Description

Consolidating a number of requests on File Renaming into a new ticket.

Given the sheer volume of different requests, it simply isn't practical to implement individual options for them all
This suggestion covers a larger subset of the overall requests we have without the need to use the "When Done" feature or over complicating the UI.

  • Remove "Replace underscores with space"
  • Remove "Remove common punctuation".
  • Replace a 3 column data grid

Example:

Find Replace Enable Regex
_ [space] No
([0-9]*) Some Text \1 - TEST YES

References: #3433 #3472

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests; start by reviewing the current file-renaming UI and references #3433 and #3472. Compare the existing options with the proposed Find/Replace/Enable Regex grid, then confirm that the listed options are replaced and the consolidated workflow covers the referenced requests.
