Copy and rename files with list

fpinto · 2020-04-20 18:22

Hi Evryone,

I am new to Renamer and I can't seem to do what I need and I am hoping someone can help. I have 150 images that I need to be renamed. Each image needs to be renamed multiple ways. e.g. 1-1.jpg needs to be renamed to Filename.jpg, secondfilename,jpg, etc. I have a csv list of the original and new files but I can't figure out how to copy and rename. If it only renames then the file is no longer there for the second one on the list.

Any ideas?

Hi and welcome fpinto.

Can you please check the User Manual in the wiki (http://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer)

>>> http://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Rules:UserInput
>>> > This rule replaces the original filenames with the names taken from the list.

if that solves your issue?

If not we will look for another way.

Thanks for your answer. It's close. I need to rename the same file four different ways. I want to copy the file and rename it. If I just rename it, then the next item on the list fails because the existing file no longer exists.

Any other ideas?

Suggest first copy the files in different subfolders (each subfolder is meant for one specific renaming formula).
Then open each subfolder and rename all files using one formula.
Repeat for all subfolders, one by one.

As narayan has already suggested, you should just create as many copies of your files as you need, in different locations, and then rename each copy separately.

Also, ReNamer can import your files and new names from a CSV file. See the Export menu.
