Hi All,
I'm looking for a utility that will auto rename files on the fly. For
example, I have a dozen folders with several hundred jpg image files in each
folder. I want to consolidate all of these files into one folder. However,
when I use Windows Explorer to move the files, it asks for confirmation if I
want to overwrite a file already in the folder with the same filename. The
problem is that even though many of the filenames in different folders are
the same, in most cases the files are actually different images that were
downloaded from the web. It seems that a lot of websites don't bother to
give their images a unique filename, but rather "1.jpg", "2.jpg", etc.
Ideally, the utility would move all files in each folder to the new folder,
while automatically renaming those files with the same filename. After
that, I can use a program like Dup Detector to eliminate the duplicate
images.
I thought of using Lupas Rename 2000 to rename every file in every folder,
so that when I moved them to one folder, there would be no duplicate
filenames.
Are there any file management utilities or graphics programs that would
solve the problem?
Thanx,
