Changelog

Added

• Find duplicate files in AI Rename: turn on Detect duplicate files in a template's settings, then keep the copies as they are, mark them in the name or move them to the Recycle Bin. Copies don't use credits.
• The new Remove Duplicates template moves exact copies to the Recycle Bin and leaves file names unchanged.
• Copies moved to the Recycle Bin are listed in Activity, and Undo puts them back.
• Buying PRO opens checkout in your browser, where you can also pay with Google Pay.
• A welcome window on first launch explains that nothing changes before you click Rename, how undo works and how your files are used.

Improved

• The Custom AI Blocks group in Naming Blocks can be collapsed.
• When Zush starts with Windows, it opens its window only when you need it, so sign-in is lighter.
• A file another app keeps open stays ready in the list, so you can rename it with the next Rename once it is free.

Fixed

• Audio files with no sound data, such as incomplete downloads, are named from their details instead of failing.
• Zush starts normally after a newer version of Zush was used on the same PC.
• Hints you have already seen, such as the note about closing Zush to the tray, no longer come back.

Added

• When Zush runs as administrator, the AI Rename drop area explains why files cannot be dragged in from File Explorer, shows how to fix it and offers to select the files instead.

Improved

• Video recording dates come from the clip's own tags, so names keep the local time the video was recorded, whatever time zone the PC is in.
• Recording dates no longer fall back to the date a file was copied to the computer.
• Complete local analysis reads PDFs whose text cannot be extracted by recognizing the text on their pages.

Fixed

• Removing many selected files from the AI Rename list no longer freezes the window.
• Files the AI service could not analyze are now marked as failed instead of being renamed "Untitled".
• The PayPal window opened during checkout now appears in front of the checkout instead of behind it.
• PRO no longer briefly switches back to Free limits after a purchase or activation.
• Fixed a rare case where the app could stop responding for good after a short pause.

Improved

• Smaller download and install size: the app now takes about 200 MB on disk instead of about 350 MB.
• More reliable naming with small Ollama and LM Studio models: a reply that is cut off or keeps repeating itself still gives a usable name instead of an error.
• Folder sorting with Ollama and LM Studio asks the model once more about files its first answer left out, so fewer files stay unsorted.
• Updated to .NET 10 and Windows App SDK 2.6.

Fixed

• Custom folder rules keep reading file details such as dates and page counts for the other files on a drive when one file there is slow to open.

Improved

• Monitored folders wait until a file has finished downloading, copying or saving before analyzing it, and hold images that are still incomplete until they are fully written.
• Faster folder sorting with custom rules on large batches.
• When the free batch limit shortens a selection, the alert offers an upgrade to PRO.
• Clearer messages when Windows denies access to a file during renaming and when a checkout has already ended.
• Faster startup, and the Rename button updates right away when folder sorting settings change.

Fixed

• A file that is slow to open, such as one still syncing with the cloud, no longer holds up other files in monitored folders.
• Custom rules with nested folders place every file at the full depth the rule describes, instead of directly in a folder that has subfolders.
• Titles suggested by Ollama and LM Studio no longer include random IDs copied from file names.

Added

• New per-template option to retry unchanged names. It is off by default, so a name that already fits can stay as it is.

Improved

• Faster batch analysis and name regeneration, with smoother updates when many files use cached results or local metadata.
• The Ollama model picker now labels models that can read images and avoids automatically selecting a text-only model.
• More reliable folder sorting for large batches: later files can reuse folders proposed for earlier files, and readable parts can still be sorted when another part fails.
• Offline speech model downloads resume after an interrupted connection.

Fixed

• PDF analysis works for files stored in very long folder paths.
• Better handling of interrupted or unusable local AI replies.

Fixed

Added

Fixed

• Movie filenames retain recognizable titles and years without treating codec labels as part of the title or a year as an episode number.
• Empty image files receive a clearer message when there is no content to analyze.

Added

• Cloud AI can identify music without track tags and use a matching song title and artist when naming files.
• Video analysis can use spoken content, embedded MKV text subtitles, and video metadata alongside preview frames.

Improved

Fixed

• Audio analysis preserves the original filename and available tags as naming context.
• Monitored folders release removable drives when Windows requests safe removal and resume watching if removal is cancelled.

Added

Improved

• More compact naming block options with localized Text Before and Text After fields.
• Manage an existing subscription even when a payment needs attention, directly from About or the checkout message.

Fixed

• Undo All no longer shows an earlier failure after a later retry successfully restores the file.
