Serialize files excluding when only one in a folder

Thank you SOOOOO much!!!

I have one final question, sorry. Is it possible, that only numbers up to (let's say) 9 get resetted? Because when a folder ends with 2020 for example or 2008 it also resets these numbers. Thanks again.

You can workaround it by adding some special character at the end of the filename, for example "~", before the Serialize rule. This will make sure that your trailing years will remain unaffected by the script. Then, simply delete that special character in another rule, after the Pascal Script rule.

Great idea! I tried it with "~" to replace it with "." and then replace ".." with "." but it still shows ".." Also tried checking and unchecking "skip extension". Any idea?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You don't need to replace anything. You just need to add a marker before the Serialize rule is applied, and then remove it after the Pascal Script rule is applied.

1. Add marker
2. Serialize
3. Pascal Script
4. Remove marker

If you need further help, please provide examples of input and output filenames. You can use the Export menu options for this.

Ah! Now I understood what you meant with "remove marker". Will have to buy the pro version because I only can enter 5 rules. Will keep you posted. Thanks again!
