Rename folder contents based on name of folder + increment

Postby trooper » Tue Jun 11, 2019 4:37 pm

Hi All
I have a whole load of folders named by a number (eg "12345") and inside each folder I have 10 JPG files names 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 .JPG. I need a way to rename each of the files with 1.JPG being the folder name and each subsequent file to increment by 1. Ideally I need to point at the top level that contains all of the numbered folders and run the program rather than having to run it on individual folders.

For example:

Folder 12345
1.JPG
2.JPG
3.JPG
ETC

Needs to be:

Folder 12345
12345.JPG
12346.JPG
12347.JPG

I am new to this utility so not sure if what I am asking is too much.

Thanks you very much in advance for any help that you may be able to give.

Without using the JavaScript renaming part, don't know that you'll be able to do that.


If you didn't need the incremental filenames, but instead were OK something like...

dir/dir
dir/dir_1
dir/dir_2
dir/dir_3

Folder 12345
12345.JPG
12345_1.JPG
12345_2.JPG
12345_3.JPG

that is easy enough to do.

2.remove
9.prefix
options -> prevent dups
