Manual Multi-Rename Pane : double-clicking word immediately before extension

[meteorquake]

In the bulk renamer dialog you can manually rename the transformed file list in the lower half.
If you double-click a word that's immediately followed by the extension it selects not just the word but the extension too.
In terms of utility, it would be best if it just selects the word in the base name without selecting the extension since the extension is invariably going to be wanted to be left alone.
Perhaps a triple-click could also select the whole base name (everything except the extension).

I will trial my own word selection for the multi-rename filename edit controls in the next alpha update.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Cheers! There's one other addition that would help.
It's quite helpful for large file list renames to select all then copy the contents of the lower pane, paste into one's favourite Notepad (eg Notepad4), edit, paste them back, commit the rename, because Notepads have features like rectangular selections, manual find-replace, etc.
Anything that makes that process easier would help, though there are a few ways that come to mind, for example -
* lower pane edit box could have a copy button, when you click it it selects all and copies the contents for pasting somewhere. When you come to paste back you can just paste because the area is still selected.
* Perhaps it could select all and launch as a temp file in one's Notepad (exe set in options), then you could paste it back when done or it could detect you closed the notepad and the temp file has been altered and update back if you hadn't altered the content in the lower pane whilst in Notepad (if you had then it would need to ask to update-overwrite or not).

Another thought! If you're doing your own coding on it, it would be good for there to be ctrl-shortcuts to make any selection uppercase, lowercase, titlecase etc just like in the results-list rename of a single file.

I will consider a copy button.
I would like to keep this dialog simple and clean.

I will consider a button or shortcut to open the list of new filenames in your default text editor.

Will do for the next update.

Thanks for the suggestions.
