Introduction by the developer
This is by far the largest update to Advanced Renamer since version 3.0 was released in 2011. A lot of code has been
redesigned and rewritten. About six months ago, I released the first version of the program supporting MacOS, but the problem
was that I then had two code bases to maintain. Version 4.0 is actually the Mac version backported to Windows, so to
support both platforms with a single code base.
I went on a code bender to implementing extraction of metadata myself, instead of having to rely on third party tools and
libraries. It was both very fun and challenging, and I ended up added support for 64 different file extensions
(some are the same format), and I will add even more in the coming months.
Some features have been very time consuming or very difficult to implement, so I had to leave a few behind for now. I am
at a point where I just want this out into the hands of users. I can spend a lot of time nitpicking and polishing small
aspects of the program, but sometimes you have to stop and release. I still have a list of user requested features and
changes which I will implement during the next couple of months.
Instructions on upgrading from version 3.xx
When installing version 4.0 it will replace any existing version 3.x on your computer. The settings are saved in a
different location, making it possible to later downgrade to version 3.x without losing your settings. If 3.x settings
are found on startup, the program will ask if you want to import them. Methods, license key, and most program settings
are imported.
Beta status
This version has been tested over several months, but a lot of stuff has been reimplemented for this release, making the chance
of bugs higher. Please report any bugs or issues you encounter, by using the support link in the menu.
Please include program version and operating system version in your request. Screenshots are also very helpful.
For the most part, the program is backwards compatible with version 3.xx, but some features have been removed or changed.
Since I don't collect any statistics from the program, I don't know how many users are using these features. If you are using
a feature that has been significantly altered or removed, and you miss how it worked in 3.x, please let me know by using the
support link.
I hope you will enjoy this new version of Advanced Renamer. I have put a lot of effort into it. Many more features will be added in the upcoming months.
