Topic: Log feature. Export results to an text file.

How difficult is it to implement a simple log feature?

i.e.
after i start to rename
and before Siren renames in real
it exports the original and the new names into an text file.


_Siren.log:
Old name:New name


Optionally enable this in Siren.ini:
Log=1
LogFile=%tmp%\_siren.log


Maybe check on program start the size of this log file and warn the user
or create for each day an new log (_Siren_20061214.log)


What do you think?

You can already copy (Ctrl+P) the selected file list and paste it somewhere. It can include the current and future names.
Making this feature automatic ... i am not sure ... nobody asked me for this and personally i've never needed it.

Well it would be a "backup feature" to undo mistakes.

Ahh, there! Thanks.
I tried "Names only" only.
Why not include "future names" with Ctrl+Shift+P too? Have "names only" an other meaning?

Re: Log feature. Export results to an text file.

You're right. For me "Names only" was meaning "Only the current file names" ...
I'll change this.

Why only the "current names" ?
Because it can be handy to copy some file names in a directory and paste them somewhere else.
