You can't.

The closest you can get is by creating your own language/translation instead of English (using a template) where you can partially replace some of the texts in this dialog. No adding text though.

thanx NotNull for the answer,

no i will not do the translation template trick.. very corky

i hope i can add to this menu and rearrange it in the future releases,

i use this dialog to rename by parent folder, trim extra spaces, remove diacritics characters, regex name normalization and more,

i do all these tasks by fixed preset phrases i made before and kept it as text file ..

importing and using these presets from this menu is a big help and quality improvement..

Thàt is something that can be done: left to the black triangle you can click the drop-down arrow ( V ) for old format and new format.
When you click it, a list with previous used patterns will be shown to select from.


You could even add a desription for the new format (not the old one, unfortunately), by using a dummy (preprocessor) function that has no effect as follows (example):

Code: Select all

Old format = %1.%2
New format = [undef:my description]%1___%2
(this will rename name.extension to name___extension), ignoring the [undef:my description] part



BTW: Rename-set "bookmarks" are on the to-do list

ya i know that, but selecting from this drop-down list will not add-in to what is exist on the text filed but replace it, this usually miss-up the rename process.
