Ahh, typers vs clickers holywar :roll: :)

I am on clickers' side and already use Double Commander but it can rename files only in one folder at a time (not recursively in nested folders). Or maybe I missed something in its UI?

I guess, that it is supposed to work with search results. Maybe if you search directory for filenames and then select rename tool, it will go for files in several directories. Though I am not going to install it to check.

Double Commander's batch editing works from search results (as you described), but multi-rename is separate tool opened for currently highlighted files/folders and I could not find a way to run this multi-rename tool recursively.

Anyway, I am patient enough to do it by hand so it is not a show-stopper )

It should be doable in Double Commander. First you do recursive search, then send all found files to panel, and then they should work like if they all were in single directory.

If you can't do that, try updating Double Commander to latest version.

this is the only step which is unclear to me. what particular panel do you mean? could you please post a screenshot with "send to panel" button/menuitem/etc highlighted or otherwise marked?

Are there any strong reasons to have files named like that?
another reason I forgot about: files like ...-1, ...-0 etc reference respective ...-(media) files which should be imported before they can be referenced. "(" helps to make them import first because numbers follow "(" in alphabetical (ANSI?) order. now I have to either find other character that is treated as "before numbers in alphabetical order" or otherwise make ...-(media) files import before respective numbered files

version 0.5.2 is published for BfW 1.10.7 and 1.12.x

changes:

- added "trade nexus" rule: if leader of side is sufficiently far from map's edges at the start of side's turn then given side gets a bit of extra income, amount of extra income is shown in income indicator (located at top panel to the right for most UI themes) summed up with gold loss from "corruption" rule
- added right-click option for showing menu that allows to enable/disable automatic messages produced by some custom rules
- fixed bug: thanat drifter lacked some sounds because of typo
- fixed warnings that did not affect end-user experience except maybe slowing down things a tiny bit (thanks to wayirr for suggestion to check stderr.txt file):
invalid WML array index (was caused by unit-trait-badges.cfg)
reference to non-existent rect id (was caused by main-ui-theme.cfg)

ad-hoc recruiting: leaders can recruit units in windmills and owned villages when they stand next to them,

does that really work. was looking for something similar for a long time.

it is scripted using BfW's dialogue system which was not really meant for such a job. recruiting from standard recruiting window anywhere except in castle seems to require changing BfW's source code...

version 0.5.2 is published for BfW 1.14.0

the only change compared to versions published for BfW 1.10.7 and 1.12.6 is shortened description because BfW hangs when era with very long description is chosen on multiplayer game creation screen
