Batch Renaming with special numbering in subfolders

Post by Jasonsarea »

It would be great, if a "Batch Renaming" feature is included in XnView. Something similar to what I posted here:
http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=17611

Also, if you could include a feature where we could make a sort of a batch file that executes different preset commands; that will be really great.

Thanx!

Hey...
Thanks a lot for your help. However, my issue is that I want the numbering to restart in every sub-folder. I am sorry if I was vague in my post.
Thanx!

In the following example:

Project (Parent Directory)
|--- Test_A
|--- Test_B
|--- Test_C
|--- Test_D
\--- Test_E

Suppose all the sub-folders (Test_A through Test_E) have 10 files each. What I want to do is just select the parent directory (Project), and then give a renaming format (e.g. <Foldername>_##), so that the files inside the folder Test_A will be named like so:
Test_A_01
Test_A_02
Test_A_03
Test_A_04
Test_A_05.... Test_A_10

I tried the "Batch renaming" option. However this option does not reset the numbering in each sub-folder. It replaces the "##" in continuous format through all the sub-folders. I wanted the numbers to reset and start from 0/1 in every sub-folder.

This is what I get:
Test_B_11
Test_B_12
Test_B_13
Test_B_14
Test_B_15

This is what I want:
Test_B_01
Test_B_02
Test_B_03
Test_B_04
Test_B_05.... Test_B_10
