~~Title: Rename Actions ~~
<pageheader/>

The **actions** section of the Rename dialog is where you can enable other rename actions besides the primary pattern-based operation (which is controlled by the **[[rename_modes|mode]]** section of the dialog).

The options that you enable here will affect your rename operation no matter which of the primary modes you've chosen. The transformations are applied after your pattern-based operation (you can think of the rename procedure as happening from top-to-bottom down the Rename dialog).

  * **Capitalization**: Modify the capitalization of filenames - the options (with built-in examples) are: //all lower-case//, //ALL UPPER-CASE//, //Capitalize All Words//, //Capitalize first word//, //lower-case extens.ion//, //upper-case extens.ION//.
  * **Macro**: Commands that can add, remove, copy and paste characters from defined positions in each filename. The macro language is a bit unwieldy to write macros by hand, which is why there's a built-in [[~rename_macros|macro recorder]] to do the difficult work for you. When you record a macro the commands are written to this field, and can be saved to presets for re-use.
  * **Numbering from**: Adds an incrementing number to existing files (or replaces the filename entirely with a number). See [[~numbering_files|Numbering Files]] for more details.
  * **Edit Script**: Indicates if a rename script has been defined and lets you open the built-in [[rename_scripts|Rename Script]] editor, which lets you write scripts in VBScript, JScript, etc. to completely control the rename process.
