Import rename pairs help

Postby rajtak » Mon Aug 06, 2012 5:09 am

Hello Everyone,

I want to rename a group of files having same names but their extensions are different, i want this to be done with text import rename pairs feature.

Example

ABCD_123.jpg
ABCD_123.tif
ABCD_123.step
ABCD_123.pdf

Now i want to rename the above with

ASIN1.jpg
ASIN1.tif
ASIN1.step
ASIN1.pdf

I have tried the below in the text file but it doesn't work

ABCD_123|ASIN1

Any help would be really appreciated.

Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj, welcome!

According to the help file:

Additional Features > Renaming From A Text File
Starting with version 2.2.6.0 it is possible to rename files according to a text-file.
This text file should contain a list of "old name" and "new name" pairs, separated by a pipe symbol ( | ).

To use this facility, create a text file in for the correct format, for example:

Track001.mp3|Headlong.mp3
Track002.mp3|Rushes.mp3
TRACK003.mp3|AnywhereIs.mp3

As you see, there is one entry per line.

Next, click the Import option on the File menu and load your file.
If the file is valid then you will see the "new name" column reflecting the contents of the text file.

When comparing the current filename with the text file the application ignores the case of the filename,
e.g. it will happily match Track001.mp3 and TRACK001.mp3. This makes it easy to rename the files.




...create an text file like:
ABCD_123.jpg|ASIN1.jpg
ABCD_123.tif|ASIN1.tif
ABCD_123.step|ASIN1.step
ABCD_123.pdf|ASIN1.pdf

But for your case "I want to rename a group of files having same names but their extensions are different"

you just can do the same with the replace rule:

Repl.(3)
Repl: ABCD_123
With: ASIN1
