Folder Name to File Name ?

Postby UnanimousD » Thu Mar 09, 2023 5:14 am

In section 5 "Add," is there a way to automatically add the folder name as a prefix or suffix other than copy/pasting or just typing it in?

Example: Say I have 7 folders, Red Orange Yellow Green Blue DarkBlue and Violet.
In the Red folder I have 3 jpegs named Small.jpeg Medium.jpeg and Large.jpeg
In the Orange folder I have 3 jpegs named Small.jpeg Medium.jpeg and Large.jpeg
In the Yellow folder I have 3 jpegs named Small.jpeg Medium.jpeg and Large.jpeg
etc.

Is there a way to rename the first set of 3 in the Red folder to RedSmall.jpeg, RedMedium.jpeg, and RedLarge.jpeg
Then renaming the 3 files in the Orange folder SmallOrange.jpeg, MediumOrange.jpeg, and LargeOrange.jpeg
and just do that again for each set of 3 files in all 7 folders (and this is really important) WITHOUT having to change the Prefix field to the folder name?

What I'm thinking is if there's some variable that one can put between % signs or something, the same way windows sees %USERPROFILE% as C:\Users\YourNameHere\. Or in the registry where %1 means whatever text is entered after a command is issued.

Am I just stuck having to enter the Prefix field (in this example) 7 times?

Sorry, I tried doing a search for this and the forum insisted the words were too common to do a search on, so I'm asking here duplicate question or not.

Thanks.
