If a user does not use the comments field, this is a helpful option - but if they do use the comments field, it may not be a suitable solution.

Starting with Monterrey, I no longer plan to continue developing any of the Mac based apps. All the GOTOES Mac apps should work on OSX up to Big Sur. Some of my customers have been using my apps on a daily basis for over a decade now! You guys are the best I've especially enjoyed working with those of you who I've come to know personally. I appreciate this wonderful, friendly customer base, and it pains me to have to stop supporting any product. I've really enjoyed working with many of you who suggested excellent features which made GOTOES apps better for everyone. As you can imagine, having to rewrite everything from scratch (whenever Apple fancies) isn't fun for the developer! I sure wish I could keep adding your feature requests and updates, but at this point, the demands placed by Apple will require more time than I have to spend. With the last few updates to the OS, the result has been that apps have needed to be rewritten from scratch - for a 3rd time. Apple continually blocks features (especially features with file access) for the sake of security. This is great for the consumer, but for developers, it has meant constantly jumping through hoops to get apps approved. Over the years, Apple has become more mainstream, and as a result of their success, they have had to improve the security of their OS. I've been working on developing apps for Apple long before the iPhone even existed. Hey guys! It has been a long run for the Batch File Rename app.
