Combining Folders and Batch Renaming the Files Inside All

[3ccentricity]

Hi,

I have manga/comic chapters separated into folders, ch. 1, ch. 2, etc.. Each chapter folder has images inside named 1,2,3, etc.. I want to combine all the images across all the chapter folders into 1 folder. This would be mean renaming the images in each chapter folder to follow on from the last. For instance if chapter 1 had 10 images each named in order (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), chapter 2's first image would start off at (11) instead of (1). Is there any way to batch rename them like this?

The result should be 1.jpg, 2.jpg .... 587.jpg?

You would just select all files in the ch. 2 dir and use the batch rename function with this pattern:
<#11> (if the new starting number would be 11)...

Could branch view the whole thing and do it in one go using <#1>.

Thankyou, that worked really well. It ordered them by folder sequence, allowing a batch rename and then moving all those images into a new singular folder.

Hi, I'm having a new renaming issue related to this post. I now want the batch rename to include the chapter number, so instead of 1.jpg, 2.jpg.. I want it to be Ch 1-1.jpg Ch 1-2.jpg.. Ch 2-1.jpg, Ch 2-2.jpg.. Is this possible?
