Hello, I'm a bit shocked that the simple "multiple rename & numbering" function known from XP and Vista is not implemented in DO. Now i have to open the Advanced Rename box and do some settings to have my selected files renamed and numbered? In windows explorer it was fast and easy... :frowning: A…

Hi nudel, Please bear with me as i try to explain - it's a bit complicated. I want to be select x number of files and then give them a new, uniform name and at the same time numbers from 1 to x. When the advanced rename dialog pops-up the name is preselected, just as in windows - i simply type th…

A couple examples. The first renames all selected files with a custom new name with sequential numbering in the middle of the new name (as indicated by the position of [#]), and forces all the files to have the .xmp file extension. The second screen shot uses regular expressions to do the same thi…

John, thanks for the suggestions, but that's not what i'm trying to do. Although it helped a little - with the "*" in the "old name" field now i can rename+number all of the files i have selected. To explain it a bit clearer what i need: i need to rename+number multiple files with minimum interacti…

Try this button ( see here if you don't know what to do with the code block): <?xml version="1.0"?> <button display="both" label_pos="right"> <label>Rename Explorer Style</label> <icon1>#duplicate</icon1> <function type="normal"> <instruction>Rename NUMBER=001 REGEXP PATTERN="^(.*)(\.[^.]+…

isn't that possible to add a "TYPE=dirs" after the Rename function ?

Thanks, Nudel, this is perfect for me ATM! It even has no pesky parentheses to annoy me... :laughing: Nevertheless, do you know if i can alter the factory presets in the advanced rename box? Is this possible? Or to remove them completely and do my own presets? jj

You can but I figured it was better to have it work (as well as possible without resorting to VBScript) on whatever was selected and let the user decide what to select. For other renames you can have a line for files and a line for dirs but in this case that doesn't work because there's no way to …

You can add or remove any of the non-bold presets in the rename dialog. You can't remove the three bold ones at the top (the Standard/Find & Replace/Reg Exp presets).

If anyone does want to resort to VBScript to make an even better solution for this, my existing script should make a good starting point: [image] Add a Unique Number while renaming pencilRename Presets See Also: Number Within Sub-Folders rename script Summary…

nudel, i came to the forum because i too was having a problem renaming files, and prefer the simple explorer style of doing it. I've installed your button and thanks for that, but i think this is a feature that should go into the next version of dopus. it is too complicated to rename a batch of f…
