mmm I guess I'm a little slow today hehe...

something like this would probably work (pseudo-code):

cnt = 1
filename = "Picture " + cnt
while(file exist (filename))
        cnt ++

I would love to implement something like the default screenshot utility for OS X does when it names its pictures.. (i.e. Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3.. etc.)

I was wondering if there's already something in place to do that? If not, I don't mind implementing it myself but I can't really think of a simple way to do it? Counting the files in a directory is not really a reliable way to do it (i.e. if you have Picture 2 and Picture 3 in a directory, your count is 2... try naming your new picture Picture 3 and it overwrites the existing Picture 3 ...)

I'm fairly good with RegEx so it would be easy to parse filenames for numbers I guess but it seems a little overkill for such a trivial task... (especially since my app wouldn't use Regex for anything else so, I dont want to add a regex framework just for that)...

Any ideas would be appreciated?
