Renaming files issue

[Vlackho]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to rename a bunch of files in Windows 7 while ignoring the filetypes at the same time? In Windows XP this wasn't a problem, no matter what format the file had, the numbering would continue anyway. In Windows 7 the numbering starts over again when a file has a different filetype format.

For example:

WINDOWS XP:

file (1).jpg
file (2).mov
file (3).wma

WINDOWS 7:

file (1).jpg
file (1).mov
file (1).wma
file (2).jpg
file (2).mov
file (3).jpg
file (4).jpg

I want the numbering to continue in Windows 7... (NOT have multiple number ones or two's)

I always use a renaming utility like this one cause Windows 7 won't do that with it's native renaming utility:

Introduction - Bulk Rename Utility

I know that utility

Thanks for the reply...

I know Bulk and I already used it. It is a very good one I might add, however...

In Bulk, I cannot find the feature to first sort my files by date and then rename then.
I know I can sort them by "date modified" or "date created" but NOT the "original date"...

In Windows I could do that: sort them by date (original) and then rename them...

How could I solve this? (Or is it possible in Bulk?)

thanks in advance

PS: I already readed this thread on Bulk Forums: Bulk Rename Utility • View topic - Date Taken Original Not Showing Correct Value

This works in Bulk BUT ONLY for pictures!!! Video files taken with a camera does NOT show "date taken original" in Bulk

Fastone Image Viewer will solve all these problems

Although this is an old thread, thank you very much for the recommendation.

I'll take a look at it.

Cheers
