Re-numbering

[flyhigh]

I have been trying to rename 1429 photos that i have stuffed up by attempting to rename them . All i want to do is have them renamed ie MELB0001, MELB0002, MELB0003...........MELB1429
Each time i try and use the BRU there is always a glitch ie some stupid out of sequence numbers just show up. I am trying to put them into a slideshow but everything turns to crap when i try and insert them.
Please show me step by step how to do it properly. I have tried "2", "7", and "10" method but still does not want to play the game. I dont care how the numbering/letters are. Just as long as i have them all in numerical order from go to whoa.
Please guide me through step by step as i have just started to use the BRU. I have read some of the renaming topics but just cant get it
THANKS

This should be posted under BRU support, not command line.

One way:

In File(2) section, have it checked and:

have *.* in the file name field
have Remove selected in the drop down box

In the Add(7) section, have it checked and:
in Prefix field put MELB and the pos field set to 0.

In the Numbering(10) section, have it checked and:
Mode set for Suffix
at = 0
Start = 0
Incr. = 1
Pad = 4
Sep. = blank i.e. nothing, not the word blank
Break = 0
Type = Base 10 (Decimal)
Roman Numerals = None

Hope this helps.
It worked fine for me.
(You did know that you also have to select the files in the name column, right?)
