batch rename files by date - thaigirl - 2014-11-30


Hi!!

 


I did a tutorial somewhere which talked about using flower brackets { ... } to batch rename files. I can't find where I saw it.

 


I am trying to rename a sequence of PNG images with dates, for example:

 


pic export_00000.png


pic export_00001.png


pic export_00002.png


etc

 


to become


April_21.png


April_21.png


April_22.png


etc

 


Any help would be awesome :)
