Add autonumber if filename exist

Postby drlandau » Sun Oct 05, 2008 8:15 pm

Hi, I've tried searching the forums but dind't find the answer.

I have a bunch of pictures I would like to add date and an autonumber to the filenames...BUT the autonumber should not be an overall autonumber like this:

pic_120107_1.jpg
pic_120107_2.jpg
pic_150307_3.jpg
pic_021007_4.jpg
pic_181107_5.jpg
pic_181107_6.jpg
pic_181107_7.jpg
pic_181107_8.jpg

Instead it should reset for each "date-group" like this:

pic_120107_1.jpg
pic_120107_2.jpg
pic_150307_1.jpg
pic_021007_2.jpg
pic_181107_1.jpg
pic_181107_2.jpg
pic_181107_3.jpg
pic_181107_4.jpg

Can it be done?

Thanks a bunch and very good work, Jim!

Hi,

Just specify the "break at..." option, entering the character position that should be used to detect the change (in your situation I think this should be 10 or 11).
