Hi

I'm using v2.39 on WinXP.

When I use the Convert Filename - Filename option, the OK button is ghosted.

I am trying to do this:

Old filename pattern: %1% - %2%  
New filename pattern: %2%

The OK button remains ghosted no matter what I type in these fields. The Cancel and Help buttons work fine.

Cheers.

The button will be activated as soon as your pattern works.  
What is your original filename and what do you wish as result?
