### 1/5 — keeps crashing

*2020-06-25*

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

### 2/5 — Works but it’s SO SLOW

*2017-10-17*

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.

### 5/5 — Help or bug

*2026-07-14*

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

**Developer response:** thank you for your feed! and the requested feature is added in new version now.
