2.6) Renaming Completed

Click here for larger screen shot.

After renaming was completed you will see a dialog like the one below (hopefully without the error messages). The dialog shows which errors did occur (if any did occur) and how many files where renamed succesfully. In this case I got some errors because the files I tried to rename would overwrite other files and KRename does not overwrite existing files by default.

You could instantly undo the operation by pressing Undo. This does even work for remote files contrary to the undo shell script. But as soon as you close this dialog, KRename will quit and the option to undo will be lost. The instant undo button in this dialog will be disabled if decided to copy your files to a new location or to create symbolic links (advanced mode only), as undoing is as easy as deleting all copied files.

Rename More... allows you to rename either all files again our just the processed or unprocessed one. You can also start a fresh instance of KRename from there.

Open Destination... opens the destination directory in Konqueror so that you can see the results in the filemanager.
