Rename by shooting time on many files (about 1200) doesn't work correctly.
on function "Rename REGEXP PATTERN "*" TO "[#]-{shootingtime|D#dd_MMM_yyyy}at{shootingtime|T#HH_mm_ss}.{ext}" AUTORENAME FILEINFO NUMBER {Rs|Begin with|001}" with prev.sorted by "Date taken" i see that numbering not always goes by dates correctly. as you wish - current number "jumps" while renaming (rename command doesn't use sort by needed column?)
Where have the missing numbers gone? Are they not there at all?
How did you do the rename? On the folder shown, or in flat-view or find results or something?
i rename pictures...a lot of pictures. on small amount everything goes ok.but when i have thousand pictures - get problems...
- i use this function: "Rename REGEXP PATTERN "*" TO "[#]-{shootingtime|D#dd_MMM_yyyy}at{shootingtime|T#HH_mm_ss}.{ext}" AUTORENAME FILEINFO NUMBER {Rs|Begin with|001}"
- sorting by "date taken"
- select all files
4)push the button
5)i want that all my files were numbered as they are sorted in list (by "date taken"), but when i click on sorting by name the order of files changes - files from 01.01.2011 have greater number than files from 05.01.2011 for ex.
doesn't work in simple list view and flat view
Where have the missing numbers gone? Are they not there at all? Or just somewhere else in the list?
So you are using flat-view? Or do you mean you've tried with and without flat-view?
If you are using flat-view then 10.0.1.3, which came out a few hours ago, may have a relevant fix:
[ul][li]When files are passed to commands in FlatView (e.g. the Rename command), Opus now tries to keep the order the same as in the file display[/li][/ul]

all files are passed through rename command, but the sorting order is incorrect!files are numbered not according to their dates! numbers jumps from one group of files to another...
i tried with and without flatview
Are there are gaps in the numbers? i.e. Numbers that get skipped completely and are not used for any file at all.
Or are all the numbers used, but not in the order you expect?
yes, all the numbers are used, but not in the order i expect!
no gaps, no skipped files
I tried your button against 1240 files, sorted by Date Taken, and it works okay here:
When you did this, did you wait for the Date Taken information to be fully calculated? It takes a while for the information to be read, during which time the sort arrow in the column will be red to indicate that the sorting has not been performed yet. If you launched the rename before the sorting had been done, that would explain things:
As a more general point, you could avoid having to number the files at all if you used a date format which was naturally sorted. e.g. yyyy-MM-dd. Then you wouldn't need to prompt for the starting number, either.
