Renaming Files and Folders Sequentiallly

    The Rename Sequentially... command can be used to rename multiple items with an increasing sequence of numbers. Each item in the list of files to rename will be given a name constructed as follows:

    1 Start with the base name specified in the Rename Sequentially dialog. If the first character of the base name specified is "*", the base name for each item consists of the original name followed by any additional characters in the Basename field.
    For example, if the Basename field contained "* from trip " and the original file name were "Image", the base name would be "Image from trip "
    2 A number based on the starting number and increment size is appended to the base name. The increment can be positive or negative.
    3 Any text in the "Append to each name" is appended.

Additional options

    Preserve extensions - If this option is used, any valid extension on the name is removed before performing the specified changes. The extension is then appended to the result. If the same extension is already present after the change, it is not appended. For example, if the change is to append ".jpg" to every name, and the name already has the ".jpg" extension, it will only appear once in the final name.
    The final option is to specify whether the changes should apply to files, folders, or both.
