I wanted to add the date in a specific format to thousands of files which I had to do in chunks (because of the note (1) above, I think) - and I had to set each of the six drop down menus manually each time. thanks again</p> Great App, thank you. 2 comments: 1. the app seems to quit (or at least immediately and prematurely ‘complete’) of its in own accord in some circumstances. i think it’s when the combined path in the directories chosen is too long. is that right? 2. a ‘save config’ would be lovely.
