ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Slide Sorter Capability
« on: 2016-02-11 09:54:04 »
Hi, I have used Thumbplus for years and am currently on V8 SP1. One feature I use a lot is the 'slide sorter' or 'lightbox' capability offered in galleries and the great file auto renaming capability. However I have a requirement that can't be met (I assume) and am wondering whether V10 provides this....
I want to add a numeric (or alphabetic) prefix to the names of multiple files and have the prefix increment for each file. So, for example...
I have the following files...
myfile1.jpg
myfile2.jpg
myfile3.jpg
Then I sort to the following order (in a Thumbsplus Gallery)....
myfile3.jpg
myfile1.jpg
myfile2.jpg
Then I want to auto rename these to...
001myfile3.jpg
002myfile1.jpg
003myfile2.jpg
Of course, I need to do this to hundreds of images at a time otherwise I'd do it by hand!
There are plenty of free packages on Windows that allow you to add incremental numbers at the start of a filename but none (that I know of) that allow you to sort (as in Thumbplus Galleries) first.
