Multi Rename - name template - counter suggestion

#1 Post by Dreamer » 18.08.2008, 00:58

In XnView (image viewer) there is a nice option - "Create new template when opening file" - it works so that the name of the first file (or any other when double-click on item - also very nice feature!) is written to the name template field and the last number is replaced by counter - for example:

- items in the list:

file001
file004
file008
file010


- automaticaly on multi rename dialog is opened, (if "Create new template when opening file" option is enabled) name template field content is:

file### (in FC it would be file[c]) - counter start at is 1

- when double click on third file (file008)

file### (in FC it would be file[c]) - counter start at is 8

- results for the first case is:

file001
file002
file003
file004


It would be useful for example, when I have 10 files and I delete few, so I have just files 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 and I want to re-order them to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. This is very common operation, but it's not easy, or even impossible (in some cases) to achieve it.

I know I can type just "file[c]", but "file" can be long name with the special - and different text - for example exif date and time (and EXIF info might be removed, so it's not possible use it)...

It's the last 'big' feature I miss in Multi Rename (perhaps also internal quick viewer - but that was there already, but it was removed, still don't know why... :? - sorry, a bit OT).
