RFC (Request for Comments) for JMoveIt

JMoveIt Public Beta

JMoveIt is a program for Multi-Monitor setups with only two functions. See the above link for a description of what it does.

The Monitor Watcher feature needs testing on multiple different systems. The way it works is highly dependent on the way Windows reports events. It can respond to a Monitor Power State change or a Resolution Change. The Power State works for a Display Port connected monitor, but may not work for other connections. It depends on the drivers of the monitor. The Resolution Change is a backup method that is only likely to work if one monitor has a different resolution or scaling settings.

I need feedback about this feature. It could perform way better or way worse than I suspect. I've included a Debug window that will tell me about the timing of Windows reported events. This information could be helpful as well as a description of the scaling/resolutions/connect types of the monitors.

I've worked on this program for a few months behind the scenes. It's a niche utility that I use a lot, especially when one monitor is turned off. I suspect not many users have a multi-monitor setups and I suspect most of those users also don't have setups that would need this utility.

Rename Master Official Release

Version 4.01 or Rename Master has been officially released. This is a small update to address some bugs and add a few quality of life features.

Keyboard navigation has been improved and the Breadcrumb Filepath can now be navigated with keystrokes. Experimental support for Dark Mode has been added. A new command line option has been created to support renaming a single file. This will allow things like executing RM via an Explorer Context Menu. The JavaScript Step has been updated to support Unicode, so you can use scripts to handle things like specific capital letters or character mapping.

Rename Master Official Release

Version 4.00 of Rename Master has been officially released. The main new feature for this release is a new JavaScript Renaming Step. The other main improvement is the reduced startup time. The rest of the features are quality of life additions and bug fixes.

The JavaScript Renaming Step is a way for advanced users to create functionality missing in the program. Included edit window are Example Scripts to show off how the features work and how flexible this feature is. For example, there's a long requested feature to do number math. There's a script that will increment all found numbers in the filename.

To pass information to the script, there's an optional object field in the Renaming Step. The syntax will be familiar for those that use JavaScript: {field1:"value1", field2:"value2"}. The program will automatically detect any optionalObject["field"] names in the script and generate the optional object. If you copy/paste an one of the example scripts, this autogeneration makes it simple even for users that don't know JavaScript.

A lot of work has been put into this version to reduce the start up time of the program. On my system, the time was reduced by at least 60%. Optionally, you can remove the Renaming Steps in the default script for an additional speed increase. The old "RM-" script format support has been removed. These have not been used in years and the feature added several seconds to the startup time.
