edit the rules. 2. Set the Filters (optional). 3. Press CTRL+S (or use the Presets>Save As menu option) 4.

Press the Save button. The preset is saved.     ReNamer automatically assigns shortcuts to all the saved presets in a fixed sequence     (which is CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc.) (These shortcuts cannot be edited.) Note: At any point of time, you can abort the process by pressing ESC.
