Copying names of exisiting files onto new files in same order

Hello! I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm not what terms to use to search for this. Simply put:

I have two folders of the same image files, one in JPEG and the other in TIFF.
I finished renaming the JPEG files.
Now I need to apply the same names to the TIFF files.

I figure I can sequence the TIFF files (1, 2, 3...) in the same order as the JPEG files first before applying any rules.
However, I don't know if such a rule exists on ReNamer.

Note: These folders were found separately, with the JPEG files already renamed once before. Hence I hadn't thought of applying the renaming rules on both JPEG and TIFF files at the same time in the same sequence.

I can clarify if the question isn't clear. Thank you!

Hi and welcome.

You will need an relationship between JPEG and TIFF files.

If you can do that,
as I understood out of "I can sequence the TIFF files (1, 2, 3...) in the same order as the JPEG files"
than you can try this workflow:

- have your JPEG in wanted order
- Export new names to clipboard
(https://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Export_menu)

Next
- have your TIFF in wanted order (and have a backup)
- utilize UserInput and paste in your export from above
(https://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Rules:UserInput)
- use Preview
- if fine, rename

Will that work for you?
