It has been a while since dedicating myself to my dear freeware utilities but, like Terminator movie, I know.. "I'll be baaack" Well, I've been receiving some emails from long time - read 12+ year users, and that alone was so heart warming that I had to try to program again, in spite of all the difficulties..

So 'File renamer' freeware has been updated to version 1.2.5.4 now.

First it has been brought up to date to Windows.Common-Controls v3 newer versions, meaning it'll work better with newer Windows version 'Open' file dialogs - hopefuly..

There was a long time bug that got solved at last: whenever drag'n'drop was being used to drag a folder's name to Renamer, that "All Files" button should load *all* files inside that folder, recursively, folder after sub-folder.. It didn't, now it does!

It has also received some interface touches and improvements - some less visible than others, and a few more less important things..

Slowly it'll get better for all of us and, hey!, thank you so much to all the long time users, because that's what makes it so worth while keeping improving this! And I really mean it, truly, from my heart!

And, as always, this and all other freeware downloads are - and will always be - available from the freeware page.

And as we are at it, just a small notice with a couple of links from 3rd party sites that test and make sure our freeware is secure to install and use. Among those there is the very well known Softpedia.com and also the NewFreeDownloads.com. You can go to either of those and check the full report about this great 'File Renamer' freeware
           

They say, and I'm quoting Softpedia, ... Softpedia guarantees that File Renamer 1.2.1.5 is 100% CLEAN, which means it does not contain any form of malware, including spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors.
 

Just as well, this is a very well written HowTo explaining how to 'pay' for free software. Just read it, and see if you agree with it, as it really describes well what most people think - mistakenly - FREE software does mean...

You can also read the official Free Software Definition from The Free Software Foundation, as a matter of fact...
