In Batch Rename, I want to keep the keep the current names for batched images (numbered sequences like 002, 003, 004), but add a descriptor to each such as JPG LG, so that I get the following:  002 JPG LG, 003 JPG LG, 004 JPG LG.  This worked for me for years but I accidently changed something and now can't get back to it.  How do I do this?

      Are you aware that Adobe Bridge has a very powerful renaming tool?

        for this message, please respond to jt smith.

        p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.

        When you post a question you always need to tell the Adobe program you are using
        There are MANY programs in a full subscription, plus other non-subscription programs
        Please post the exact name of the Adobe program you use so a Moderator may move this message to that forum
