NameQuick 2.11.45

Release date: 2026-06-16

This update improves local Smart Rename, custom prompts, rules, Quick Process, local AI providers, review workflows, library reliability, and licensing.

New

• New rule templates for common document workflows. NameQuick now includes more starting points for everyday document organization, making it faster to create useful rules without building every condition from scratch.
• Apple-native document support for AI renaming. Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and RTFD files can now be read for naming workflows instead of being treated like unsupported files.
• More capable local Smart Rename. Local AI naming now keeps the generated name grounded in the file’s actual text and sends uncertain details to review instead of guessing.
• Smarter custom prompt authoring. Custom prompts now preserve more of the naming plan you wrote, so repeated workflows behave more consistently across different files.
• Rules can skip files before AI work. Rules can now stop files that should not be processed before AI extraction begins, helping batches finish with clearer skipped-file results.
• A more useful Review area. Review now has clearer attention states, a dock badge, and better routing for items that need a decision before a rename can finish.

Improvements

• Clearer review for files that need details. Rows with missing fields now guide you through a focused fill-the-blanks form, so you can complete the name without editing the whole filename by hand.
• Better review recovery after restart. Proposed names and their source details are restored more reliably, so you can pick up a review batch without losing why a suggestion was made.
• More transparent review evidence. NameQuick now shows more of the source detail behind template and custom-prompt suggestions, so review decisions are easier to trust.
• More dependable custom prompts. When a custom prompt leaves out required details, repeats a field, or returns something NameQuick cannot verify, the file is kept in review instead of being renamed from an uncertain result.
• More complete Quick Process preset support. Quick Process now shows saved templates alongside Smart Rename and custom prompts, so you can use the same saved naming workflows from the floating drawer.
• Clearer run controls. Auto-rename and review-first choices now live with the run button, making it easier to choose how a batch should proceed before starting.
• More reliable local AI providers. MLX, Ollama, and LM Studio runs handle model loading, unavailable-model states, structured responses, and longer local reasoning runs more predictably.
• Smarter local model recommendations. NameQuick now suggests local models that better fit your Mac, warns before larger RAM-heavy choices, and blocks MLX models on unsupported Macs.
• Automatic cleanup for older local model picks. When NameQuick updates its recommended local models, older matching choices can be replaced with the newer option more clearly.
• OpenAI BYOK now starts with GPT-5.5. New OpenAI self-managed setups default to a stronger model for naming work.
• Faster browsing and indexing for larger libraries. Folder indexing, scan progress, and background browsing updates are smoother, especially when watched folders contain many files.
• More reliable watched folders. Folder access recovery, existing-file prompts, and background indexing behave more consistently when folders move, reconnect, or need permission again.
• More dependable rename history. The History panel is more reliable and responsive when reviewing recent batches or undoing renamed files.
• Cleaner browsing and selection. Grid and table updates are lighter, selection counts are clearer, and large file lists should feel steadier while work is running.
• A simpler main sidebar. The library now focuses on the active places and review states that matter most, with clearer folder health and drop targets.
• More consistent naming language. Custom prompts now follow your selected output language more reliably, so generated filenames better match the language you chose.
• Stronger licensing and credit recovery. NameQuick handles offline checks, subscription changes, and self-managed key storage more carefully before allowing paid or trial usage.
• Better trial and upgrade messaging. Trial limits, plan upgrades, and self-managed setup flows now give clearer next steps when access changes.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the Build name flow for incomplete rows. Filling required fields should now create a proposed name instead of leaving the button looking inactive.
• Fixed Quick Process getting stuck after a rename. After a file is renamed, you can run Quick Process again from the same drawer instead of closing and starting over.
• Fixed Quick Process template selections falling back to Smart Rename. Saved templates should now stay selected and use the right template-based naming flow.
• Fixed skipped files looking like failures. Files skipped by rules are now reported as skipped instead of being mixed into failed results.
• Fixed rule actions for moving and tagging files. Rules now let you choose a destination folder directly and add Finder tags from the rule editor instead of typing paths or replacing placeholder tags.
• Fixed browse list flicker during background updates. File lists should stay steadier while NameQuick refreshes folder data in the background.
• Fixed tag search crashes in large libraries. Searches involving Finder tags should no longer crash after library updates or older data migrations.
• Fixed watched-folder indexing getting out of sync. NameQuick is better at reconciling renamed, moved, or newly available files so folder counts and file lists converge correctly.
• Fixed managed template and custom-prompt routing. Managed renames should no longer accidentally switch template or custom-prompt files to a local provider.
• Fixed batches appearing finished before the last work is complete. Auto-processing now waits for the actual rename work to settle before reporting completion.
• Fixed unclear local-provider and quota messages. Provider and usage problems now surface with clearer feedback instead of generic failure states.
• Fixed stale local-provider actions after relaunch. Local model setup controls should reflect the current provider state more reliably after reopening NameQuick.
• Fixed content indexing recovery after missing or unreadable files. NameQuick is better at keeping search and folder indexing honest when files move, disappear, or cannot be read.
• Fixed ambiguous date handling in local naming. Dates are interpreted more consistently when the document language gives NameQuick enough context.
• Fixed paid-trial exhaustion display. When a managed trial runs out, the app now describes the state more accurately instead of showing misleading availability.
