Windows 10: How to batch rename multiple files while keeping the sorting order

Pretty hard to explain what I wish to do in a clear title...

Hello !

I'll explain with an example, files names will sound silly but I'm sumplifying the issue.

I have a folder called "test", in this folder I have 3 images (.jpg).
One image is the picture of the number "1" and is called "5.jpg"
A second image is the picture of the number "2" and is called "6.jpg"
A third image is the picture of the number "3" and is called "8.jpg"

In my folder I sort the files by name which means that I have, in order, the pictures of the "1" > the "2" > and the "3", named "5.jpg" > "6.jpg" > "8.jpg"

I wish to rename those files as follow :

- Picture of the "1" = "abc_00010"
- Picture of the "2" = "abc_00020"
- Picture of the "3" = "abc_00030"

Is there a way to do that with a simple command pront ?
Bascily I would need to have the command to keep the order the file is currently sorted in and apply names of each files in form "abc_X0"

X being 0001, 0002, 0003, ... 0013, 0014, 0015, ... 0125, 0126, 0127 ... 1454, 1455, 1456

Thanks by advance for your help !

How to rename multiple sorted files while ignoring file extensions


I have a problem with the batch rename feature in Windows 10. This is when you select multiple files, right click and select "rename" and then type in the new name into the first file's name field. This will make all selected files the name you typed in with an "(X)" after it. For example, a folder with the files "abc.txt", "123.txt" and "Null.txt" batch renamed "File" would become "File (1).txt", "File (2).txt" and "File (3).txt" respectively.

The problem that I am having is when you use this feature on files of different types. If the files in that same folder were "abc.jpg", "123.mp3" and "Null.txt" and I did the same rename, all files would be named the same thing like "File.jpg", "File.mp3" and "File.txt".

Is there any way to select all files in a folder of different types and batch rename them to all have "File (X)" instead of having duplicates?


The actual reason I want to do this is for my photos. I have folders of photos of both jpg and png types and I want to sort them by date and name them "Image" so that all files will be named "Image (X)" sorted by date. When I do this though, I have duplicate "Image (1)" etc. because of the multiple file extensions. Is there any way to fix this?

Renaming Multiple File Extensions With a Batch File

Hello,

Pretty self explanatory question, but not turning up the results I need. If I use a command line window to change a bunch of file types, I can do the following:

CD LocalDirectory\Is\Located\Here

REN *.jpg *.tif

This changes every file that has a JPG extension to a TIF. I'm trying to replicate the same thing, but do it in a batch file, but I keep throwing an error that says "The system cannot find the file specified." I'm not sure if the syntax has to be different
as a batch file as opposed to just typing it into Windows Command Line itself. Here is the code I have now:

Code:

title Image File Extension ChangeECHO Finding directory, please wait.CD LocalDirectory\Is\Located\HereECHO Renaming files, please wait.

ren *.jpg *.tif

pause

Thank you for the help!
