I think most of my others are very personalised...they do things with programmes I have on my pc, etc
Name Swapper is another amazing creation!!!

So far Switcheroo http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.p ... o&m=Search is resembling the concept but unfortunately it does not support folders and your Name Swapper handles very nicely both files and folders.

A small improvement (if I may suggest it) would be if you could drag both files/folders in one go and just drop them both (together) over the GUI rather than having to drag&drop one file/folder at the time in the 2 separate boxes.

Everything you've asked for is now done:

That's my cue to leave and get back to the grid-stone.

All the best and I hope you have lots of pleasure from the programmes :)

Absolutely perfect!

Thanks again for both programs, for the unbelievable patience and for the very prompt response!

All the best to you and take care, buddy :mrgreen:

Thanks again, buddy (I owe you big time)... Over and out :wink:

Click on a window - then hold down the windows key and press numbers from the number-pad to position it. Pressing the same number again cycles through size-percentages.

Again - I made it for my own use, but if someone wants it...

Hello Napiophelios

Glad to hear it is of use to you - I can very easily change it to also works when NumLock is not engaged, if you would prefer.

While I am changing it - why not check to see if spicydog would be kind enough to design you a better icon? ;)

Let me know.

Ha ha ha... Please look me in the eyes (virtually speaking) and tell me you don't like the new icons of Win Sorter and Name Swapper :mrgreen:

Nappy -as far as I am concerned- is AWOL... I would be very surprised (but happy) to hear from him at least under his real identity ;)

In case you were missing my suggestions:

Simple Name Swapper - for files or folders <<-CHANGE the titlebar caption TO->> Name Swapper
Drag and Drop item 1 here. <<-CHANGE TO->> Item 1:
Drag and Drop item 2 here. <<-CHANGE TO->> Item 2:
Drag two files or folders into the boxes above <<-CHANGE TO->> Drag two files or two folders and drop them together anywhere into this panel
Click to switch names <<-CHANGE TO->> Click here to swap names between item 1 and 2

A nice touch would be if you could add somewhere on the GUI a small "Keep always on top" check box (already selected by default) :mrgreen:

Hi spicydog

Yep - I admit...I much prefer your icons :)

I really have to get back to work now, or I won't be ready for Monday - but I coudn't resist adding a quick "Keep always on top" tickbox for you.

http://www.speedyshare.com/files/245237 ... wapper.exe

Hope it helps - bye.

Yes, I understand that you couldn't resist... I would have felt the exact same way myself :mrgreen:

The reason why I suggested the new dialogs (which you only followed as far as the titlebar) was simply to offer the user a concise "How to" (I took advantages of the very broad button to do that).

Since you implemented that nice improvement that enables dropping 2 files/folders together (rather than one by one into each box) I thought that the new dialogs were more consistent with what (the current version of) Name Swapper does... The old dialogs might mislead the user into thinking that files/folders still need to be dragged one by one into each box.

Thanks for having added the tickbox... See you again next weekend, pal :mrgreen: and THANKS again for everything.


Yesterday I fixed some lists and archives on an external HDD and I used intensively both Name Swapper and Win Sorter (both extremely useful) and guess what I have for you? :mrgreen: ...

...New suggestions:

Drag and Drop item 1 here. <<-CHANGE TO->> Item 1:
Drag and Drop item 2 here. <<-CHANGE TO->> Item 2:
Drag two files or folders into the boxes above <<-CHANGE TO->> Drag two files or two folders and drop them together anywhere into this panel
Click to switch names <<-CHANGE TO->> Click here to swap names between item 1 and 2



NO LONGER NEEDED -->> A nice touch would be if you could add somewhere on the GUI a "Clear boxes" button (if you accidentally drop the wrong file/s or folder/s the only way to clear the box/es -without swapping names- is to close and restart the program... So that button would be quite handy). THANKS TO SlowLearner's hint (see next post):

Thanks for that spicydog some good software

I'll try and have a look at the other software over the weekend.

BTW - did you know, with the name changer if you drag another file into the box, it automatically updates the item
(no need to close)
