Is it possible with the software to rename all the files in a folder with the inverse numbering? They already all have the same name, and are numbered (01, 02, 03, etc.), but in the wrong order.

I have a book which someone scanned from the back to the front instead of the front to the back, and am wondering if I can do a batch rename where the numbering would become reversed?

Appreciate the help, and am quite glad I found the software; I have renamed far too many files manually.

Regards,
Philip E.

my post from last night was not stored.

So in short:
1) add your files in order 1,2,3
2) click at the header of the Filename column to sort descending 3,2,1
3) Remove 2 backwards starting at 1
4) Add '<Inc Nr:01>' at index 0 backwards

Delete origin numbering.
Add new numbering from last to first file.


FROM:
Name TEst 01.ext
Name TESt 02.ext
Name TEST 03.ext

TO:
Name TEST 01.ext
Name TESt 02.ext
Name TEst 03.ext



USE this steps:

Be sure to have a backup or at least work on copies of your real files.

0) While having your files loaded and in correct order:
Name TEst 01.ext
Name TESt 02.ext
Name TEST 03.ext

1) click at the column header to sort descending
Name TEST 03.ext
Name TESt 02.ext
Name TEst 01.ext

2) Remove 2 backwards starting at 1
Name TEST .ext
Name TESt .ext
Name TEst .ext

3) Add '<Inc Nr:01>' at index 0 backwards
Name TEST 01.ext
Name TESt 02.ext
Name TEst 03.ext

Review the New Filename column.
Start Batch
Done.
