Hi Antoine!
I hope I did not miss a feature already implemented ... if a file cannot be renamed because there is already a file with the new filename, it is not processed (the file is not renamed an an entry is generated in the log).
I suggest a variable (for example %duplicate%) which is empty when the new filename does not exist and is incremented by 1 when the new filename already exists.
This would be a great help if you rename pictures using the EXIF date/time function and you have pictures taken at the same time. Using this feature you would generate "Picture_2008-08-08_11-00-00.jpg" for the first picture taken at 11 o'clock and the second one would get "Picture_2008-08-08_11-00-00_1.jpg" and so on. Without this feature, you would have to find out the date/time value and rename the files manually.
Greetings, Christian
Options for files not processed because of duplicate names
Hi Christian,
This is an interesting idea.
Actually some operations like "use date & time" (but not the Exif one) have an option to append a suffix, but it would be better with a tag (as you suggested) allowing to place it anywhere, with eventually some extra text, e.g. (1) instead of just 1.
So I will add that on my to-do list. But unfortunately I cannot promise that it will be added soon, due to the already long list of interesting features to add
