How to rename on random mode

Postby Marcelo N » Sun Apr 13, 2025 1:30 am

Hello guys!

Some weeks ago, I could rename my files in random order. Today I just can't remember how I did it. I opened the "help" guide, but it shows a path that I haven't got in my version of the software (4.0.0.5). So, I ask you guys, how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Marcelo.

Sort names in random order

The menu path is... "Actions, List, Apply Random Sort"

Hi! The new version 4.0.0.7 adds four new renaming tags for random text generation: <randnum>, <randchar>, <rand>, <randname>

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6970

The <randnum> tag yields a numeric string.
The <randchar> tag yields alphabet letters.
The <rand> tag yields a mix of digits and letters.
The <randname> tag yields a name with valid printable characters (excluding Windows-forbidden ones)
Length of the text can be specified.

Like the other tags, they can be used in:
RegEx (1) > Replace
Name (2) > Keep
Replace (3) > With
Add (7) > Prefix
Add (7) > Insert
Add (7) > Suffix

See help for details.

Mr. Administrator, thanks for your assistence. I found another way to do this:
1 - Select the files you want to rename
2 - Then follow this path: Actions / List > Apply random sort to current list (CTRL + 8).
