Re-naming by giving new names

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

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.
Q: What does {...} do?

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.

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?

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?

Play with it. You'll figure it out.
