Rename with CSV and duplicates files

Postby danphotostudio » Tue Dec 20, 2022 8:11 am

Hello!
I have this problem to solve.

So I'm renaming a bunch of client pictures from EAN to SKU code using a CSV provided. So far so good.

The file names are all numerical like 1234567890

The problem is that every file has also got one or two duplicates, like this:
1234567890
1234567890_1
1234567890_2

I don't know how to pass this information to the renamed file. Ideally should be something like:
1234567890_1 -> ABCDEFGHIJ_1

Is there any workaround?

A really bad solution could be to include duplicate file names in the CSV, but I hope to find a more elegant way of managing it.

Thank you!

Hi, I think right now the CSV does not include the capability to match and replace using wildcards, so you would need to include all duplicates as well in the CSV... It is a feature we would like to add in a new version. thanks
