One Rename To Rule Them All
Hello,
When using XnConvert to batch resize a set of files in a folder>subfolder>file situation, is it possible to batch rename the files, with a single naming/numbering convention, in a way that respects structural integrity?
If I use Filename Image ### - then Image 001, Image 002, and Image 003 may well appear in three different folders. Each file will have a discrete name but the folder>subfolder>file structure will be disregarded.
If I use Filename Image $$$ - then Image 001, Image 002, and Image 003 will be sequential within a particular folder but the names will not be discrete. The same names without differentiation will appear in every folder.
{Directory}# or {Filename Number} will produce discrete (albeit possibly long and unwieldy) names, but not a singular naming scheme.
I guess another approach would be to ask - is there a way to load source files in a folder>subfolder>file situation in a way that respects the folder structure?

Yep, I do have 'Keep Folder Structure' Selected.

Re: One Rename To Rule Them All
ok, thanks. So you would like that output folder are sorted before to process? (All Strart 1 files, All Strat 2 files, ..)?

Re: One Rename To Rule Them All
Yes, exactly. i have figured out that I can use the Krename program to rename and then Xnconvert to convert. I'm just a bit lazy and was hoping for a one program solution.xnview wrote:ok, thanks.

O.K. I right clicked on the sorting options bar, disabled all the options except for folder. Now the only options shown are name and folder and the program does exactly what I want it to.
Thank You Pierre! This is so cool. I've gone from loving this program to loving it a lot.
