My project was Called "Tom". So I did a "vsrename Tom NewOne".
The project was Ok until I opened a Dialog. VC++ said me with error in XXXX.rc; I pushed the "Edit Code" button.
I saw that strings were not correctly replaced : BOTNewOneWIDTH. It was originaly BOTTOMWIDTH... 
So be carefull ! It took me less than 20 seconds to correct the rc file.
Great tool, it saves me hours of renaming files and editing thos files.
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the tool, it works (Platform Win32),
also with Solutions/projects from Visual Sudio .NET.
I remarked that the program does not detect the write-protected files.
I Solved the problem through the following changes the implementation:
sub renamer
{
my $filename = $File::Find::name;
return if ( $filename eq '.' );
return if ( -d $filename );
if ( -w $filename )
{
....... (original implementation)
else
{
print "FAILURE: $filename is write-protected, not replaced\n";
}
}

Firstly thanks for a great tool. 
I renamed the MSDN example WIZARD97 to TSetup2. The problem came when I realised it had changed the PSH_WIZARD97 flag to PSH_Tsetup2. It was easily fixed though.
Cheers

I used to do this by hand! Thanks!

This program saved me and my coworkers for a lot of work. Thank you!

I have been using your little utility alot lately. I have needed to copy and rename various projects (10+) and this little program has saved me countless hours. It has worked perfectly so far!
Thanks!

We have just release a new version,download at:

I'm confused, this seems like another program.
Might be worth a try dough.
|

Excellent work. This is ideal for when marketing people decide that they 'need' to change the name of a product we've worked on for months.
Once again, excellent work.
P.S. The GUI interface would be useful though

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! THANK GOD YOU PUT THIS TOGETHER!!!
Please excuse the capital letters, but I really can't say enough about this program.
(Especially after working so long on something that had a completely inappropriate project name. )

Well, for me I get the same problem as adws! I'm using Windows 98. Can't for the life of me get it to do more than flash a window on the screen. Any assistance gratefully received!

I used version v0.3 under WinNT 4: After renaming two different projects and recompiling the new ones, I always got the same linker error: defective RES-File.
I recopied all files in the res-folder except the myproject.ico, myproject.rc2, myprojectDoc.ico manually from the original project to the renamed one and the problem was gone, everything works fine!
|
|
|
|
|
I've just released a small update that should take care of
corrupted binary files.
Get v0.4 at:
http://www.daansystems.com/freestuff/
Hope it helps!
|
|
|
|
|
V0.4 works fine with one of the two projects, but not with the other one. VS6.0 SP1 crashes while loading the projects with a read access error. I use identical *.avi and *.ico files in the projects, the differences lie in the different bitmap files.
V0.3 with manual copying the res-files as described above works fine with both projects. (and identical names/pathes).

You probably need to do a 'Make Clean' before renaming the project.
It might help.
|
|
|
|
|
I tried it that way, but it didn't work. Thanks for the help.
|
|
|
|
|
I've just updated to v0.5, could you try that one on the binary files?
get it from:
http://www.daansystems.com/freestuff/

Hello Niek, sorry it took me some time to test v0.5 (holidays) but the good news is:  I have no more problems using vsrename with my projects (the two projects described above and others work fine).
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your work, now it's a very useful utility!!
|
|

It looks a very useful utility I like to use for my projects. So far I can't get the code works. Double clicking opens a window with a flash and disappears immediatly. On the command line the system reacts with a message of missing files. In the DOS window the message of the application appears but the operation on the files is not executed. I am not so familiar with DOS commands. How should I proceed exactly to get the code work ?
|
|
|
|
|
I too had trouble the first time I tried it, but discovered that Neik's webpage has a GUI called WSRename.exe that will get vsrename.exe to work. It worked quite well. You need both exes in the same directory.
I wish they would describe it in codeproject, it would have saved me a lot of time.

Hi,
very good application. We always use the same framework application in my company to start new projects so it will be extremely useful for us. Thank you very much.
On small problem : I think using the command line is a pity.
Can you make a windows dialog box application, or put the source code so that someone else (me for example) can do it?
Regards,
Arnaud

Why not write a gui app that launches the console and reads it's output into a text box?
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
You're right, I agree with you, it's possible to make an other app.
But then you need 2 executable files, it may not be necessary compared to the small GUI you need.
If we can't get the sources, then I'll do it your way.
Thanks,
Arnaud
