so, off I go on my kludge trip through 3 different software packages! I'm through half of the 60,000 images already so its not too bad. I agree that this may be overkill - but this is what the client has requested. I'm going to file a Mantis for this as it appears to be a bug. I think what is happening is the program is building the rename incorrectly because of some issue with how the files are in memory or encountered on the disk. I'm not adding any additional images to this folder so I thought the program would be able to handle this. I have 600 images in a folder all with dates from a year ( through ). Thx again Tom - I guess I'm just not sure what the program is actually doing here because all the images I'm working on are in a single folder and all the Exif dates are correctly established. I've found that it's best not to let that happen.

(PFrank is an example of a free program that does nothing but renaming). There is software dedicated to nothing else but renaming. If you want to move the files back into a different folder structure afterwards, you could do that too. This should give you the results you want. Once you have all of your files imported into that folder structure, you can then do your renaming one folder at a time. This is a common practice and you should have trouble setting up PSU to do that. Depending on how many unique dates you have, it might be easiest to just create a separate subfolder for each unique date and then run your renaming template on one folder at a time.īasically, what I'm suggesting is that you use an import profile that creates a folder structure that puts files from separate dates into separate folders.

This would destroy any efficiencies you are trying to achieve. You'll need to manually determine what number to start on.

The other problem is, are you renaming every file from each date in the same session? If you rename some today and then receive some more images taken on the same date tomorrow and go to rename them, you'll have a challenge. You need to consider whether the number after the date is really necessary and if so, does it have to be a contiguous range starting from 000. If your images are coming from multiple sources it gets even trickier. I have found that using a sequentially numbering system is not necessarily the best way to do that. One, the names need to be unique, and two, I want to be able to sort by filename and end up with files in order of date taken. When I rename files, I only have two concerns. If I recall correctly, I was never able to get the 'reset' functionality to work consistently but I didn't try for long.
