GwenRename

GwenRename is a series (batch) renaming tool. It was created as an external tool for GwenView, the image viewer for KDE, but it can be used from Dolphin and Konqueror as well. As that, the files to be renamed are passed to it as command line parameters, through the service menu mechanism.
It supports EXIF data extraction, file's timestamping and use of profiles.

How to use it:
GwenView: select file(s) - right click - "External Tools / Rename with GwenRename" (currently not applicable)
Dolphin/Konqueror: select file(s) - right click - "Actions / Rename with GwenRename"

This bug affects packagers only, so if you installed from source, it won't interest you.
If you are a packager, please update to this release in order to provide consistent packages for your distro.
I am really sorry for the inconvenience

- Updated the link to the Mandriva 2007.1 rpm by Gerardo Bueno. For bug reports regarding this rpm please contact its packager

GwenRename 1.1-beta1:
====================
- Added the ability to convert spaces to underscore/dash

This is the first release of a series of beta releases, until I implement all the features
I want to add to version 1.1. These features are:
- Ability to convert spaces to underscore/dash - added to the current release
- Ability to add/remove files to the list of files to be renamed
- Ability to select and use part of the original filename for renaming

Each beta release will implement one of these features, and will be released only after it
has been thoroughly tested. So each beta release can be considered stable but not "fully featured"
