Renaming and moving of jpg-files

Postby arietjens » Fri Nov 16, 2018 12:04 pm

Hi all!

I'm having a very specific question:
My collection of photos goes back to 1999.
I want to rearrange my photos.

I would like to rename them to yyyy-mmdd###.jpg. For example: 2018-0218005.jpg is the fifth picture taken on february 18th in 2018.
Renaming to yyyy-mmdd###.jpg. is no problem at all! But there are some features I do not get to work

I would like to have the numbering to be restarted if the date of a picturefile changes to the next date in the folder containing the files that need to be renamed.
Second I would like to have the renamed files to be moved to a folder containing the first 9 characters of the new filename. Which means all pictures taken on februari 18th in 2018 will be moved to the folder 2018-0218 after renaming.

Can someone tell me if Bulk Rename Utility can do this? And how it can be done!

Hope to hear from someone!

Hello,
I would like to have the numbering to be restarted if the date of a picturefile changes to the next date in the folder containing the files that need to be renamed.

You can maybe use
Numbering (10)
Break

For this

Second I would like to have the renamed files to be moved to a folder containing the first 9 characters of the new filename. Which means all pictures taken on februari 18th in 2018 will be moved to the folder 2018-0218 after renaming.

Sorry, BRU can not create new folders at this time.

The ability of creating new folders during renaming is very useful we think and should be added to next release.
E.g. if I rename AAAAA to BBB\CCC that means I want to create folder BBB\ (if it does not exist) and rename into CCC
