Rename images with multiple extensions?

simple · 2010-09-07 06:26

Hi,

i am new here and and trying to rename a bunch of images with different extension such as

ab7fjm.jpg
DSC1000039.JPG
IMG73810.jpeg
Image_Art-3(2008).png
Butterfly (CD Cover).PNG
....

with all sorts of alphanumerics, spaces and symbols like ()[]-_ and other which is possible to use as file name in windows...

I would like all of those to rename as

img_banner_<#####>.<ext>
...

<#####> - incremental numbers
<ext> - extension same as the original sources, unify cases with the same extension (either all upper case extensions or lower case extensions of the same type)

How should I do this?

If i understood you correct you want to do

FROM:
ab7fjm.jpg
DSC1000039.JPG
IMG73810.jpeg
Image_Art-3(2008).png
Butterfly (CD Cover).PNG
TO:
img_banner_00001.jpg
img_banner_00002.jpg
img_banner_00003.jpeg
img_banner_00004.png
img_banner_00005.png

Then use this three rules:
1) Replace: Replace using wildcards "*" with "img_banner_" (skip extension) to delete the original name
2) Serialize: Serialize Incremental from 1 step 1 and pad to length 5 as suffix (before extension) to add the <#####>
3) Case: (none of the above) (skip extension) Extension always lower case for the <ext> - extension part

HTH?

(((BTW an intern note: i think "Extension always upper case" is missing here at the case rule?!?)))

Thanks for the fast respond, Stefan.

The results are exactly what I am after.

P.S. With regards to the inter note, it is. Are you planning to have it added in the next release?.. Since some users might prefer upper case extensions only....

Also, I am curious, would it be possible to implement a feature that can swap filenames between files?

Great it works for you

Please note i'am not the author of this wonderful application, it's Denis.

Sounds difficult and error full.
Please open an new thread for that question.
But i think there is already such an thread in this forum with an solution too.
