Perhaps this feature is already available, but I can't figure it out if it is. I'll explain it in an example, because it will make sense that way.

I have 50 folders pre-named 001, 002, 003, etc... When I add all these folders contents into renamer it builds my large list of files. I use the enumerator with the following options "Set%folder1%-%num%%ext%" that way my files will come out as "Set001-001.jpg, Set001-002.jpg" and so on until it gets to the next folder. When it gets to the next folder they look like "Set002-050.jpg, Set002-051.jpg" when I actually want the enumeration to start at the beginning for this folder (Set002-001.jpg).

Does that make sense? Please let me know if this feature is already possible, because I have mass amounts of images I need to rename (Over 50,000) and doing it folder by folder would take me weeks. If the feature isn't available perhaps its a good idea to add it in a future release? Thanks in advance.

I'm an ass... Sorry I just noticed that someone else requested the same thing.

The above post was me by the way.

To make myself feel less like an ass here is another idea involving numbering... When I add a list of numbered files this is what it looks like.

ASDF-2-001.jpg
ASDF-3-001.jpg
ASDF-4-001.jpg
ASDF-5-001.jpg
ASDF-6-001.jpg

Is it possible to change it list the files in the correct order?

For the first question, about resetting the "start" value when changing folder, you can try it with the current 'under development' version : ftp://ftp2.antp.be/antp/temp/AntRenamer208.zip
While adding a new functionnality for somebody else I also added this one.

For the second question, the sorting, actually my program does not detect the numbers in the strings. All program sort names this way, except few recent ones and Windows XP. I may add a "sort like XP" option, but I do not know yet how I'll do it.

Thanks for letting me download a prerelease.
