Could you please implement a special index to avoid duplicates?
(I call it <unique> to explain how it works)

The user should be able to choose:
- if this index is made of numbers("0") or of characters("A") through an interpreter
- if this index appears even when there are no duplicate (with "!" character in front)
- and add any other character as required

Example 1: <unique[_00]> would mean that it is based on 2 numbers after a "_" and is shown only when necessary.

Code: Select all

Test1<unique[_00]>   => Test1
Test1<unique[_00]>   => Test1_02
Test2<unique[_00]>   => Test2

Example 2: <unique[!A]> would mean that it is based on 1 character and is always shown.

Code: Select all

Test1<unique[!A]>   => Test1A
Test1<unique[!A]>   => Test1B
Test2<unique[!A]>   => Test2A

It is extremely important when you rename images based on the EXIF Date&Hour to avoid duplicates with images in the same second (ie: bursts of frames).

Hello !

- This seems a good way, I support the request…
… though I've not often a lot of images to rename as one go, and we have a similar tool in Total Commander, supporting RegEx ( I don't use it a lot too

)

Kind regards, Cordialement,
