Hi @devabhishekpal
sure, have you already set up the dev environment?
PowerRename requires to be installed as a shell extension, so in order to simplify development and testing, there is a test app built when you build the project

x64\Release\modules\PowerRename\PowerRenameTest.exe

When opened, it shows an empty dialog, but you can drag&drop file to test.
Let me know if you have questions.

@enricogior Thank you 😊. I do have the dev env setup and would inform you if I run into problems😄

Shall I add a checkbox for the feature? But then we will have an uneven amount of checkboxes. @enricogior

@devabhishekpal
let's add the checkbox.
When WinUI 3.0 will be stable, we will update the UI to something very different, so for now we can live with not ideal UI.

Decimal-to-hex is one example. What if people also want hex-to-dec? And what about prepending the hex digits with a # or 0x...?
