Renaming folder to show the number of files contained within

Postby joechick » Fri Feb 06, 2015 7:53 pm

Good evening. I have searched through the forums, but haven't been able to find a solution to my problem, so I hope I'm not asking a duplicate question.

BRU has made my life so much easier over the past few months, but I do have a strange question. I am currently working on a project that requires me to catalog old newsletters (Over 10,000). Each newsletter is in a folder and consists of several scanned pages (TIFF images) and has a unique name, but it would make my job a million times easier if there was a way to rename the folders based on the number of files within each folder. For example if Folder "Newsletter-001" contained 9 image files, "Newsletter-002" contained 6, and "Newsletter-003" contained 15.

Original:

Newsletter-001
Newsletter-002
Newsletter-003

Changed to:

Newsletter-001 (9)
Newsletter-002 (6)
Newsletter-003 (15)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, unfortunately I do not think it's possible with BRU, sorry.
