Comments:

Suppose there is the following directory structure:

Folder1
	File1.ext
	File2.ext
Folder2
	File3.ext
	File4.ext

Two first script parameters are always ("%L", "%P"). If the third parameter is not specified, the script first moves files from child directories to the parent one, and then deletes child empty directories. In other words, selecting Folder1 and Folder2 and running script with parameters ("%L", "%P") leads to:

File1.ext
File2.ext
File3.ext
File4.ext

If, for example, there are same-name files in child directories, the third parameter can be specified. Then the resulting file name would be composed of three parts:

forler_name + 3rd_par + file_name

The + character means concatenation. For example, if script parameters are ("%L", "%P", ""), the file names would be:

Folder1File1.ext
Folder1File2.ext
Folder2File3.ext
Folder2File4.ext

For parameters ("%L", "%P", "'s child "):

Folder1's child File1.ext
Folder1's child File2.ext
Folder2's child File3.ext
Folder2's child File4.ext

The same result can be achieved with 1) setting [P][N] in the MultiRename Tool, 2) switching to branch view, 3) moving files, 4) deleting child directiries. The script is more quick, safe, and convenient though less flexible.
