Context Menu Integration

macOS (Finder)

How It Works

1. Right-click any file or folder in Finder
2. Go to Quick Actions (or Services)
3. Click Rename with RenameClick
4. Files are sent to the Rename Workspace for processing

Setup

Context menu integration is installed automatically on first app launch. No manual configuration needed.

Technical details:

• Automator Quick Action workflows are installed to ~/Library/Services/
• Workflows are version-tracked and auto-updated when the app updates
• The Quick Action writes selected paths to a temp JSON file, then triggers the app via renameclick:// deep link

What You Can Send

• Single files
• Multiple files (select several, right-click)
• Folders (scanned recursively for supported file types)
• Mixed selections (files + folders)
• Files with unicode characters or spaces in paths

Windows (File Explorer)

How It Works

1. Right-click any file or folder in File Explorer
2. Click Rename with RenameClick (on Windows 11: under "Show more options")
3. Files are sent to the Rename Workspace for processing

Setup

Context menu integration is installed automatically on first app launch. Registry entries are auto-updated when the exe path changes.

Behavior

App Not Running

If RenameClick isn't running when you use the context menu:

1. The app launches
2. Waits for the AI model to be ready
3. Then processes the selected files

App Running (Minimized/Tray)

If RenameClick is already running:

1. The window activates and comes to the front
2. Files are delivered to the Rename Workspace immediately
