Serialize every two files with same number + another numbering digit

FROM: aaaa, bbbb, cccc, dddd; TO: 56_1, 56_2, 57_1, 57_2;

Hi all may be it is silly question but i really dont undestand.
I have many photo files like img001 img002 etc
I need switch their name to photo=56 photo=57 etc
I used two rules:
1. Serialize index start 56 and replace current name
2.Insert prefix photo=
And it great works.
But now i need to rename thousands of photo like this:
photo=56_1 photo=56_2 photo=57_1 photo=57_2
What should i do now?

Re: Serialize every two files with same number + another numbering digit

Hi and welcome!

Please use "better" subject lines, so others with related question (or: we our self) are able to find the solution or hint, thanks

Please try

FROM:
aaaa.JPG
bbbb.JPG
cccc.JPG
ddddd.JPG
eeeeee.JPG
ffffff.JPG
gggggg.JPG
hhhhh.JPG

TO:
Photo=56_1.JPG
Photo=56_2.JPG
Photo=57_1.JPG
Photo=57_2.JPG
Photo=58_1.JPG
Photo=58_2.JPG
Photo=59_1.JPG
Photo=59_2.JPG

USE ReNamer 5.60  (2011) or newer with this four rules:
1) Insert: Insert "Photo=" replacing current name (skip extension)
2) Serialize: Incremental from 56 step 1 repeat 2 as Suffix (skip extension) <repeat counter two times: 56,56,57,57,58,58,59....>
3) Insert: Insert "_" as Suffix (skip extension)
4) Serialize: Incremental from 1 step 1 repeat 1 (reset index every 2 files) as Suffix (skip extension) <reset counter every second file: 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,....>

HTH?

Don't use Explorer to drag&drop your files after selecting all, as Explorer has its own way of doing the selection order.

Use ReNamer to load files.
Or at least after drag&drop from Explorer, click on the "Name"-column header to sort your files first, before applying a rule.
