Jul 15, 2011 at 13:08 comment added Thomas Ward Mod I agree with @Marco on this. There's really no solid justification for splitting rename items into meta-tags.
Jul 15, 2011 at 13:06 comment added Marco Ceppi Mod I think the current tag is sufficient as there are only 10 rename questions splitting it now will just make meta-tags

Jul 15, 2011 at 11:52 comment added Thomas Ward Mod Further, the rename tag is technically sufficient for those questions - it does pertain to renaming files, whether with the F2 button, using the CLI (mv name newname), and mass-renaming. As such, I believe we should have moderators weigh in on this prior to any action.
Jul 15, 2011 at 11:49 comment added Thomas Ward Mod I'd be for a mass-rename or batch-rename tag. But again, we should never create a tag for just a package or program unless its needed for support of those programs. Since it is not for those programs a more generic tag is needed, such as batch-rename. And we can't change currently-existing tags, so you're SOL on changing rename to rename-f2 (which makes no sense anyways to have).
Jul 15, 2011 at 4:58 comment added Syborgia Alphas There were several questions on batch renaming, in which the rename tag was not sufficient. In these questions, Krename and pyRenamer were the recommends. I wanted to edit and add a batch rename tag - but can't do to my rep limitations. Tags referring to batch renaming would be helpful. So if not, Krename or pyRename - specific to the packages, then a general rename (F2) and rename-batch.
