Batch rename misses a file?

[J3ff]

Using Window 7, with CC17 - everything seems up to date.

I am using Bridge's batch rename to rename mov clips. When I select all of the clips in the folder and perform a batch rename one clip is left off.  This happens repeatedly on multiple different folders of movs I've tried.  While I can easily rename the single missed file it is now out of order in the name's sequenial listing.  I have double and triple checked that all the files are selected when I perform the batch rename.

Any ideas or advice?

thanks,

Hi Jeff,

How many files do you select at a time? Does the image that doesn't get renamed every time is a duplicate file that already exists in the folder hierarchy?

It would be worth trying a preference reset. Check out this article for instructions. Troubleshoot Adobe Bridge for errors and freezes

Thanks,

Hi Akash,  I will try the preference reset.  Just to clarify I am using Bridge to rename movie clips .mp4 The clip(s) is not a duplicate file, I say plural because I have done this with multiple folders (different clips) and there is always one clip that doesn't get renamed.  There does not seem to be a common denominator either such as each clip that fails to get renamed is the first or last clip in the list - it seems random. But each time one clip gets left off.  To your question on how many files am I selecting at a time, no more than fifteen no less than seven.

Thanks for your suggestion.
