July 23, 2026

- New: Regex Capture Group Substitution - Full support for `$1`, `$2`, `$3` capture variables in Replace rule mode for advanced pattern transformation. - New: Duplicate File Mode - Added a user setting to create renamed copies of files instead of overwriting existing files in-place. - Improved: Folder Permission Handling - Automatic pre-flight permission checks with interactive folder prompts on iOS and macOS when security access is missing. - Improved: Transactional Undo Safety - Refactored undo history rollback to ensure history items are preserved if a file revert operation fails. - Fixed: Cross-Platform Security Scopes - Fixed thread-local security-scoped resource access and bookmark persistence across launches. - Fixed: Layout & UI Stability - Resolved geometry layout constraint warnings and fixed non-finite frame dimension calculation edge cases.

Help or bug

Hello, when executing the rename on iOS, no action happens after I click confirm? There is no history saved nor are the files renamed. It doesn't matter whether the files are in iCloud or on my iPhone. When clicking rename, each file flickers, but nothing happens.

Could you add a feature which allows one to choose whether the files are renamed in place or they are duplicated?

The "duplicate file" quick action doesn't work.

I also bought the full package. This app is very awesome.

Thanks

Edit: It has worked for me if I share a folder from the files app rather than open a folder from within the app


**********************************

Can you add capture groups in the regex search and replace feature? It would be very helpful to be able to use $1, $2, etc

keeps crashing

this app keeps crashing when running under 10.15.5 Catalina. was this tested?

Works but itโ€™s SO SLOW

All I wanted to do was append some characters on some video files. This application was doing it, but one file per 10 seconds or so. Gave up after 2 mins and force quit and did it manually.
