Hi AllHi John. I just renamed a file with the characters you want. My file was from a D100 so it maybe a Canon thing.
I have am trying to batch rename some 1ds2 files in CS on a Mac. The files
start life being called _U3E5260.CR2 I want the first one to be renamed
shcr100e.raw and increase from there on. I have two questions
1. It will not allow me to rename them. It comes up with a box with dialogue
that I simply cannot work out no matter how much I drink....
"You must include at least one of the document name, serial number, or
serial letter choices so the destination name is different for different
input files".
2. If I (you !) solve the above, is there a way of keeping the last number
stored i.e. shcr123e.raw so that when I re-name the next batch it will
remember this and start the next file at shcr124e.raw ?
In the batch renaming dialogue in the File Browser once you've selected the images you want there are six boxes for entries. Put shcr in the first one,choose 3 digit number in the second box - to the right of the first box, then letter e in third box and finally choose an extension option in the fourth box. Starting serial number set to 100. When you come back just adjust the starting number for the next batch.
HTH. Patrick.
