How to rename jpg files in all folders within a main folder?












0














The jpgs files's name would be the same as the folder that contain them and if there is more than one, they would be renamed adding 1, 2, 3 and so on at the end..
Something like this:



folderA
folderA1.jpg
folderA2.jpg
folderB
folderB1.jpg
folderB2.jpg

  • You can do this in cmd with nested for statements: the outer with /d /r to scan the directories, and the inner to scan the files in each directory. You will need to use set /a in the inner loop to increment a variable initialised in the outer loop. Have you tried any of this?

    I suggest you read up on it. We are not a script-writing service: what we do is help with difficulties encountered when writing scripts, but we can't do that if you haven't made any attempt yourself. This is a good reference site with examples, though it's not intended for tuition..

  • Rather than CMD, I'd encourage you pick up PowerShell. If you need someone to write a script for you, check out Fiverr.com where you can get custom work for relatively cheap.

Seems like you're looking to do this without writing a script yourself? If you don't mind downloading and using a 3rd party tool, here are some options:





  • https://github.com/andrewning/sortphotos <- this is what I use, but there's a learning curve

  • https://www.advancedrenamer.com/

  • https://lifehacker.com/organize-your-photos-with-this-windows-app-1830383368
