A little project fro someone, who can write an app for Linux,.... (or Windows, if it can run using WINE on Linux)
Although "Irfanview" does a batch renumbering service.. it does not do what I want... so I am looking for someone who can help me.... ( Give you something to do, if you are stuck at home, and bored ! ! )
I take a lot of screenshots... and then process them... clip. recolour, etc.. and keep the original and renumber the processed one with the attached letter A or b or whatever.
Fine... until, ... you get another batch that start off with the same numbers as the first batch... i.e. screenshot 001
then to "save" them in the same folder means renaming the file(s) manually.
What I am looking for is a small app that will do the following...
enter the new file name starting at .... e.g. pic number 00001
increase the new file name by increments of 1 (or whatever number chosen)
rename the "selected" files accordingly, and save to a new folder... ( preset or make the folder location ) .
then an "execute" box to click on...
something like this....
**********************************************************************************************************************
Batch Re-namer
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Select Files : [______________________] ( acquire file(s)/folder location (Browse)
( would be useful if it were "drag and drop" )
New File name : [_______________________] ( enter the new file name) e.g. train pics
New File number start : [____________] (enter the new number e.g. 0001)
Increase by : [_______] ( enter the increment number .e.g. 1 .2 .3 etc
Save as : [____________] .png .jpg or whatever.( also default whatever the original was)
Save to (location) : [_____________] locate the "new folder" (Browse) or previously used folder
location on computer
Execute the above [GO] (click to execute ! )
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Bulk rename will do everything you want, and more. Its also free for personal use.

I don't know if it will run in Wine - but try it.

@wisty Thanks for the reply.....
Yes it seems to run in WINE .... but.... it is very complicated..
. and I don`t know where, or what, to put in so many, or few, boxes,
I am stumped..
Like I said... I just wanted a "simple" app... and... yes.. this may do the job, but I think I would need some "one to one" personal tutoring to be able to use it.

@wisty Hmm.... just had a go with it.... but... got a "serious error" notice and has to close....
so I don`t think it will run with WINE...( I have had the same notice with a couple of other progs that don`t run on WINE )
thanks anyway...

Update ! ! !
I found this page....
https://www.ostechnix.com/how-to-rename-multiple-files-at-once-in-linux/
Scrolled down it,... checking out each version, and not impressed.... then at the end it described Thunar .
Which... is just about perfect for what I want.
Apparently it is available in the repository of most Linux distos
install is different for different distros but command lines are there on the page...
here is a screen shot of the app,
You can change the format according to your requirements.... and when you click on "Rename Files"... the files appear in the original folder, with the new name ONLY... ( if set according to my pic above ) .. but you can also choose to keep the original file name with a "prefixed" new name/number.
It`s quick too! ! ! ! ..
so.. @dvorak Sorry... but you won`t be making a fortune out of me this time ! ! >..

If you don't already know.....
If you're using Nemo (default file manager on Cinnamon desktop environment) you can have it use Thunar's bulk renamer by adding Thunar to Nemo under Edit -> Preferences -> Behaviour
Restart Nemo and you'll be able to highlight files to want to rename, hit F2 (or right-click and select rename) and files will open in bulk renamer.

@TheRoadCrew Thank you for the emails.... and the input on here....
On the linky it gives this instructions...
Once it is installed, there is an ICON on the MENU list / and from there, can be sent to the Desktop if needed ! .
cheers
Thunar is available in the default repositories of most Linux distributions.
To install it on Arch-based systems, run:
$ sudo pacman -S thunar
On RHEL, CentOS:
$ sudo yum install thunar
On Fedora:
$ sudo dnf install thunar
On openSUSE:
$ sudo zypper install thunar
On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint:
$ sudo apt-get install thunar
Once installed, you can launch bulk rename utility from menu or from the application launcher. To launch it from Terminal, use the following command:
$ thunar -B

Or you could just install the pyrenamer program...

Please don't read anything I write.
There are many ways to skin a cat, its a good idea to have an awareness of more than one tool.
