Date + numbers (per date)

Postby remko » Tue Sep 08, 2009 7:16 am

I found how to add the date taken as the names of the pictures. I also found to use numbers as prefix. So, I get the following names YYYY-MM-DD-001, YYYY-MM-DD-002. But I would like to renumber each new date. So, I would like to have the following: 2009-09-07-001, 2009-09-07-002, 2009-09-08-001, 2009-09-08-002. Can BRU do that?

Hi remko,

use this:
Section File (2):
Name: Remove

Section Auto Date (8):
Mode: Prefix
Type: Taken (or whatever else you want)
Fmt: YMD
Seg.: -
Cent.: enabled

Section Numbering (10):
Mode: Suffix
Start: 1
Pad: 3

This leads to e.g. 2009-09-07-001, 2009-09-07-002, 2009-09-08-003, 2009-09-09-004 etc.
I'm not sure whether BRU can start with 001 for each new date, I personally would either select only files with the same dates or rename all and afterwards renumber the files with new dates counting up from 001. If you want to do so, too, please be sure to check Options|Rename in reverse order, otherwise you may get failure messages from BRU.

Cheers
