Make same file name unique if conflict

Postby bonjovi1977 » Wed Aug 27, 2014 11:47 am

Is it possible where the output is the same to ensure that the files are unique?
eg. by adding _0001, _0002, _0003

Yes, in the BRU menu there's the option:

Prevent Duplicates

This option allows to you to overcome the situation whereby a rename would fail because a file with the same name already exists. If you try to rename a file, and there's already a file with the same name, the software will make up subsequent attempt to rename the file but with a "_1" suffix. If this fails it will try with "_2" as the suffix, and will continue up to "_99". The limit of 99, and the separator character (underscore, _) are currently fixed and cannot be changed.
