some questions

[h9903209]

For batch rename, can I rename files to CAPITAL LETTERS or "C"apital "L"etters?

After searching files, can I Ctrl+A to select all? and can I move them to other folder?

For merging files, must I use 2xexplorer to merge? e.g. If I copy to disk and bring to my friend's home, then do I need to use 2xexplorer for merge?

Also, Ctrl+D cannot work in my winxp for most folders, I am already administrator, do you know why?

thx for your wonderful file manager and look forward to your help.

although you could do that with the DOS ren command 2x cannot be of much help there since the tokens $N etc are not case sensitive

you could get a head start though generating a batch file with a template ren $N $N copy the contents and paste into an editor that supports changing case of names. Then you can do some editing to get the names as you please. If there are many of them you'll need an editor with macro processing capabilities

>After searching files, can I Ctrl+A to select all? and can I move them to other folder?

for some silly reason Ctrl+A is not supported in the find results dialog (I'll add it shortly). In the meantime a quick workaround is to go to the first line, select the item, hit [Ctrl+End] to go to the end and there [Shift]+click on the last item. That should give you a full selection.

Moving is not supported but you can do it in 2 steps; first copy and paste to destination, then return to the find results and do a delete.

not necessarily, although it would save you time. Merging is not rocket science by far  :) a simple DOS copy command would suffice to merge files into a single one thus:

Code: Select all

copy split.000+split.001 merged

of course if you have many files the above command becomes tedious to compile, that's why I said 2x can help you. There's also the alternative to specify wildcards:

Code: Select all

copy split.* merged

but the order the files will be merged is anybody's guess...

that's weird. Can you detect any type of "abnormality" for the offending folders? Encrypted/compressed... ??

you could get a head start though generating a batch file with a template ren $N $N copy the contents and paste into an editor that supports changing case of names.

Or you could use one of the many freeware programs designed for specific renaming needs.

1-4a-Rename is my favourite (no installation, standalone, does even the weirdest renamings).

not necessarily, although it would save you time. Merging is not rocket science by far   a simple DOS copy command would suffice to merge files into a single one thus:

Code Sample

copy split.000+split.001 merged

Don't forget the /b switch though if you're trying to join binaries or other non-text-files.
