If you only work on Windows (like me) you can take advantage of a Windows DOS
command by creating a batch file with the following:
SET ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE("_4D_OPTION_HIDE_CONSOLE";"TRUE")
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("cmd.exe /C rename "+$dir_current+" "+$dir_rename)
You just need to account for any spaces in the path names, since they will need
to be placed inside double quotes.
Very simply, very fast...
