Adding Indexes (Counters) to Filenames in FileBrowser Pro for Mac
This guide explains how to use the bulk rename tool in FileBrowser Pro for Mac to add indexes or counters to filenames, helping you organise and sequence files quickly and consistently.
Simply select the files you want to rename and click the toolbar actions icon, then select "Rename (x)" from the menu.
Select the "Format" tab.
Indexes
Set Filename Format to Name and Index
Change the Format Mode to "Name and Index".
Use the Custom Format box to replace the current file names with a new one.:
Reorder Files Before Applying Indexes
The 'Reorder' dialog shows the numbering order for all files to be renamed. You can drag the files into a new ordering if you wish.
Add Sequential Counters to Filenames
Change the Format Mode to "Name and Counter".
The default counter is 5 digits, so: "00001" for example.
If you insert zeroes to the "Start Numbers At" value, this will change the number of leading zeroes.
Use the Custom Format box to replace the current file names with a new one.
