Serialize: Alphanumeric

Currently serialize numbers numbers only. It should number both letters and numbers!

Example: Starting number h1y and increment 1 would create these names:
h1y
h1z
h2a
h2b
h2c
...

Example: Starting number Cz and increment 1 would create these names:
Cz
Da
Db
Dc
Dd
...

Why do I make this suggestion? Because it is extremely convenient and fast to use! There may be other ways to achieve the same with Renamer but they are very tedious. There are also other softwares like Nummerieren und Ändern but Renamer offers a different GUI approach that could be faster to use in some circumstances if letters were numbered, too.

Re: Serialize: Alphanumeric

Just as a clarification of precisely what I meant and apart from the usual distinction between name and dot file name extension:

A name consists of digits. Each digit is either a number-digit between 0 and 9 or a small-letter-digit between a and z or a big-letter-digit between A and Z.

Examples (increment 1):

Example 1:

myname0
myname1
myname2
myname3
myname4
myname5
myname6
myname7
myname8
myname9
mynamf0
mynamf1
...

Example2:

777888999a
777888999b
...
777888999z
777889000a
777889000b
...
777889000z
777889001a
777889001b
...

Example 3:

C0mP1zX
C0mP1zY
C0mP1zZ
C0mP2aA
...

It would be possible to use mixed-digits counting 0..9a..z or a..z0..9 or 0..9A..Z or..., but this is not what I need. It may, however, be a consideration to offer also such as options later because it is quite likely that other users might want to use such, too. But my suggestion above is the simplest and most useful, I think.
