save a file with serial numbers following the last file name in the folder

Hi, 

I regularly scan images through a scanner to photoshop and I use them for different purposes

I want to create an action to automate the contrast adjustments and then to save the file to a folder 

My need is to save all the files in a particular folder and I have to make it everyday now and then 

The problem here is when i make it through actions it overwrites the old files 

|I want to make any one of three things 

 

1. When i'm importing a document from a scanner the file name should be generated with the current date and time like how cameras generate filename

Example :   "2020-01-27-10-09-20.extension" or "20200127100920.extension" like year-month-date-hours-minutes-seconds

 

2. When saving an untitled document it should save the file with file name as same format as above

 

3. when saving file the name should be a 4 digit serial number and the number should be the one which is next to the file name of last file in the folder

 

Example : 

If a folder contains a list of files with 4 digit serial number names

2401.jpg

2402.jpg

2403.jpg

2404.jpg

2405.jpg

2406.jpg

2407.jpg

2408.jpg

2409.jpg

2410.jpg

2411.jpg

2412.jpg

 

 

The next saved file should be saved with name "2413.jpg"

 

Please Suggest a way to automate this

And i have no clue about scripting

 

Thank You in advance.    🙂

My answer is similar to Grant's, however, I have highlighted key areas of the interface:

This is beyond an action, so something like Image Processor Pro and or Bridge would be the best approach without custom scripting (a script would likely need to read/write to a log file to keep track of the numbering, or perhaps work out the numbering from existing saved files).

Hi Daniel,

have you got Adobe Bridge? Batch renaming is a breeze using it, including adding the date created/modified and how you want the structure. So you can create an action for your adjustments and then batch rename using Bridge.

Hi Grant H.

 

I just asked a similar question elsewhere.

Can you please write up a list (in simple language and steps) to show everyone how to take

50 images or more and set them up for batch numbering such as YukonTrip1.jpg, YukonTrip2.jpg, YukonTSrip3.jpg, etc....

 

Thanks,

S.B.

Hi Stacey, as mentioned i would use a file management program for this like Bridge in my case. and the steps are really straight forward

Select the files you want renamed, then select tools, batch rename... this will pop up:

 

Select the criteria you wish..
