I've been using Krename to batch rename some files that need to be copied into incremented folders. I've noticed a few issues with Krename that could use some work. These are just suggestions after using the tool.

- There should be an option to use the same template options for the folder name as the filename (i.e. increment the folder number)
- There should be a checkbox to create the folder if it doesn't exist (this prevents being asked again and again when you click finish)
- Create a menu bar
- Plugins tab moved to the menu bar
- There should be an option to restart Krename with all the previous settings unchanged. It's pretty annoying to have to reapply the folder destination and template rules again and again. The whole point of a batch renamer is that it should do these things for you. 
- In the Filename -> Advanced Filename Tab, the option for numerical increment shouldn't be hidden in the 'Numbering...' button as it will be the most used option when renaming
- Option for removing characters from the start or end of the filename should be added (.
- Finish button shouldn't be greyed out in the other tabs (it is only active in the filename tab, however if I want to execute the renaming from the destination tab, I should be allowed to do it)
