Topic: I want to number files down form 10 to 1
Q: I have some files
a.txt
b.txt
c.txt
...
j.txt
Which i have prefixed with an number like
001a.txt
002b.txt
003c.txt
...
010j.txt
How can i number them "down"? Like the first file should have the highest number. i.e. 010a.txt, 009b.txt and 008c.txt
A: Use Ctr+B to choose your directory. Single click on it and choose OK
You can use the filter combo box to see only files you want to. (Here f.ex. ?.txt )
For the 'normal' ascending numbering you have done this?
EXAMPLE: a.txt
EXPRESSION: %n%f
RESULT: 001a.txt
EXPLANATION:
%n : the selection number (there is more, please read the help)
%f : the file name without the path but with extension
To "number down" just click on the column header "Current Name" to sort them in descending order.
Note:
%n represents the selecting order.
If you have select the files before, your numbering in the "Future Name" column is still in the wrong direction for you.
So just unselect the files (see the button in the toolbar or see the "Select"-menu)
and then click on "Select" again.
If you want only two digits 01, 02 ... instead of 001, 002...
then please take a look in the options (File menu > Options)
and there in the "Numbers" section.
Just decrease the "Size"-digit in the "Selection number" section from '3' to '2'.
