This week has been spent working on the FWFileRepManager class. It is, essentially, a controller class for all things FWFileRep-related (formally CDFileRep, as seen in a prior post), which includes handling the list of file paths one may be interested in, which is a unique and separate list to the list of files one may […]

For every file and folder a user of the program wants to potentially rename, one CDFileRepresentation stands in for that object. New file names are often derived from metadata of each individual file and folder of interest in a renaming session. For example, one […]
I feel I’ve been talking a lot of theory, but not showing anything for my work of late. Today is photo day. Perhaps you will glean a piece or two of information from these snapshots of my file_wrangler_2 design notes. They are (intentionally) fairly small and low-resolution as the intent is simply to reify the […]
I believe I’ve narrowed in on the basic building blocks of the new file_wrangler_2.

Some ideas turned out to be overly ambitious, some were unwieldy, some were just plain BAD […]

The basic, driving concept behind the design decisions is in understanding how to break down renaming tasks into discrete, actionable units. While studying similar software (A Better Finder Rename, Renamer, etc.) I […]
