A mass file renaming tool with highly interactive UI.
C++ Shell extension is done! Now supports 32bit and 64bit host apps and adding files to existing RenamerFairy processes.

The application will automatically stay updated by default, options are in the Settings window of the application.

Known Bugs
- Occasionally allows selection beyond end of currently selected item and then inserts text in a weird position (until alignment is changed)
- Find & Replace plugin highlighting has an out-by-one error for multi-character selections that exist multiple times in a single name (actual replacing isn't affected, only the highlighting)
- When quitting with no changes the application might ask about unsaved changes
