Rename questions regarding FROM / TO usage

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I have been trying to set up a simple rename operation

Rename FROM *.* TO {dlgstring}_.jpg NUMBER 001

With that I have to problems:

  1. It works on all files in a folder. I need it only to work on the selected ones. The help suggest to omit the FROM but this makes the TO parameter not working.
  2. How can I retain the original file extension?

Use PATTERN instead of FROM if you want it to work on selected files only.

To keep the extension use a regexp:

Rename PATTERN=".*(\.[^.]+)" TO="{dlgstring}_\1" NUMBER="001" REGEXP
