Help with Image Renaming Rule Fri Oct 20, 2023 1:10 am • by Dan4VT
I am trying to run a rule to rename images automatically based on the last number of the image files in the sequence in a folder. The problem is that it treats separate file types differently and renames them in separate number sequences for each file type. In other words, rather than having a sequence of numbers regardless of image type, I have two separate sequences because the different file types (two different camera raw images - NEF and ARW).

For example, I want it to look like this:
FC23-Check-In-001.ARW
FC23-Check-In-002.NEF
FC23-Check-In-003.ARW
FC23-Check-In-004.ARW
FC23-Check-In-005.NEF

But what I get is:
FC23-Check-In-001.ARW
FC23-Check-In-001.NEF
FC23-Check-In-002.ARW
FC23-Check-In-002.NEF
FC23-Check-In-003.ARW

You can download the rule here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17nmo0TkaVBzACcEmURwjQKvihZQ6CNVN/view?usp=sharing

I believe you emailed in about this. In the future, please only post or email, not both.

As mentioned there, try setting your counter to be always ascending.
