John, I'm sorry you didn't see my note posted twelve hours prior to your statements about using Bridge's string substitution. You seemed to see my much later note pretty quickly, however. As you can see, your note about Bridge on Aug 10, 2016, at 5:26 PM didn't ask any questions. My

Re: Lightroom renaming question

Your "precise instructions" hadn't arrived at my inbox when I asked whether Lightroom had a batch rename command, nor when I responded to Doug & Larry. I'm not suggesting Larry should use Bridge, I was asking whether an option available in Bridge is available in Lightroom. Apparently not. On

Re: Lightroom renaming question

If you're using Lightroom, you can't use a batch rename routine outside Lightroom unless you want to initiate a hell of a lot of clumsy and easy-to-mess-up cleanup work afterwards in Lightroom. I gave precise instructions for how Larry can rename his files as desired using Lightroom's

Re: Lightroom renaming question

In Bridge, the batch rename command allows string substitution. Larry could search for "20160806-LRC0" and replace it with "20160806-LRC1" and rename them all as a batch. He might have to append a 4 digit sequence number or it might keep the existing 4 digits remaining in the file name. I'm not

Re: Lightroom renaming question

Thank you for that link, Doug. I know about and use the file renaming dialogue, but that tutorial clarified a few things for me. Julianne Kost's video tutorials are a shining example of such tutorials done right. To the point, concise, very helpful. On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 12:12 PM, Doug Brewer

Re: Lightroom renaming question

Sorry if the video doesn't meet your needs, Larry, but it does address John's question, which is why I posted it. Addressing your original question, I'm thinking Jostein is on the right path. Select a test group, open the rename dialog, and then the edit dialog to see if you can put together

Looks like you want a renumbering within your existing scheme. Mark the files in library, hit F2, and specify the starting value for your numbering. Jostein Den 9. august 2016 09.16.31 CEST, skrev Larry Colen : >Lightroom is good at prepending a prefix, or appending a suffix

Lightroom renaming question

Lightroom is good at prepending a prefix, or appending a suffix to file names. Is there an easy way to change the prefix of a group of files, specifically 20160806-LRC1 through 20160806-LRC00066 to 20160806-LRC10001 through 20160806-LRC10066 ? -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox
