File name
The file name shown is the name of the cursored file. When the Name button is pushed with a file selected, a file rename mode is entered with an edit file name entry field presented and the button is labeled 'Rename'. The file name is validated as it is entered. The Rename button changes color if the field is edited. Pushing the Rename button after the name is edited renames the selected file.
If the Name button is pressed with multiple files selected, the pushbutton will be titled Rename Files versus Rename for a single file. Wildcards may then be used to rename all selected files using the pattern entered. If a rename conflict exists, the function will error out without renaming any files beyond that point. Use '?' to retain the existing character(s) at the respective location in the existing name and '*' to retain existing characters up to the next '.' in the name. For example, '*.bk2' would rename all files with the existing name but change all extensions to 'bk2'. Using abc*.* will change the first 3 characters to 'abc' and leave the rest of the file names unchanged. Unless the '*' is used, the length of the name cannot be changed.
See Rename Files for other methods of renaming multiple selected files.
The Name function may also be used to change the case of all selected files. To change the case, first select the file(s), then push the Name button. Then press the button again while holding down the Shift key for upper case or the Ctrl key for lower case.
File subject
The edit window is also used to edit file subjects. The operation is basically the same as file Rename after the subject edit mode is entered. To enter a file subject edit mode, use Shift E or click with the RMB in the file Attributes window. While in this mode the pushbutton is labeled with 'Subject'. Subjects are limited to 40 characters.
Sort on Name
A LMB click in left half of this window will sort the active file window with an ascending sort on file name. The left simulated LED immediately below it will be green.
A RMB click in left half of this window will sort the active file window with an descending sort on file name. The left simulated LED immediately below it will be green for an ascending name sort and red for a descending name sort.
Sort on Extension
A LMB click in right half of this window will sort the active file window with an ascending sort on file extension. The right simulated LED immediately below it will be green.
A RMB click in right half of this window will sort the active file window with an descending sort on file extension. The right simulated LED immediately below it will be green for an ascending extension sort and red for a descending extension sort.
If the active file window is sorted on another parameter, the simulated LEDs below it will be gray.
