Rename a JPG, a PSD and a CR2 file having the same filename to a new same-filename

[queuenal]

Hello,

The question is regarding my archives that I need to re-name.

Say within a folder I have:

IMG_4146.JPG

IMG_4147.JPG

IMG_4147.CR2

IMG_4147.PSD

IMG_4148.JPG

IMG_4149.JPG

I wish to rename the above as

IMG_4146.JPG  becomes 2000.JPG

IMG_4147.JPG  becomes 2001.JPG

IMG_4147.CR2  becomes 2001.CR2

IMG_4147.PSD  becomes 2001.PSD

IMG_4148.JPG  becomes 2002.JPG

IMG_4149.JPG  becomes 2003.JPG

and so on..

Basically, can I get Bridge to rename all files with the same filename but different extensions, to a new filename which is also the same. As of now I rename all the JPG files in a folder sequentially, and then manually change the filename of the CR2 and PSD files to match to the filename of their JPG versions.

Note that every JPG does not have a corresponding CR2 and PSD. Hence I cannot use the sequential filename feature to rename the CR2 and PSD files.

Hope I've been clear in explaining what I need. And many thanks in advance for any help

Select the documents you want to rename then open ExtendScript Toolkit (this gets installed with Photoshop) and paste the following code into a new window and run it.

#target bridge
var sels = app.document.selections;
for(var a in sels){
sels.spec.rename(sels.name.replace(/\d{4}/,sels.name.match(/(.{4})(\d{4})/)[2]-2146));
}

Thanks for the quick response Paul.

I did as you said, and it does rename the files, but to a new filename that it seems to have decided for itself / taken from somewhere.

Can you please let me know how and where do I input the number that I want the new file names to be?

Ah, I was in a bit of a rush this morning, the scipt should have decremented the number by 2146 in the filename.

This should do the same but remove the characters before the numbers giving a numeric filename only...

#target bridge
var sels = app.document.selections;
for(var a in sels){
sels.spec.rename(sels.name.replace(/\d{4}/,sels.name.match(/(.{4})(\d{4})/)[2]-2146).replace(/^.{4}/,''));
}
