Right now, if there is a file in the ReadMe folder that contains the file list of the product, the Renaming Tool will delete it.  I assume it tried to rename it as a _Readme file, but if there is already a _Readme file in there the tool will delete one of them.

Could there be a functionality add to it that if it sees a file inside the ReadMe's folder that has Product List, or File List in the file name the tool will add what ever is in the "Text to add to file" text box in the File Rename tool to the beginning of the file name like it does for the _Readme and _License files it finds?  The two most common situations I would want this for are:

Code:
 Before Renaming Tool                              After Renaming Tool

ReadMe's (folder)                                  ReadMe's (folder)
    Readme (file)                                    SomeAsset_Readme (file)
    License (file)                                   SomeAsset_License (file)
    File list (file)                                 SomeAsset_File List (file)


and


  Before Renaming Tool                              After Renaming Tool

ReadMe's (folder)                                  ReadMe's (folder)
    Readme (file)                                        SomeAsset_Readme (file)
    License (file)                                       SomeAsset_License (file)
Product List (folder)                               Product List (folder)
    File List (file)                                     SomeAsset_File List


The tricky part is, unlike readmes or licenses, these files are called Product files, product lists and  file lists and there doesn't seem to be one name that's used more than other.  To be really useful, the tool would have to recognize that all three of these are the same thing.

I'll look into it. To really tell if Product files, product lists and file lists are the same they need to have something
about them that's the same that other files don't have.

You mean like

Code:
: Footprint File For []

: This is a commented line

: WIN_OSX
:  COMMON

As the header at the top of each file? Or something in the file name itself?

Some line of text that is the same in all Product file list text files. Something like "Content File List" or "File List" just
something that's in every file..

I have updated File Rename to allow for all text files regardless of the name. This should solve your issue.
