Rename files in sequential order

original title: numbering of sequential files

After spending many hours of editing and sorting photos from a recent trip I want to bring to a treatment for printing shop in a local photo book. Unfortunately their software performs a sort on the date modified date taken so they are out of use. I well I could work around this by renaming the files with sequential numbers, so every selected and renamed and it have been renamed as follows
Europe (1)
Europe (2)...
... europe (10)...
.. .eourope (100)...

Unfortunately the software in machine shops treats these numbers as text rearranges so files (when they are sorted by name) as follows
Europe (1)
Europe (10)
Europe (100)
Europe (2)
Europe (20)
Europe (200), etc., in other words, they are still didn't stop.

Question: How can I rename files window "europe (001), europe (002)... europe (010)... etc (100) in europe?

Hello

I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

Select all photos by pressing keys CTRL + A , right click on the first picture and then select Rename

Type a name for the Group - space - .jpg (10001)

for example: group name (10001) .jpg

Press ENTER.

Windows should rename the remaining files as follows:

Group name (10001) .jpg
Group name (10002) .jpg
Group name (10003) .jpg

  • Finder Bug El Capitan - rename files

    Behavior: Rename a file in a Finder window, while the file is renamed, is always in peak mode (but now has a new name) click on the following to rename file. Finder changes the current selected file of this second return to the file you previously renamed (and moves it to the new position in the Finder window according to the sorting option).

    Expected: Rename a file in a Finder window, while the file is renamed is always climax with its new name mode, click on an adjacent to rename file. This file must be selected although Finder/Apple IOS runs in the background to rename the previously selected file and put it in its correct position in the window.  This should result is the way in which previous versions of OSX worked. He always behave this way IF you change the name of the file in a search window that results.

    As someone who renames the files frequently, this "jump" of the file highlighted is tedious and boring. I thought that it would have been fixed a long time ago when El Capitan is out - pretty sure I did mention to him at the time, too. As I am not a programmer, I can't access system to report bugs to Apple.

    Users which rename files quickly (where batch renaming is not applicable) should not experience the selection of active file exchange once they click on the next file to be renamed - the first file renamed should run in the background to reposition themselves in the Finder window.

    10.11.4 version (still has this glitch)

    If the files are sorted in the order of alpha this is normal behavior as far as I remember, unless the new name does not change the file command in the sort list. In addition, if you rename a file, then the file is more in highlight mode. You may need to try a renommeur files instead. This is feasible if you similar changes in each file as a sequence of numbers or changing one extension to the other as a photographer can. Or just use a sort column where the order will not change when you change the file name, size of the kind.

  • Press back twice to rename files?

    On my MacBook Pro (mid 2015 running 10.11.4) I have to press the return key twice when a file or folder is selected in the Finder in order to be able to change its name. The first time I press return has absolutely no effect or action. I think it is a particular behavior, I've not met in any of my other machines and I don't know how to change it. Any ideas?

    Hello, SonathD.

    It seems that you are having problems with your Finder not allowing you to rename a file or folder by using the return key after choosing, he. You are right in your expectations of the process of change of name, as shown in this Knowledge Base article:

    OS X El Capitan: rename files, folders, and disks

    You can change the default name of most of the files, folders and disks, including the internal hard drive (named Macintosh HD). If you change the name of your hard drive, it always appears with its original on a network name.

    Rename an item

    1. Select the item in a window in the Finder or on the desktop, press return. Or force click on the name of the element.

    2. Enter a new name.

      You can use numbers and most of the symbols. You cannot include a colon (:)) or start the name with a dot (.).) Some applications may not allow you to use a slash (/) in a file name.

    3. Press return.

    For further troubleshooting, you can test this behavior to another user to determine if your problem is specific to the user or the system-wide. This article provides a great tutorial on how to do:

    How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

    Before you try a different user account

    If you see unexpected behavior on your Mac to first try the following steps:

    Try to search the base knowledge of Apple for the specific symptom or an alert message you see. There could be more simple measures that you can take to solve the problem.

    Try to boot your Mac in Mode safe. Restart your computer. Hold the SHIFT key when you hear the startup sound. Release the SHIFT key when you see the Apple logo appears. Your Mac starts up in Safe Mode. Safe mode performs a check of your startup disk directory and removes data from the cache. Once your finished Mac commissioning, restart the Mac normally (without hold the SHIFT key) and see if the problem is resolved.

    Make sure your software is up-to-date. The question that you see can be addressed by installing the available updates.

    Check to see where the problem occurs. If a problem arises until you see your desktop, it is less likely that it is related to a setting or a user account. If a problem occurs with a Web site, see if the pages of other websites correctly first load. There could be a problem with the site and not your Mac.

    How to test with another user account

    You can find out if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

    Create a test user account

    1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. Click the users and groups in the System Preferences window.
    3. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
    4. Click on the button Add (+) below the list of users.
    5. Choose a type of user in the new pop-up menu.
    6. Give the user a name and first name, account name, and password.
    7. Click OK.
    8. Close the System Preferences window.

