Hi

may i ask if could be added 2 features?

1) add a feature random numbers for multiple rename files

2) find duplicate files (images) by content

and maybe a powerfull change attribute (date compresed) like total commander it's only feature i miss :/(
thanks

This could be a possible way:

Have your files to rename separated in one folder, without any other files in between.
(Or select all your files to rename)

Best test this with duplicates of your real files, then

Step 1: Menu View > Sort By > Random Order
Step 2: Menu File > Rename Special > Batch Rename... <#001>
Step 3: click at [Preview] or the little blue i icon for some hints.


Do that work for you?
