Renaming multiple PNG and JPG files

Post by *Kamaleon »

Hello everyone.

I am a user zero experience and new using to TC. I would like to rename multiple .png and .jpg files into one folder, but I still don't understand how to do it.

Image: https://i.postimg.cc/KcsZ6jw5/Capture.png

I would like to rename the files like this:

picture_(number) to Picture_number without () the parentheses and listed with order from 00 to the last

I hope can help me, Thanks in advance!

If you need just remove "()":
1. select all files
2. open Multi-Rename Tool (CTRL+M) with default settings
3. type (or copy from here and paste)

Code: Select all

(|)
into "Search for:" field
press "Start"

Search for:

Code: Select all

(|)
(that is opening parenthesis, pipe character, closing parenthesis)
Replace with:

Code: Select all

<Clear>
(or empty)

I would like to remove the parentheses but also list the files correctly. I have duplicate files e.g.: picture_(2).jpg / picture_(2).png. I would like to rename my files sorted correctly. Thank you!

If you need re-number all files to exactly two-digits names it's more complicated:
Type

Code: Select all

Picture_0[C+1/2]
in "Rename mask: file name"
Type

Code: Select all

(\d)(\d)(\d)
In "Search For:"
and

Code: Select all

$2$3
in "Replace with"
RegEx checked!




EDIT

If you need full re-numbered names type

Code: Select all

Picture_[C]
in "Rename mask: file name"
set counter properties on right side of window.

Thanks this almost fixes my problem just for this (files numerated start with 1 digit but after 99 starts with 01):

Leave "Search"/"Replace" fields empty!
