RenameFolderAddCount - a script command which is able to add the number of files or subfolders to a folders name.

Short feature summary:

- limit counting of files by specifying a list of file-extensions
- customizable rename pattern (to append/prepend to the foldername e.g.)
- limit counting of files and subfolders to x-number of subfolders deep (or fully recursive by default)

Command Parameters:

Command-line parameters can be used to override script-config defaults:

- `EXTENSIONS`
- `PATTERN`
- `DEEPNESS`

By default it will rename a folder named `My Folder` containing 10 files to `MyFolder (10)`.

By specifying, for example, `pattern="%numfolders% - * - %numfiles%"` the folder `My Folder` will be renamed to `34 - My Folder - 10`, assuming it has a total of 34 subfolders and 10 files (recursive mode).

To prevent counting of files and subfolders which are not directly located below but anywhere deeper, use `deepness=0`.

In case you'd like to limit counting to `*.txt` and `*.doc` files, use `extensions=".txt;.doc"`.

Default Parameters:

Default values can be customized from the script's Config dialog:

Installation:

To install the command, download the \*.js.txt file below and drag it to Preferences / Toolbars / Scripts.

You can open the script's Config window from the same place, once the script is installed.

Create a button or hotkey with the command `RenameFolderAddCount` and it's ready to go with the defaults.
