Magic File Renamer - versions history

v3.00

Due to the recent flood in file renamers I decided to give mine a unique name - "Magic File Renamer".
Magic File Renamer is now a shareware. There are no limitations of any kind. Just provided users who enjoy this program a way to support it. For further details about registeration see the new "About" screen under "Help" menu.
