 Muligt, men Total Commander, er lysår foran stifinder til filhåndtering af enhver art.
 Som eks. kan søg/erstat, counters samt avanceret placeholder håndtering benyttes.
 
 Herunder et udrag af on-line help and multi renaming

 ----------------
 Dialog box - Multi-rename tool
 
 With this dialog box, you can rename a list of files selected in Total Commander. Instead of * 
 and ? wildcards, this function uses placeholders in brackets []. The new names are immediately 
 shown in the result list, but the files are not renamed until the Start! button is pressed.
 
 
 Field   Description
 
 Rename mask: file name
 With this field, you can create a definition for a new file name. The buttons below allow to 
 insert place holders for the previous name, parts of the name, a counter, or file date/time. 
 Place holders are always in brackets [ ], while all other letters (without brackets) will be 
 placed in the new name without a change.
 See below for a description of all available placeholders!
 Extension   Definition string for extension. In principle, all placeholders can be added to 
 either of the two definition boxes. The rename tool will create a rename string like this: 
 Fields in name mask + "." + Fields in extension mask. The reason why the two fields are 
 separated is to prevent the accidental removal of file extensions, which would remove the 
 association of files with a certain program.
 
 Search & Replace   The string entered in the field 'Search for' is replaced by the string in 
 'Replace with'. The text in 'search for' is NOT case sensitive! This function is applied AFTER 
 the rename mask!
 
 Upper/lowercase   Converts the whole string to uppercase/lowercase/first letter 
 uppercase,rest lowercase. This function is applied AFTER the rename mask and after 
 search&replace. Use the [U], [L] and [n] placeholders to convert only certain parts of the name 
 to upper/lowercase!
 
 Define counter [C]   Allows to define the counter for the [C] field(s).
 Start at:   Number of the first file. The files are always numbered the same way as they are 
 shown in the result list. You can sort the result list just like in the main Total Commander 
 window. Additionally you can reorder individual items using drag&drop, or Shift+Cursor keys.
 Step by:   The counter is increased/decreased by this value.
 Digits:   Width of the counter field. If digits is >1, the rename tool will insert leading 
 zeros to get a fixed width number field.
 
 F2 Load/save settings
 Allows to load or save the settings of the multi-rename tool.
 <Default>   Sets the default settings (no changes to the names)
 Save settings
 Allows to save the current settings
 Delete entry   Deletes the last selected entry from the list
 Entry names   Loads settings saved earlier
 
 <File list>   Shows a list of all files being renamed. The modified names are shown in the New 
 name column. All changes to the above fields are immediately shown in this column, but the 
 files are not actually renamed until the Start! button is pressed. If the rename mask contains 
 an error, the string <Error!> is shown.
 The list can be sorted by name, extension, date/time and size, and individual items can be 
 moved up/down with drag&drop or Shift+Cursor keys. This is useful for changing the file order 
 for the counter function.
 
 Start!   Starts to rename files. There will be a warning message if there are name conflicts.
 Undo   Tries to undo the rename operation in reverse order (last renamed file first). This also 
 works AFTER closing the Multi-Rename-Tool! Just re-open it with any file(s).
 Result list   Creates a protocol of the renamed files.
 Close   Closes the dialog box without any further actions.
 
 
 Here is a description of all available placeholders. IMPORTANT: Upper/lowercase is relevant!
 [N]   old file name, WITHOUT extension
 [N2-5]   Characters 2 to 5 from the old name (totals to 4 characters). Double byte characters 
 (e.g. Chinese, Japanese) are counted as 1 character! The first letter is accessed with '1'.
 [N2,5]   5 characters starting at character 2
 [N2-]   All characters starting at character 2
 [N-8,5]   5 characters starting at the 8-last character (counted from the end of the name)
 
 [N-8-5]   Characters from the 8th-last to the 5th-ast character
 [2-5]   Characters 2-5 from the whole name and extension (other numbers as in [N] definition)
 [P]   Paste name of the parent directory, e.g. when renaming c:\directory\file.txt -> pastes 
 "directory".
 Also working: [P2-5], [P2,5], [P-8,5], [P-8-5] and [P2-], see description of [N] above.
 [E]   Extension
 [E1-2]   Characters 1-2 from the extension (other numbers as in [N] definition)
 
 [C]   Paste counter, as defined in Define counter field
 [C10+5:3]   Paste counter, define counter settings directly. In this example, start at 10, 
 step by 5, use 3 digits width.
 Partial definitions like [C10] or [C+5] or [C:3] are also accepted.
 [Caa+1]   Paste counter, define counter settings directly. In this example, start at aa,
