Constantinos Nicolakakis Tool: SRename Version 3.7.1
Constantinos Nicolakakis has published the final version 3.7.1 of the tool 'SRename'. With this tool which works from AmigaOS 3.0+ you can easily rename files. In the new version some new features have been added and bugs fixed:

New features:

Added "Filename" (fn) selector to specify filenames that should be treated like filenames even if they contain wildcard characters. Normally SRename can process such filenames in recursion mode but only if they are present in the root directory, if they are not they are treated as wildcard patterns.
"Filename" makes it possible to look for and rename such filenames in recursion mode even if those filenames aren't present in the root directory.

Added secondary arguments to "Dirpat":
"Androot" (ar) causes the filenames in the starting (root) directory to also be renamed.
"Anddirname" (adn) causes the name of the directory that is entered with Dirpat to also be renamed.

Removed "Persistentdp" that was used together with "Dirpat" because it's behaviour is now the default for "Dirpat". Not having a persistent pattern for entering directories didn't have much use.

Recursion can now be used with non-wildcards, for example giving an ordinary filename to look for.

Bugfixes:

Corrected a bug in recursion where directories weren't always entered with "Dirpat" if the names of those directories were also to be modified.
To avoid this situation now directories are first entered and their contents renamed, and the names of those directories are modified afterwards.

Other changes:

The shell output has slightly changed in some instances.

The recursion bugfix has also caused slight changes to the shell output in recursion, such as that the name of a directory has to be printed again to avoid confusion if subdirectories in that directory were entered and filenames in that same directory are also to be renamed.
