[Sussex] Rename a list of files

[Angelo Servini]

Hi Geoff

Thanks for your reply.

I suppose Id better define the problem properly.  I am a bit of a Photo buff and use a Digital Camera to capture images.  As you know, once a list of images has been captured, it is usual to rip out the duff images (or images you simply do not want).  This leaves a list with missing numbers.

I also want to merge lists from two separate smartmedia cards, where the images always start with the same numbers.  These I would like to be merged into one list in one subdirectory, the first lot from img0001.jpg to img000n.jpg and the second lot starting at img000n+1.jpg, where n is the number of images in the first lot.

Most of the time, Im not really interested in naming each particular image, just that their in one particular folder named after the date-venue where the photo's were captured.  So the solution might actually be:

1.  Specify a mask to name the files.  Ie. img####.jpg  where #### represents the number to replace with a sequential integer.

2.  Specify a list of subdirectories containing images.

3.  Specify a target directory to contain the merged list of images.

I can then burn that to a CD.


What do you think?  What Im looking for are maybe examples, or even as you said, "what application / development solution do I use?"

BTW also thanks to akaDruid for your input.

Ta all
