What you are looking for is a **watched** folder. Directory Opus does not do this. [This](https://resource.dopus.com/t/watch-folder-for-renaming-files/7949) post explains an alternative. I use watched folders via a program called **[Quick Macros](https://www.quickmacros.com/index.html)**. Multiple programs can do the watched part of what you want. **Quick Macros** has a free trial to try it. As for the script part, Directory Opus can definitely do that. I wonder if you could just have a \*.dcf file sitting in that folder that triggers to run when a change is made. Could you explain in more detail what you mean about > But then, if there's a hole in the numbering (ie skip a number), it would always take the last file's number and add 1 to it. Are you just saying you want the numbering to be one higher than the then the last file? --- _[View the full topic](https://resource.dopus.com/t/automatically-rename-new-files-added-to-a-specific-folder/49835)._
