When I do a sequential renaming batch I get a problem. The original files are named untitled.jpg, untitled1.jpg, untitled2.jpg, etc. So the first one is not numbered. Now, I want to rename them to a name like image_001.jpg, image_002.jpg, image_003.jpg, etc. The problem is that when I run the regular sequential renaming the renamed file order is different from the original (seems random).
That doesnt address the problem. The issue is the randomness of the order of the renamed files, not the numbering. I need to keep the files in the same order as the original filenames, but the renaming reorders them. Let me try to clarify:
But Automator’s order of renaming shouldn’t change depending on the view. In both views the order is by name, but the outcome of the renaming is different depending on the view. As said, the list view gives the correct renaming, icon view doesn’t. Despite the fact that their ordering is identical.
