Prevent duplicates above 99?

Postby slormo » Thu Dec 14, 2023 8:29 pm

Hi there, I'm having problems with the prevent duplicates feature. Can the limit of duplicates be raised above 99?

I've tried change the format to %count000% but that doesn't change the limit.

It looks to be a bug where Prevent Duplicates IS limited to 99 regardless of what you set %count%?
(Or, I'm doing it wrong ;-).)
(And, 9,999 would be the upper limit in any case.)


Best I can tell, using a Prevent Duplicates Fomat of:

Code: Select all
%name%_%count0000%

still only gives you 99 dups, & all the rest of your files are left unchanged.



While we're here, "alphabetic characters" renamed 32 files.
There aren't that many letters in my alphabet.
There were some odd outputs ;-).

And while we're here, BRC (command-line) does work correctly :-).

Code: Select all
BRC32.exe  /DIR:"C:\OUT"  /PATTERN:* /REMOVENAME /FIXEDNAME:hithereyouswine /NODUP /EXECUTE


Code: Select all
...
Filename hithereyouswine_L renamed to hithereyouswine_489
Filename hithereyouswine_M renamed to hithereyouswine_490
Filename hithereyouswine_N renamed to hithereyouswine_491
Filename hithereyouswine_O renamed to hithereyouswine_492
Filename hithereyouswine_P renamed to hithereyouswine_493
Filename hithereyouswine_Q renamed to hithereyouswine_494
Filename hithereyouswine_R renamed to hithereyouswine_495
Filename hithereyouswine_S renamed to hithereyouswine_496
Filename hithereyouswine_T renamed to hithereyouswine_497
Filename hithereyouswine_U renamed to hithereyouswine_498
Filename hithereyouswine_V renamed to hithereyouswine_499
Filename hithereyouswine_W renamed to hithereyouswine_500
Filename hithereyouswine_X renamed to hithereyouswine_501
Filename hithereyouswine_Y renamed to hithereyouswine_502
Filename hithereyouswine_Z renamed to hithereyouswine_503
Filename hithereyouswine_{ renamed to hithereyouswine_504

C:\OUT>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

(504 files in said directory. It even renamed 1 subdirectory, for good measure.)

Thank you, I have added this to the to do list for the new release, to increase duplicates from max 99 and check alpha.
