i have a two groups of files (of different file types) and i want to rename one of the groups to match the other group. how can i do this in a batch operation? the best method i can think of is to copy the desired names to a txt file, then rename the other files from this text file... but i don't actually know how to go about doing that or if there is a better way. any assistance in doing so would be greatly appreciated. there are probably many practical purposes for this function, but in case you were wondering, i am trying to match up the file names of a series of video episodes with their srt subtitles. thanks.
the quick way to do this is, of course, to just replace all the names with a simple numbered progression. but i am hoping to retain this format:
series title - episode number - episode title
instead of using:
series title - episode number
See this thread --> From file rename script
nice! only thing i need to figure out is how to generate the text file from the first group of files.. is there a way to do this in dopus?
Yes, using the Print Folder (to a text file) command or, probably easier, by copying the names to the clipboard (there's a FAQ on how to do that).
