ReNamer 7.9 has been released. This update focuses on improved long file path handling, a significant expansion of the Pascal Script function library, and a number of fixes and refinements throughout the application. The standout new feature is Long Path support. ReNamer now declares itself as Long Path Aware in its application manifest, and on systems with native long path support enabled, it will handle paths beyond the legacy 260-character Windows limit automatically with no additional configuration. For systems without native long path support, a new "Convert paths to long path specification" option in the settings offers an alternative, automatically prefixing added paths with a special prefix to raise the effective limit to 32,767 characters.

Other changes:

• Added new Pascal Script functions for hex encoding, hex decoding, and encoding conversion.
• Added many new Pascal Script string array functions: split, join, copy, append, insert, delete, find, and more — making it easier to manipulate collections of strings in custom renaming scripts.
• Sub-second timestamps are now extracted from EXIF data, useful for accurately renaming burst photos.
• Stricter matching of date/time patterns in the Reformat Date rule to reduce false positives.
• Fix: Invalid date/time pattern matches in the Reformat Date rule would cause an error instead of being skipped.
• Fix: Marked state did not visually update after marking files by mask.
• Fix: An unwanted red rectangle was drawn around the focused cell in the Mapping rule.
• Empty file paths are now skipped when importing list files.
• General optimizations to the import and export of renaming files.
• Added Bulgarian language file. Updated language files: Traditional Chinese, Corsican, Turkish, French, Russian. For more details see the full changelog between versions 7.8 and 7.9.
