Rename duplicate files with (2), (3), etc.

I sometimes have duplicate files that I want renamed to the same name but I want to keep both/all.
Ex: I rename files like these 031_002_07546777_06 031_002_07546777_29 031_002_07546777_85 The "_##" at the end varies and the beginning numbers are always the same "031_002_0." The number I keep is the one in the middle "7546777." So I use AR to remove the extra numbers, but when I have multiple of that file, I have to do it manually. Is there a way for the program to automatically add the default (2) to the end of the file name? |

That's perfect! So I checked out the tags. Seems that the one given in the image works best for me, but is there a way to input the number in parentheses? |

Actually it looks like that won't work. That will give the file a number in correlation to its number in the list of all the files I am renaming. I batch rename files so that won't work. The other option though, "append number" looks like it does the best job. Is there a way to remove the two 0's though? it will input "001," "002," etc. at the end. |

You can suppress the leading zeroes when you use the <Inc Nr> tag (Settings->Renaming) but not with the Collision option. You will have to run the files through ARen again to remove the 00. You can reload all the files automatically after renaming by changing the "Add Files" option from "None" to "All" in the Progress window. |
