Can you help Stephen? :)

    OK, I believe that I have a workable scripted solution for you!

     

     

     

    If you press cancel, the standard Image Processor code will run, ignoring this "helper" window.

     

    I have only performed minimal testing, however, I haven't discovered any showstoppers!

     

    As this is a large script, I didn't want to try to paste the code directly, therefore, I have uploaded the code as a .txt file… After downloading, change it to .jsx rather than .txt (you might need to change your operating system to show hidden file extensions so as to avoid a possible double extension).

      There’s a lot going on there, the interface is designed for flexibility.

       

      Image Processor (and other legacy Adobe scripts) is a very long and complex script.

       

      Adding a fixed filename pattern is doable, however, I wouldn’t want to add a “Swiss army knife” renaming interface to Image Processor (even as a separate window).

       

      What are before/after examples of filenames?

      Example would be IMG_3732 before changing the name, adding a counter and then after filename-01, or filename-02. 
      In some cases would be adding a 6 digit date filename-01-051926.

      I’ll take a look, but can’t promise anything.

       

      In the meantime, I’d suggest a 2-step process, using the Batch Rename tool in Adobe Bridge.
