Description Bj 2006-11-30 15:00:16 CET
i have some files that i need to number, but they are already numbered.
the problem is, that i can only number them counting up in thunar, however i would like to number them downwards.

i have:
file-001
file-002
file-003
...
file-100

what i want to do in thunar:
file-001-100
file-002-099
...

then remove characters:
file-100
file-099
...

but there is no option to chose numbering up- or downwards. such an option would be nice.

Add option to enumerate in ascending or descending order.

This patch for thunar-1.3.0 adds a combo box to the number-renamer which makes it possible to enumerate in ascending (e.g. 5 to 10) or descending order (10 to 5).

Isn't it better to allow sorting the column by clicking on the title? You can already dnd to reorder the list.
Comment 3 Harald Judt 2012-09-24 21:25:18 CEST
Yes, that would probably be a much better solution; It should give the same results without taking extra space and there'll be no need to update translations.

BTW: Didn't know about drag&drop, that's nice too. The bulk renamer is thunar's most powerful feature in my opinion.

exo-tree stopped my motivation to do this myself. Works fine, thanks.

I haven't touched exo for this ;-).
