I have an awkward little problem. I use BRU extensively to maintain file archives, and I think I'm reasonably familiar with how to use most of its functionality, but this one's stumped me...
Here's the background (for interest; it's not essential to understanding my problem).
I have a huge load of 35mm film negatives which I'm getting scanned and digitised for manipulation on a computer. The negatives are in strips containing 4 negatives per strip. The staff at the lab who do the digitising are very diligent in making sure that they feed the strips into the machine in the correct order. However for some technical reason the machine reads them right to left rather than left to right. This means that the resulting file names have the wrong sequence. For example if a strip contains negatives 3, 4, 5 and 6 then the filenames will be 6, 5, 4, and 3 respectively.
So what I typically have is 25 files in a folder, with the names out of sequence. I want to renumber them:
From 01, 05, 04, 03, 02, 09, 08, 07, 06, 13, 12, 11, 10, ...
To 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, ...
I can of course manually re-arrange the files in the BRU file list, then delete the sequence number and apply an autonumber. But that's quite tedious. Any ideas how I can do it automatically?