    If there are documents from your user account that you want to test with original, place a copy of these items in the shared folder in the users folder. Press the Option key while dragging a file in this folder to create a copy.

    Connect to the test user account

    Log out of your current user account by choosing logout in the Apple menu, and then open a session the new account that you created. If you are prompted to login with your iCloud or Apple ID account when you log in, skip this step.

    Try to reproduce the problem

    Try the same steps that caused the unexpected behavior to appear. For example, if you are unable to print, try printing from this user account. If you were unable to connect to the Internet, try to navigate on a website of this user account.

    If you use specific test settings depends on (for example using a specific e-mail account or an account iCloud) implemented the same test user account. For email and other parameters, you can use the Internet accounts pane in system preferences to set up these types of accounts. If your home folder files are necessary for tests, copy them into the shared folder in the users folder (/ Users/Shared). After you connect as a user test, copy these items to the same location in the test user home folder to test with.

    If a problem occurs in account only one user

    Is using the same steps in a user account test does not cause the same unexpected behavior, most likely you don't need to reinstall applications or OS X.

    • If a problem occurs only in a single application, check the documentation or Web site for instructions on troubleshooting specific preferences or the definition of the application files.
    • If you need help with a problem or a specific alert message, search the Apple support Web site for the text of the alert message you see.

    If a problem occurs in more than one user account

    If the same unexpected behavior occurs in more than one user account on your Mac, try checking for software or hardware problems.

    Once you have finished

    When you are finished testing, disconnect from the test account by choosing logout in the Apple menu. Then, connect to your original user account.

    You can Remove the account to test user created when you are finished. Make sure you're completely finished stable, and you don't need the files or settings you have created or copied there until you delete it.

    If you need assistance with a problem software or hardware, Please contact Apple technical support. If you are working with a consultant, engineering or service provider to resolve a problem, remember to mention all the steps you have already tried and the results. Also mention the alert messages that you saw in the context of the question. You can take a screenshot of all the messages that appear to refer to it later.

    Add to the face of each photo... the freeware FastStone

    IOW... If you had the following file names:

    123.Le jpg

    125 jpg

    FastStone could add 123, 124, 125... in the face of
    a photo of selected group in a batch.

  • Rename files in Lightroom 3 when importing (problems)

    I can trouble importing files into Lightroom name where I want to custom their name - sequentially. I import the data to a folder on my hard drive in the folder that contains all of my files in lightroom. I am able to import and rename files in folders with ease. Others said Lightroom 3 couldn't have their name. Why? If I try to import and rename in LR2 I have no problem. I'm basically a Nikon generated file, say DSC0001. NAVE and rename in Ireland 07-30 - 08.NEF. Lightroom 3 cannot do. Anyone know why? Thank you.

    I'm renaming all my during the import of the NAVE.

    Here's how:

    and it works very well.

    There is another problem with the import you might encounter. The actual files on the file system and records, he presents in the library do not correspond regarding the rental structure. Try to pass will result in an error message that the file cannot be moved because it is already there. If you run this as well, just let me know for a solution. Hope that Adobe fixes this annoying very quickly.

    Hi mate

    I assume you are using Win7. Right?

    Cannot rename files (programs) that appear in the Start Menu.

    You can ONLY rename folders.
    If you click on all programs, then you should also see some folders there.
    Right click on the folder and you should see the option rename.
    Choose this option and then you should be able to rename the folder

  • I have Vista, and in my records, I would like to see my records of first ranking in alphabetical order then the files in alphabetical order. I can't find how to do this.

    Folders in alphabetical order
    Files in alphabetical order

    When you are in an individual file, you can set to sort by alphabetical order first with folders and files then by simply clicking on the name header (you may need to click twice because the first time it can sort in reverse alphabetical order).  Then, it will stay like that (although if you add new files or folders, they can go down the bottom of the list, regardless of the name).

    Maybe if you reset your files it will help (although I don't know - that's really not why).  Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and click Reset Folders.  This will reset all records to their default state and since alphabetical is a defect it can work for this.  I can't test it myself because all my folders and files are already in alphabetical order.

    Good luck and I hope this works - but after back and let us know anyway. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

    Hello

    This a problem running.

    What happens is that when you select multiple files, you select one of the files and the mouse is moved, even slightly, when you release the mouse button, all the selected files will be copied to the same folder. You must be very careful not to move the mouse when you select files.

    Question.jpgFor the last 2 days I tried to use the bridge to rename my files. I did exactly the same way for a long time. Since yesterday, it renames them but converts the files into a sort of file I can't open or work with. Help, please. I'm desperate.

    Clearly, something was wrong with the file extensions.

    Perhaps, you can rename them again by not to rename file name, but by adding the correct extension.

    Is it possible to rename the files in LR CC to aid search and replace? For example, I would like to rename all selected photos by replacing the IMG_ by ABC_ string. It is such a basic need that I can't believe that LR does not support.

    LR filename + original number would almost be an acceptable substitute, but it fails if the file name is IMG_9999_HDR because Adobe assumes that the number of original file is always the last string in the name of the file and fails to find the number if is not at the end.
