Renamerlets

A Renamerlet is structure where a chain’s information is saved. This contains the Renamerlet actions as well as their order.

Furthermore, Renamerlets consist of a name as well as an icon.

Note: The icon serves no purpose other than for you to select as you see fit.

When you open Renamer, you’ll find the Renamerlets listing on the left-most column, as shown below:
