Title: Renaming: adding a constant number
Post by: Aubrey on March 11, 2023, 04:01:09 PM
I had to reset camera and forgot to re initialize my file numbering.

I now have DS1_001.NEF, DS1_002.NEF etc.

I want to add 19556 to each file to have: DS1_19557.NEF, DS1_19558.NEF etc.

Just checking, but I don't think this is possible within IMatch...

Thanks,
Aubrey.

You can just add global sequence numbers. Set it to 19556.
Step1: DS1_
Step: Global Sequence Number

Did you try that? Should work if the sort order of your files is correct.

Else you would need some variable math to extract the number you have added, add another number, and form the file name that way.
