Rename only the first file in multiple folders

[Cas1]

Hello

I have the following folder structure
Folder 1
vacation 1 01.jpg
vacation 1 02.jpg
vacation 1 03.jpg
Folder 2
vacation 2 01.jpg
vacation 2 02.jpg
vacation 3 03.jpg

How can I make this renaming automatically
Folder 1
Folder.jpg
vacation 1 02.jpg
vacation 1 03.jpg
Folder 2
Folder.jpg
vacation 2 02.jpg
vacation 3 03.jpg

I can do the selection manually(select each file manually in Name-window) but if there are alot of folders and files it will take alot of time

Thanks
Regards

So, what, you want to rename "vacation.*01" (or is it the "first" file) in each folder to "Folder.jpg" (literally, or to the parent folders name?)?

As i shown in the exemple

vacation 1 01.jpg becomes Folder.jpg
vacation 2 01.jpg becomes Folder.jpg

The rest of the files in each folder should stay untouched

Still not following if vacation.*01 & Folder.jpg are literal or not?

Anyhow, see if this does what you want?

1:RegEx

Code: Select all

Match:  ^vacation.*01.jpg$
Replace:  Folder.jpg

Thanks for trying to help

Let me try to explain more:

The actual case I try to solve is when the name of Subfolders are different, you have maybe 100 subfolder under one main-folder,

Mainfolder/

Folder 1
Vaction 02
Christmas 1997

etc..

Mainfolder/

Folder 1
Vacation 02
Christmas 1997
Eastern 78
...... and so on


I would like to change the first file in each subfolder(Folder 1, Vacation 02, Christmas 1997 etc...) to "Folder.Jpg"
By doing this,windows explorer shows a Thumbnail when you select the subfolder to be presented as "Icons" in windows explorer

If i use BRU and browse to the Mainfolder(Left panel in BRU, the Name-side(right panel in BRU) shows ALL files in all subfolder,

Is the a way then to just ask BRU to select the first file in each subfolder and then rename that file to Folder.jpg

Hope this explains what i try to do
