Hello,
I have a program named "Filenamer" and another cool utility called "File
List" which allow batch file naming/renaming. Both offer serialization
options, but both only offer this in ascending order. I would like to rename
files that have already been serialized in ascending order to descending
order. For example:
Starting value: 13
Step value: -2
1.pdf > 13.pdf
2.pdf > 11.pdf
3.pdf > 09.pdf
4.pdf > 07.pdf
5.pdf > 05.pdf
6.pdf > 03.pdf
7.pdf > 01.pdf
The reason for wanting this is to be able to interleave a folder of
front-side page scans with a folder of back-side page scans. The back sides
are scanned last page first, so they would need to be renumbered thus.
Am I seeking the impossible?
Thanks,
Bill Planey
