increment numbering every n files

Postby mirddes » Mon Jun 16, 2025 7:47 am

I'd like to be able to increment numbering every 3 and 66 files for my usecase.

I've got .mp4/.mkv, .nfo and thumbs.jpg for my stargate collection. currently merging multipart episodes for my viewing pleasure and would like to maintain 22 episode seasons.

Previously i went through the tedium of repeating the process for each file-type but i know there's gotta be a better way and if it doesn't exist yet this should adequately articulate it for all those who seek it henceforth.

Do you have files called something like:

TV Title - S01E01 - Episode Name.mkv
TV Title - S01E01 - Episode Name.jpg
TV Title - S01E01 - Episode Name.nfo

TV Title - S01E02 - Episode Name.mkv
TV Title - S01E02 - Episode Name.jpg
TV Title - S01E02 - Episode Name.nfo

TV Title - S01E03 - Episode Name.mkv
TV Title - S01E03 - Episode Name.jpg
TV Title - S01E03 - Episode Name.nfo

If so, you can go to Renaming Options in the main menu along the top, choose Link Files by Extension... and enter mkv as the master file extension and jpg,nfo as the linked file extensions. Then, whatever changes you make to the mkv files will also be made in the jpg and nfo files.

If needed, with Javascript increment by X every Y files:
