I have about about a half dozen folders to rename. After unzipping a batch of audiobook zip files from LibriVox.org.
The unzipped folders have another folder inside with the exact same name. Example:
Michael Crichton - The Andromeda Strain
Michael Crichton - The Andromeda Strain
(file list)
I want the outer file to drop the book title from the folder name and drop the author name from the inner folder like this:
Michael Crichton
The Andromeda Strain
(file list)
This is typically an easy task using a small RegEx. The problem is, I get the could not rename error message when I press the Rename button:
"Item 'L:\Audiobooks\SciFi\Michael Crichton - The Andromeda Strain' could not be renamed. Error: Access Denied."
The doesn't say WHY it can't access the file, just that it can't. I went into Windows File Explorer to see what is causing the difficulty. I expected to find the read only attribute set, it was not. I don't have any open files inside the folders. I renamed one of the folders BRU wouldn't rename, in Explorer, with no difficulty. In short, I find NO REASON for this error message. Back in BRU, I refreshed both the tree and the files, then proceeded to (try to) rename the remaining folders in BRU.
Frustratingly, It gave me the exact same error message. I then tried to rename the folder I had renamed in Explorer. BRU gave me the exact same error message for this file as well. Accewss wasn't denied in Explorer, so I should not have been denied in BRU, but it was.
I find this happens from time to time, but it is usually only a single folder/file that returns this message.
- MY SUGGESTIONS -
-Please have BRU errors give an error number and provide a list of what each error number represents.
-Also (this one is only a minor irration but it is a bug none the less): When I highlight a consecutive list of file names to rename, if I then untag one file name from the list, BRU also untags a seemingly random file name from the highlighted list. Same thing if I go one file name too far and back it up the one position.
-Lastly, I too, would like to see a dark mode.
Thank you for your time and effort,
Mike
