Follow these easy steps to Rename Batch Files. Go to the folder having the files you want to rename. Select a file then either use Tab button to select other files or you can use the Shift key to select batch of files you wanted to rename. If you are renaming all the files in the folder, press Ctrl + A key to select all the files. If you’re renaming a bunch of files in the same folder and those files don’t need completely different names from one another, Windows provides an easier way to rename those files in batch. Start by selecting a bunch of files—you can hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple files at once, or Shift to select a range of files.
I have a problem with filenames. The stupid camera I am using resets the autonumber sequence every so often, and therefore I am getting tons of conflicts if I try and put lots of photos in a single file.I know there is a way to rename them all to something like the following:1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg. 2000.jpg, etc.Unfortunately, I am among the generation who never really used DOS much before Windows came out with all its fake gimmicks. I have tried finding an app to do this, but they are quite pathetic, so I want to just do it in either the Windows.cmd or just a plain.bat (that's where I found some decent control over files).
Can anyone help me out with the code? I've been loving the command line since the mid 80's but I have to admit this is one area where I always rely on I know you want DOS but I'll leave this one just in case someone stumbles through that hasn't heard of it.During times when I needed extreme control over individual files (usually in groups) I have used a spreadsheet to build the batch file. In this case I use DIR/B to collect file names into a text file, paste them into one column, build the renaming command in a final column (D in this case) then paste that column into a.BAT file and run it.
If your camera tags the photos with information (often EXIF tags), and your camera's clock is at least almost accurate, you could use any of the varied file renaming utilities to use that data to rename (and sort into folders, if you'd like) your photos by their timestamps.is a command line utility that can do the job, and is a GUI utility that will do the job as well. ReNamer is a general purpose renamer, it's not photo specific. Exiv2 is primarily a photo tag manipulation tool that also does renaming. This GUI app will do a sequential file re-naming 01,02,03 or 0102,0103,0104. It is very old, I could not find the authors site anymore.(156k zip 300k single executable portable app called renmfl.exe)I use it to rename many files for stringing in order. It will load sorted As selected, then put simple sequential numbering on the files loaded in (use CTRL A when selecting whole folder so all files to be in order). It will also start at a specific number.It is limited in length of all the file names (quantity of files at a time), due to the file loading method.

EtcIt only does one type of renaming, but for that type it does it well, it leaves extentions as is, I use a different program for that.' Superb batch renamer' which is about 10 times more complex, will do sequential numbering additions in the Append section, or random, or about anything else you can think of.(350k Zip 666k portable executable, E-mail ware)To set a sequentials in it, hit F2 to get into advanced mode, select x Append to turn it on, IN the append text entry box Right click, in there is an array of things you can append. One of them being Sorted number.
