Any interest in a batch file renamer in KIO?

[Chinmoy Pradhan]

Hi,

A few years back I worked on a BatchRenameJob for KIO[1]. From a cursory
glance yours seems to have more features.

Can you have a look at BatchRenameJob and see if you could add the features
there?
Or are we talking about two different things here?

Regards,
Chinmoy
