Wow, this looks rather useful! Would you consider adding a way to have multiple find-and-replace strings set?
For a reference, this is how the feature looks like in KRename:

Nice!
That looks more like something that should âjustâ open if you choose rename on severall files at once in the default install : )

That would allow for completely automatic batch renaming. I think something like this could be useful, however, not very often. I might accept patches for this one, though. Iâd think something like this would make more sense in the CLI.
In any case, I would find it much more important to be able to store rename configurations for future reuse. It currently only stores the last one which makes it not that convenient.

Windows has a very nice PowerToy that does exactly this⌠I donât use it all the time but when I do its a life saver.
I have published the package for GrafX2 v2.9.
GrafX2 is a pixel art editor. It started its life in 1996 on MS-DOS. Back in 2007, I couldnât find a good pixel art editor for Linux (this was before I started using/contributing to Haiku), so I took GrafX2 sources (that the authors had publised in 2001 when stopping work on the project) and ported it to Linux and SDL (and also to big endian machines as I was using a PowerPC system back then).
Releases are not done very often because there is not much left to improve in it after all those years. However, there were a number of bugfixes, library updates, and some improvements in better support of C64, CPC, Apple IIgs and Atari TT picture formats.

I have published version 1.26 of the Renga XMPP client.
XMPP is a messaging protocol that is in particular used for chat/instant messaging. Renga is a fork of the Jabber4BeOS client and uses the gloox library as a backend to implement XMPP features.
This new release includes:
- Several crash fixes found after the previous version was released and tested by more than 1 person (me)
- An update for the latest version of libcss (this makes XHTML-IM styling work again, in particular this is used by the IRC bridge for converting IRC colors)
- Fix highlighing of nickname when there is no âreferenceâ in the message (in this case we just detect the nickname is present in the message)
- Improve the size of the split views on the left and right of the main window
- Implement XEP-0368 which allows to speed up the connection to the server by directly using TLS (instead of STARTTLS on a clear connection initially)
This XEP was the last missing one for XMPP âcore compliance advanced clientâ level. The next level will be âcore IM basic clientâ, which means mainly improvements in the multi-user chat (group chat) handling: nickname conflicts, moderation tools, setting room topics, inviting users, ⌠as well as allowing sharing images and other files by HTTP file uploads to the XMPP server. Thatâs on the TODO list for next time I decide to work on it.

Great work, but it is still not in HaikuDepot yet!
A nice icon would be great to have, anyone good in designing?
Itâs in HaikuDepot since a long time, actually: https://depot.haiku-os.org/#!/pkg/batchrename/haikuports/haikuports_x86_64/0/2/0/-/1/x86_64 (there is a 32bit version as well).
Iâve installed it from there already shortly after the recipe got merged.
But an icon would be nice, indeed

Ah, ok I see, I installed it a month ago and forgot that it is called:
batchrename
in HaikuDepot, that way I could not find it!
But why I could not find it using ârenameâ in HaikuDepot search-bar?
Thank you very much for your great apps!
Let me guess. You fired up HaikuDepot and typed search pattern before it ended to refresh depotsâŚ
As most of you around here already know, Iâve been doing some KDE stuff in the last months
So as a result there now is KF6 (KDE frameworks) in the depot, this paves the way to update existing KDE software to the new frameworks and some new applications that havenât been around yet.
At the moment there are still some build updates for LLVM17 and Qt5 in the pipeline, once those are merged and build I guess a few KPim6 frameworks need to be added to add Itinerary 24.05.0 to the depot. Alsmost there.
For the record, the KF6 frameworks werenât possible if it wasnât for the work done on the KF5 frameworks in the past and lately. So kudos to all involved there!

OK, first KDE KF6 application/game has hit the depot, Knetwalk 24.05.0 has arrived, be awayre that itâs using Qt6 and the KF6 frameworks, so installing the game will bring some extra packages to the system (if not already installed).
Enjoy! (got a lot of pleasure playing it when I couldnât do any other stuff on the laptop) 
As a request, KRuler 24.05.0 is now also added to the depot, same here, build with KF6/Qt6, so expect some new packages to be installed. (fwiw, I tend to build ânewâ KDE packages that arenât around yet for KF6, the existing ones will stay on KF5/Qt5 up to the point they canât be build anymore there).
