Renaming duplicate files

Post by *num1bryanp »

Hello,

I have ~160 folders with ~20K jpg's, and ~5k with duplicate names.

This has become a problem because I am in the process of sorting the pictures into new folders based on description.

I would like to search my folders, and append the windows style format for duplicates, or something close. See examples below.

With duplicates example:
Folder1 file:DLSR001.jpg
Folder2 file:DLSR001.jpg
Folder101 file:DLSR001.jpg
Folder141 file:DLSR001.jpg

Fixed example:
Folder1 file:DLSR001.jpg
Folder2 file:DLSR001(1).jpg
Folder101 file:DLSR001(2).jpg
Folder141 file:DLSR001(3).jpg

Thanks,
Bryan

1. Find all your jpg files.
2. Feed them to listbox
3. Create new dir somewhere
4. Select all files from step 2 and copy them to dir from step 3
5. In overwrite dialog choose More Options and choose "Auto-rename copied" or "Auto-rename target files"

or try MRT
It's impossible to lead us astray for we don't care even to choose the way.
