Please add an "append" or skip all errors options to Rename Window (error 183)

Post by mike_bjb5wtkuwg »

Hello,

My process:
1. Search for all photos in a given folder and subfolders
2. Select all that match specific criteria (irrelevant what criteria for this issue)
3. Press Shift+F2 to open the "Rename" feature
4. Make changes in the "New Format" input field
5. Click OK

It may happen, that the folder in which the selected photos exist already has a photo with the target name. It was not an issue when I chose 10 photos, to begin with. But what if I work with 100k files? It can happen that there are 10k duplicates.
What I would like to suggest is to add an option to append a number at the end of each file being processed.

So if the app encounters error 183, I could just hit the "Skip all errors" or select a checkbox "Append a number at the end of duplicated file".

Right now the only solution to this is to hold ALT+C and hopefully, there aren't that many duplicates. Otherwise, I may end up holding the keys for a long time.

Thank you.

To continue to all, please hold down Shift and click continue.
This will skip all errors.



I will consider an option to skip all errors button and a checkbox to add a number to the end of the duplicated filename.

Thank you for the suggestions.
