Multiple File Renaming
OK, hope this is the right forum, it is to do with pictures, amongst other things. I have a strange problem regarding renaming multiple files, mainly pictures as I have tons of them. Whenever I name all pictures in a folder, highlighting them all and renaming the first one, it renames the first 40 in groups of two, as follows:
Filename (1)
Filename (1)
Filename (2)
Filename (2)
Filename (3)
Filename (3)
...and so on until it gets to 20, then they're renamed properly.
They are all JPEGS. This method worked brilliantly in XP, why not 7?
Does anyone have any ideas at all around this, or even some software I can use to rename files?
Thanks for reading, and to those that do, thanks for trying
EDIT: Never mind. I just foud the problem. Some files were JPEGs and some were JPGs. 7 renames files according to file type. I converted them all to JPGs then renamed them again. Now they're all in the correct name order. I'm an idiot.
