Consecutive numbering vs. numeration folder wise

Postby cybercosmos » Wed Jan 11, 2006 6:35 pm

I've tried to number files in subfolders recursively starting at 1 within each folder. This is what I got:<pre>
Origin Result

+ Folder1 + Folder1
- abc.txt - 001.txt
- bcd.txt - 002.txt
- cde.txt - 003.txt
+ Folder2 + Folder2
- edc.txt - 004.txt
- dcb.txt - 005.txt
- cba.txt - 006.txt

</pre>
And this is what I expected:<pre>
Origin Result

+ Folder1 + Folder1
- abc.txt - 001.txt
- bcd.txt - 002.txt
- cde.txt - 003.txt
+ Folder2 + Folder2
- edc.txt - 001.txt
- dcb.txt - 002.txt
- cba.txt - 003.txt

</pre>
Is there an option to do the numbering folder wise? I couldn't solve this problem yet. Otherwise it may be an interesting feature to be implemented in any following version.

Anyway: great utility!

Not quite. You *can* reset the numbering on a "break" of nnn characters, e.g. break when the 4th character changes. But it won't be possible to reset the numbering ona change of folder, as this assumes people have the files sorted by foldername. If they have them sorted by (e.g.) file size or date then the folder contents will not be grouped together.
