Mass renaming while maintaining different numbering.

Postby sinkantaro » Sun May 04, 2025 1:32 pm

There are 2000 folders containing txt and images of different quantities and formats with numbering, for example:
folder A
folder A contains 2006 images with numbers at the end of the name from 1 to 2006 and two text documents with information about the folder.
folder B contains 2 images with numbers at the end of the name from 1 to 2 and two text documents with information about the folder.
How can I remove any names and special characters from all images while preserving the image numbers and not touching the names of text information files or the folder name?

help plz

Filters (12):
*.jpg *. png etc will limit it to image files, leaving out any text files.

Remove (5):
Sym. - removes commas, dashes, etc
Chars - removes text
D/S and Trim - removes extraneous spaces

This won't help because the numbers appear in the names.

Oh no, I didn't see the folder/file selection type setting, but even with it there are two problems:
1. the path length in 90% of cases gives a rename error
2. the program does not remember the settings and does not display webp images from more than one folder at a time until I reboot it
