Renaming files after folder names in a folder structure

kaja69 · 2014-10-02 07:14

I have 25.000 pictures/clips arranged in a folder/subfolder structure like:

Pictures
>2000-2009
>2010-2019
>>2014
>>>Holiday in France [where the files are]

I would like to rename all files after "folder name + serial number".

Can ReNamer do it with a smart setup from the top of the folder structure and through all folders and files?

You can do this with the help of :File_FolderName: meta tag, like so:

1) Delete: Delete from Position 1 until the End (skip extension)
2) Insert: Insert ":File_FolderName: " as Prefix (skip extension)
3) Serialize: Serialize Incremental from 1 step 1 repeat 1 (reset index if folder changes) as Suffix (skip extension)

Thanks! But can I make it run trough the entire folder structure?

Sure, just add the root folder to ReNamer and check new names.
