3. FAQ
Why can't I change the case of some files/directory ? If you are trying to rename them on a vfat (FAT32) partition there's a limit, you can only change the case when there is more than 8 characters. It is a limitation of the vfat partition and nothing can be done about it.
Why can't I go in an hidden directory or why can't I see an hidden file? This is a limitation of the GTK-Perl code, on the other hand, these kind of directories and files are usually used for configurations and should not be modified.
How can I change the fonts in GPRename ? I personally like having the courier font when renaming files. To do so, create ~/.gtkrc.mine and add this in it : style "user-font" { font="-adobe-courier-bold-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" } widget_class "*" style "user-font"
