General
- add functionality to add/delete files
- rework Name_template saving functionality into global Preset (similar to Batch convert dialog)
- rename OK/Cancel buttons to Rename/Close
- actually Directory column is not that essential in this dialog (see Advanced Renamer UI below), but I left it in place for now.
A
- rearrange dialog layout to display more files on the screen
- remove 'Create new name template when opening dialog' as it does not required anymore
B
At that point it feels like, why not to use Batch convert instead - just add rename actions and new Filelist tab after Before/After in Preview.
Not sure, pro - all-in-one, cons - tool became more complicated.
- remove image preview as there are not that much space left
-- maybe show it as on_hover popup if required OR
-- add thumbnails to the filelist
- rework UI into Actions (same as in Batch convert)
C
- move Preset from bottom to the top
- use bottom space as status bar
- move Action up/down buttons to the top AND remove Enabled label for cleaner UI
D
- add Details collapsible pane (under filelist area) that appears on file selection
- add Error (or Status) column that indicates if there are any issues with renaming sequence (or file access)
E
- add Details pane on the right. Invokes via checkbox, can be sized as in Draw

i've tried Mockup E, but i think that dialog is too big.
Should the preview be resized?
Thoughts from other users?
In this dialogue the preview has only the control function, and is secondary. So the small preview is fine.
The most important thing is the filename column (old name -> new name). Sometimes I have long file names, and I would like to read them completely.
Having the column with the directory name is also very useful to me.
In my opinion, the D mockup (with preview below) can be enlarged to better read the file names and adding the directory.
