Description Matthew Forrester 2002-11-18 22:47:01 UTC 
I often find myself in a situation where I have to
rename loads of files from "track1.ogg",
"track2.ogg" to "01 -- Artist Name -- Song
Name.ogg" , "02 -- Artist Name -- Song Name.ogg"
(I have a big music collection). In explorer I can
press F2 to get it to rename a file and then
highlight " -- Artist Name -- " and press ^C, then
when I have to rename "track3.ogg" I can press F2,
Del, 0, 2, ^V S, o, n... (You see the point?).  I
guess this is due to the use of components (the
text under the icon's seems non-standard as
opposed to standard gnome). I don't know if many
other people do this trick but it seems really
handy to me.

Not an enhancement, but brokenness in my opinion - especially as it works as
expected in the icon view. Adjusting fields accordingly.
