Hi,

I'm trying to use "random names" to change the names of a folder, and everything in it (more folders & files) to random names.

When I drag the top-level folder to Ant Renamer, it adds everything, but when I tell it to "go", it only changes the name of the top level folder. All the stuff inside doesn't get renamed.

Under "Drag & Drop" options, everything is selected to add folders, files, subfolders/files, etc.

I suspect what's happening is that the top-level folder is getting renamed first, and then after that nothing else can be found (because now it's in a different directory).

If I just add only the files, but none of the folders or subfolders, all the files at every level are renamed randomly (a good thing).

Thanks!

Hi,
Yes, it is a known bug. You have to either invert the sort, or just put the folders at the end.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

Great program by the way. It's rare to find a program that does everything you need, intuitively, powerfully, and effectively.

Just remembered that I wanted to donate for your program. Thanks again for a great product. I've used it a lot and found it very useful.
