Running "Fix Confilicting new names" from cmd?

Hi, first of all i have to say that ReNamer is and . I'm using it from Scheduled Tasks so it auto arranges my pictures when the computer has idle more then 30 mins. I'm almost happy with the result. But is there a way to run Fix Conflicting new names from the command promt?

The .bat file used is scripting "ReNamer.exe" /rename "MyRules" "C:\Folder" as sugested in the Help file.

The files are renames using :File_DateModified:
and then simply a long table with move e.g.

move 2009-04-16*.* ..\2009-04-16

What is it that you're asking for, exactly? I understand the "conflicting names" part, but how do you suggest this be changed? It seems to me that if there are conflicting names, that an actual person is needed to sort out the issues, generally speaking.

I also don't understand your "long table with move" statement... is that part of the BAT file, or are you doing that move operation within ReNamer? (If it's part of the batch file, you ~can~ build it into your ReNamer preset. An Insert rule with the Prefix ..\:File_DateModified:\ gets you most of the way to what you want.)

I'm sorry if I was a bit unclear.
The question was if it was possible to run the "Fix conflicting new names"-function that is situated in the Options menu, from command promt.

The only thing ReNamer should do is change the file name to the date instead. But since there are times when there are more then one picture per second some files collide.

Example two files taken on 2008-09-07 at 00.50.34 should get names as follows:

2008-09-07 00.50.34.jpg
2008-09-07 00.50.34_2.jpg

How about also using the "Serialize duplicates" script included with the program? Add a new PascalScript rule after that ":File_DateModified:" one, load that script, Ok your way out, click Preview and see if the output is what you're looking for. That should do the trick I guess, or it may require a little bit of tweaking...
