Well it's now been exactly two months since I started programming Bram according to the comments in my code. (No, I didn't plan for that, it's a coincidence.) But believe me, it's been much longer since I started designing the program itself. I probably spent at least a month and a half figuring out how I wanted Bram to work before even starting to code. But finally, after two months of hard work, without further ado, I present Bram, the Batch Renamer and Mover!

First and foremost, a HUGE thanks goes out to Jim Parsells, who has been extremely invaluable in the creation of Bram! He's the one who made the treeview component you see in Bram, which also provides it's filesystem monitoring ability as well. You can read about that in more detail on the Special Thanks page.

Now obviously since this is a new release, it'd be quite ludicrous for me to go into detail about every feature of Bram in this blog post. (It's be too long since I have the tendency to ramble on about extra things.) So instead, I think you'd be better off going to the Bram program page and reading through it yourself.

I suppose I can provide a link to the Bram changelog, although all it says right now is "Initial Release", so I wouldn't bother.

Have fun with Bram! If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, don't forget to submit them using the contact form!

(For those of you who run software mirror sites that read this blog, note that the PAD file for Bram is at the bottom of the Bram page as per usual. If you have a chance to grab it before 4 pm tomorrow shoot me an email so I don't resubmit it when I distribute Bram to the various mirror sites. It know it's one extra thing to do but it'd help me a ton!)

    As stated before, I won't be providing feature updates yet, so going to the Bram page won't be of much help to you as of now. But I will say here that this update took a long time because I wanted to be able to actually show a significant increase from the last beta.
    Now I know it might not look like I added much since the only new things are under the listview, but the amount of code has grown by about 1000 lines, so I have been busy.
    You'll notice that while you can preview things, you can't actually apply them yet. (Therefore you can't undo anything yet either.)

    I've yet to write the code for either the applying process or the undoing process. Once I do those two things and test it for a while, I'll release a stable build. So there might be one more beta, or there might not be.

    I've already got a decently sized list of features I plan on adding in the future after the first stable release, but now that you can see things coming together a bit better, I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have!
    In addition, there are currently only a few reasons for me to pick up my Folder Axe code once I've released a stable Bram build. Keep sending in those suggestions!!
    For both, as always, use the Contact Form. Have a great day!
