XnView Software

Hi,
I do scan all my post with a brother multifax and xn-view (German version). I have to fill in the place, where the scan has to be placed and the name of the scan. This is very ok.
But the scans allways get a nummer from xn-view. For example "christmasletter". This sheed will get the number from xn-view "christmasletter0", or "christmasletter1", depending from the counter. Because I give always a new name, it is not nessesary, to have a counter. But I cannot switch the counter of. So I allways have to go the name of the scan and remove the number. Because I have many scans, it is very uncomfortable.
Is there a chance, to switch off the counter or could it be made?

Thanks a lot for your help. Please dont look to my bad english.

Nachtrag in Deutsch:
Es geht um das Problem, dass XN-View bei jedem Scan automatisch eine Nummerierung startet. Man kann die Nummer zwar auf "0" setzen, aber nicht ganz abstellen. Da ich keine Nummerierung brauche, muss ich jedesmal den entsprechenden Ordner öffnen und dann mit "umbenennen" die Zahl hinter meinem vorgegebenen Titel der Datei entfernen. Ich suche nach einer Möglichkeit, wie man die automatische Nummerierung unterdrücken kann.
Ich hoffe, es ist in Deutsch klarer geworden, worum es geht.

Currently not possible...

May I suggest a workaround ?

You just let XnView add "0" at the end of all the names you create, and you can suppress the final "0" from **all** the names of your files using "batch rename" on these files :

In the "batch rename" dialog,

- in the text box "name model" :use the model <filename>_XxXxX or any other string you are sure is not present in any file name you gave.
and
- in the box "replace" you ask to replace 0_XxXxX by an empty string, case sensitive or not .

By using this feature of XnView (double modification in one batch command), you have suppressed your trailing 0s or 1s, even though there's no "official" way of changing a substring only at the end of a string (as with $ in unix-like editors) .

Hope this helps...
