Re-naming by giving new names

[Optimus]

Hi,

I just purchased this program, but I'm unsure how to use it.

I've got picture and videos files with too many duplicate/scramble names. I'm looking to unify all my files in numerical order.

For example, if my files look like this:

Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3

I'll be looking to re-name them like this:

1
2
3

Is this doable?

Yes, renaming is generic files without matching them against an online database is supported:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2072

In this particular case, a format such as this will do the job:

Code: Select all

fn.after(/Picture /)

Alternatively, just using {i} will also work, if you just want to put files into order.

Code: Select all

i.pad(3)

Hi buddy,

Thank you. I am faced with this error. Can you, please assist?

[rednoah]

I highly doubt that you want to rename every single file to i.pad literally.

Please read the documentation regarding format expressions and look at the examples, then everything will become clear.

Hi,

Where can I read upon this?

I was hoping one could just provide the code I need. I did pay for it.

I've read the Documentation here.

It's all gibberish to me. I have no idea what I am doing.

use e.g.

Code: Select all

{i.pad(3)}

output

001

Code: Select all

{i.pad(4)}

output

0001

ext. will not change

Hi Kim,

That worked. Thank you!!!

In three folders I have images and videos mixed. I wanted to re-name the pictures and videos separately.

Can you, please provide the code needed to re-name them numerical order apart?

I'm then done.

The easiest way would be to rename video files and image files separately:

Hi,

Thank you. I'll give it a go, when I return home from work.

I take it the only options that applies to me would be 1 and 4?

[rednoah]

1 to 3 if you're using the GUI.

4 if you're using the CLI.

5 if you're using the CLI on Linux.

Hi,

I'm on Windows?

So, it's 1 to 3?

[rednoah]

Play with it. You'll figure it out.
