[help] how can i copy filenames from one list to another ??

Post by asamirid »

hello everyone here..

i want to rename the second list "oranges" with the names of the first list "apples" but keep the original extension as it's

i need the results to be like
apple_apple_001.png
apple_apple_002.png
apple_apple_003.png

is there a way to copy filenames only from one list to another ??

or can the rename tool in everything do this job for me ??

hope to find a proper answer that help me.

thank you.

Please try the multi-file renamer:
  • In Everything, select multiple "orange" files.
  • Press F2.
  • Copy all the filenames from the Old Filenames edit box.
  • Close the multi-file renamer
  • Select multiple "apple" files.
  • Press F2.
  • Clear all the filenames in the New Filenames edit box.
  • Paste the filenames from the clipboard into the New Filenames edit box.
  • Click OK.

-or-

  • In Everything, select multiple "apple" files.
  • Press F2.
  • In New Format, replace "apple" with "orange"
  • Click OK.

thank you so much void, this method works best for me and it's so helpful.

"everything" has become a time saver and boring killer 2in1 👋🏼👋🏼..

wish you good day and good luck ✅✅
