When I have a list of files - and I only want to rename SOME of the files - I use the mouse to select the files that I want to work with and click [Go]. The [String Insert] action is applied to ALL of the files in the list - not just the selected files.
Am I seeing the expected behavior? Or should Ant Renamer respect the file selections that I made?
The list seen in the "Files" tab is the files to rename.
So it is the normal behaviour.
If you only want to rename some, you should add only some to the list.
Selections can be done to move/remove files in the list.
