Rename series without season number

I am trying to rename a series that is named in chronological order to a season order

Current File name
(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_026_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(E74BFE5A)
(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_027_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(18AC28C3)
(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_028_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(654FDB5E)
(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_029_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(AC9266E4)

desired file name
InuYasha s01e26
InuYasha s01e27
InuYasha s02e01
InuYasha s02e02

If this isn't possible, then I can mannually just count the episodes for that season and add those episodes, but will need to rename them in order that I place them into Renamer.  FOr example if I drag the following files into Renamer

(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_028_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(654FDB5E)
(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_029_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(AC9266E4)

I want it to count 028 as episode 01 and 029 as episode 02

Re: Rename series without season number

The easiest way to do this is to manually sort episodes into subfolders by their season number.

For example:

(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_026_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(E74BFE5A)  ->  \01\(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_026_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(E74BFE5A)
(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_027_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(18AC28C3)  ->  \01\(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_027_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(18AC28C3)
(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_028_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(654FDB5E)  ->  \02\(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_028_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(654FDB5E)
(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_029_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(AC9266E4)  ->  \02\(Hi10)_InuYasha_-_029_(DVD_480p)_(a-S)_(AC9266E4)

Then, ReNamer could easily rename the whole show in one go by using the parent folder name:

1) Insert: Insert "InuYasha" replacing current name (skip extension)
2) Insert: Insert " s:File_FolderName:e" as Suffix (skip extension)
3) Serialize: Incremental from 1 repeat 1 step 1 (reset index if folder changes) and pad to length 2 as Suffix (skip extension)

Note: You must sort the files in ReNamer by the "Path" column, and preferably using the natural sort selection (option in settings).

You can also move individual episodes back to the root folder, if you need to, by prefixing new names with "..\".
