How do I add the new names to the beginning of old ones instead of overwriting them? For example, I have 18 folders, and I want to add their names to the beginning of the ones from their respective files.

Hi Jalen,

Replace method:
TTBR: <Name>
RW: <Foldername><Name>

New name method:
New name: <Foldername><Name>

Add method:
Add: <Foldername>
At index: 1

Nothing checked, all apply to Name

Jalen,

Sorry, all three methods work for me. I see you are using an older version of the program; maybe you should upgrade to the latest version? But before you do that, try using <dirname> instead of <foldername>. I'm not sure which came first, but it's worth a try.

Best,
DF
