[Feature Request] TV Rename should keep a record of all renames and allow 'rename undo' #987

Hi folks, here is my idea here: TV Rename shouldn't ask users if they want to delete the show from their machine when they remove the series from the software, it's a bit useless since one can do it in the file explorer and the yes/no prompt can lead to easy errors (deleting a file on a network share is permanent).

Renaming a series should also be undo-able ideally. By keeping the previous filenames in a log and restoring that if the final user wants to revert the changes?

Thanks again for any consideration. I think these 2 features will make TV Rename more friendly towards beginners while not getting in the way of the advanced users.

Check the preferences: image

That should solve part 1.

Undo is a new feature and a bigger job

I'm a big believer in personal responsibility. Double check that the Rename you want to do is what you want before you do it. I don't see any reason to complicate TVR with 'rename undos'. How often would it be needed? Once I set up my naming template years ago I've never had to change it. Worst case scenario, if they are not happy with a particular rename, they should have a system backup to which to restore from. If not, they have more problems then just a badly renamed file.
