* Note that BRU renames by the sort-order in its right-pane.
So ordering can be changed by clicking columns or dragging names.
10Numbering sequentially ADDs text/numbers (per that sort-order)
but it never removes any pre-existing chars/digits from OrigName.
It is strictly an add-option, much like 7Add, 8AutoDate, 9AppendFolderName.
Removing/replacing chars requires more settings or another run.
One example:
1Regex match/replace (remove final digits)
(IMG_)\d+$
\1
10Numbering (sequentially suffix numbers, beginning with 0001)
Mode=Suffix
Start=1
Pad=4
Incr=1
While 1Regex only touches files as: IMG_#.jpg
10Numbering suffixes ANY selected name in BRUs right-pane.
So one must use caution when selecting names, or use something like:
12Filter=img_*.jpg (to limit list of selectable-names)
This is where the commandline version really shines, where 2 batchlines
can be written to determine which name-format(s) should be 10Numbered.
Also, BRU cannot edit exif-data, & wont change a file's timestamp
unless the user explicitly gives such a command.
