Renaming Duplicate Files

Post by MrBogger »

Hi all,

Just enquiring if there is a way to rename files that are duplicates, such as adding (1), (2) to the filename automatically so I can then go through and delete duplicates after they have been renamed?

Cheers

The easiest solution would be to add something like {vf} to your format, so that different files are assigned different file paths.

Adding (1) (2) etc is also possible via custom format expression, but it's a bit tricky, because it'd be like a snake eating it's own tail. :lol:
