Order files and save with incrementing number

MetaRename
1

it appears metarename almost does what I want. apols if it can, i can’t seem to find a way.

Steps

  1. Load all files
  2. Drag to new order
  3. Save down a new filename “my-event-{count}.jpg”

Additionally, would be great if I can resize the columns so I can see bigger thumbnails!

Thanks

Hello there,

I am sorry for the delay. The short answer is that you can use the format:

my-event-,%.1c,.,%e

Here is a screenshot:

You can replace %.1c by %.1nc to count from 1 instead of 0.

I added the column resizing in the TODO list.

Hello!! I’m with the test of the program and before buying it I would like to know if I can put a simple counter at the end of the name… I tried the way you put here and the number only increases if the name is the same, if not, start again…:

<EXIF:DateTimeOriginal# %Y>,.,<EXIF:DateTimeOriginal# %m>,.,<EXIF:DateTimeOriginal# %d>, - Prueba - ,%.01nc,.,%e

Hello! Thank you for your message and for testing the app. You’re absolutely right: I had never noticed, but the counter you mentioned (%.01nc) only increases when the base filename is the same. If the name changes, it restarts from 1. This is indeed a limitation of the current implementation. I’ll work on improving this behavior and adding proper support for a global sequential counter, even when the filenames are different, just like you described. Thanks again for pointing it out!

Thaks for the answer!! I will wait for the implementation ツ
