How About Photoshop Incorporating a sequential numbering system for saving JPEG or other PS files

How about Photoshop incorporating a sequential numberinbg system?

I have lots of images when I go out to take pictures. It's a "real pain" to have to type in Fish1.jpg, fish2.jpg and so on. I'd like to see some kind on sequential numbering in PS so that I could save lots of time, rather than each time savwe the image by typing the next sequential number.

 

Is there such a thing in PS, and if not does anyone else think this is a good idea?

Hi

I use the rename feature in Adobe Bridge to add Fish_[date]_[sequential numbering].extension. There is a tab for each section and you can check at the bottom to confirm you have the sequence you expect. It does it on as many files as you have selected.

You can use Image Pocessor Pro for that task. IPP is mostly useful for batch after saving files although there is option to process open files. Under File Naming section use second/middle drop down list to incorporate sequence numbering in the name or type your custom text.

Take a look at this similar topic thread:

The easiest approaches are the batch rename feature of Adobe Bridge or if you have Lightroom look there.

 

If you wish to make an official feature request, you need to do so at the following separate forum and mark it as a feature request for voting:

P.S. There are some scripts available for creating sequentially numbered file saves, however, the devil is in the details.
