in a folder are some pictures. all with different names. The order is wrong (for example for adding them in a good order in a email) Now i would like to bring them in THIS folder in a spezific order (I know that i can change the order for slideshows in spez. software - but thats not my goal)
If I:
rename them (with #'s?) and then sorte from 1 to xy it would work quit nice.
Questions:
Is there a possibility that all tumbnails went to rename-modus in same time? So that i can watch and say: ok, the third one is Nr 1 (enter=>this one is done) go on and then say: the last one is Nr. 2 (enter=>this one is also done) and so on...
In Advanced-mod is the prob, that i cant define the new order... And I would like to have a nice overview of all renameable pix.
can someone understand my idea?
Do someone have a hint for me?
You could also make a button which runs something like this:
Rename PATTERN "(.*)\.([^.]*)" TO "Moo.\2" AUTORENAME REGEXP
That will rename the selected file to "Moo.ext" (where ext is the same extension as the original file). If there's already a file with that name then the renamed file will be called "Moo (1).ext" and so on. With that button you can select files in turn and click a button (or hotkey) to make them the next in the sequence.

Jeah - that is a good solution!
Three Questions for optimization:
[list=]Can we make that the first renamed file starts also with a Nummber, also starts with moo(1).gif and not only Moo.gif?
[list=] can we male that there is no space between moo and the (xy)? also like moo(45).gif
[list=]can we make a popup-window witch ask me what thext insted of moo should be given?[/list]
I know that there are somewhere all answes - perhaps you can help me with link oder the solution (so that i can learn)
At least at the moment, there's no way to change how the "autorename" feature works, so the first 2 things cannot be done right now as a single operation.
However, you could use this button to set the order of the files, and then do a second rename on them using the # stuff to fix the names up exactly how you want them.
You can use {dlgstring} to make a button prompt you for a string. Whatever you enter will be put into the command. Of course, this is not much use for the command I gave before since you would be prompted for every single file, but combined with what I just suggested I think you have a complete solution, except you have to set the order and then fix the names in two steps.
I still have to get known that this software is so flexible - there will be manymany possibilities I can start to use - before the other Programs never gave me so much of individual creativity to work - GREAT!
