Provide for batch renaming of files a' la ExplorerXP and simple *.txt filelists with customizable colums

See Comment #?? posted but has not yet appeared in comment list...so here it is again

After a brief look and a bit of exploring, this program certainly has its uses to better understand disk content. This is what Windows Explore should have been in the first place, but lost many of these features as it has been dumbed down over the years.

This being said, I have two comments.

1.) I normally use dual monitors, so Amy's comment (#24) is somewhat of a concern. I am back to a single monitor at the moment owing to the death of my second monitor and the arrival and installation of its replacement (32" LED LCD 1080P HDTV) which is on its way. If this program bombs out with the second monitor installed, I will have no choice but to uninstall it.

2.) It seems that the DiskAnalyzer developers have solely focused on identifying space utilization of a disk. There are other unmeet needs which are not addressed by the lame Windows Explore as well.

For example, Windows Explore has no ability to batch rename files or to manipulate file names except one at a time, and neither does DiskAnalyzer, AFAIK.

I have used ExplorerXP, a now unsupported and un-updated piece of freeware http://www.explorerxp.com/, to do this.

ExplorerXP works well in XP, but less so in Vista, where it works for what I want to do, which is mostly batch renaming of files and to prepare and/or print an occasional file list (as a *.txt file which is added to its relevant folder.) This batch rename feature is most useful when dealing with large collections of similar files such as audio files, particularly audio books, and with pictures as well.

Also, I did not see a feature to just give me a simple filelist.txt report of a folder's contents in DiskAnalyzer without a lot of fancy and unwanted data detail (e.g. there is no way AFAIK to suppress unwanted columns like "Size on Disk" and Attributes, and to keep filenames text boxes from folding, which makes for a longer printout, etc.)

While one has a lot of options of what to include in a filelist, for some reason one is limited to .html, .csv, and .xml outputs. You forgot good old-fashioned .txt! *.txt is much easier to print without having to import a .csv file into a spreadsheet to clean it up by getting rid of unwanted columns etc.

Also would it not make more sense to have the default filelist be saved to the same (and more relevant) folder for which one is preparing the filelist?

As it is now, it is the last
