That is SOOOO cool !

Now, I only need to find out how to specify an alternate text editor to use.
(neither Notepad, nor Editor2 for this   )

Hmm so your solution for mass renaming is to (effectively) rename each file manually?

Perhaps the choice of text editor is not the biggest decision to make in this situation

as i said in the blog, this method is meant for hard cases, where there is little or no pattern that governs the mass rename. If you use a good text editor you can probably make things quicker using some search and replace command, possibly with regular expressions

fred you can just drag-drop the script file (as shown in the inactive pane of x2) to your editor of choise

ps i accidentally stumbled on this one from audacity blog recommending x2 mass renamer and its automatic counters
