Could I use powerrename to rename files in order? #19141

Open yltx opened 2 years ago

yltx commented 2 years ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

For example,I have 1.jpg to 100.jpg. Now I have 7 more new images and want to insert them before 1.jpg, and rename them as 1.jpg to 107. jpg.How can I achieve that? Does the existing function support this?

If not, please add this function, or please tell me how to chieve this.

Scenario when this would be used?

Like rename a lot files which have been already in order,like move the numbering sequence backward or forward.

Or you can do something more, like allowing users to choose files and rename them as chosen order.

Power Rename or regular expressions don't really have math built in, no.

If Power Rename could have ability to insert numbering somewhere in replacing string that you could choose first number you could:

  1. rename all your files from 1 - 100 to something else
  2. rename new images to 1 - 7
  3. change old images to 8 - 107

Is this good approach?

I think these are all good tools.

Numbering: yes. You just have to check if the order is as you want it to be.
