Sub_title: batch file renaming tool		  
One thing I never liked about gfnrename is that it always starts in your home directory then you have to navigate to the directory you want to rename files in. I finally decided to see if I could hack the source code and it was easy enough to just add a line in callbacks.c.

Just before:
Code:
if(!strlen(Gbl->SrcDir))  strcpy(Gbl->SrcDir, Gbl->HomeDir);


I added the line:
Code:
sprintf(Gbl->SrcDir, "%s/", getenv("PWD"));


Now starting gfnrename from the command line it will open in the current directory. I'm sure there is a way to hack the code to add a directory as an argument so it will open in that specified directory but that is above my head as far as c code goes. It's easy enough to create a bash script and name it gfnrenameshell (or whatever you'd like) and run it from the command line using a directory as an argument. The script would be as simple as:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

if [ -d "$1" ]; then
   cd "$1"
fi

gfnrename &


It would be nice to have the code right in the program though. Incase anyone is interested I'll post the hacked gfnrename binary compiled in Racy 5.3 and the hacked source code.
