Add Counter

This function will add a number sequence to your filenames. The first file will get the initial number and then this number is increased for each file. You can drag files up and down in the listview to change the file order and thus the enumeration index for the file.

Position - Choose if you want the counter to be added first or last in your filenames.
Separator - The separator is a text string that is added in between the counter and the filename. If you for example enter -- the outcome would look something like this:

For better control of where to place the counter you can use the <Counter> tag in any function you want. Read more how to use format tags.

Counter Setup

This is where you decide what your counter should look like, either when using the "Add Counter" function above, or when using the <Counter> tag in another function.

Start Value - Select the initial value that the sequence will have. Usually 0 or 1.
- Running counter - If you enable this the start value will automatically be updated after each rename operation. The new value will be the number that would have been next in line if the counter had continued the renaming process. This is useful when e.g. handling large catalogs of files that you rename in different sessions.
- Reset each folder - The number sequence will restart from the "start value" each time the folder changes during a rename operation.
Step - Usually each number in the sequence is increased by 1, but this can be changed by modofying this value.
Zero Padding - It can often be useful to add zeros to the beginning of the numbers. For example this will make the numbers sort correctly when viewing in lists (such as Windows Explorer). The number you enter here is the number of digits you want the final numbers to have. For example 3 digits would result in "001", "010" and "100". Set zero padding to 0 if you don't want any zeros.
- Auto - This will cause the program to automatically add the necessary amount of zeros to the numbers. I recommend using this.
