[PowerRename] Enumerate Enhancements

Open LightDestory opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The current implementation of file enumeration is very limited.

I would like to propose an improvement to the PowerRename utility to achieve functionality on par with the enumeration of the Bulk Rename Utility of the Linux XFCE environment.

Currently we have no control over enumeration. I would therefore propose the following features:

  • Allow an enumeration offset, rather than always starting with 1;
  • Implement multiple patterns such as: [1,2,3], [01,02,03] and [001,002,003];
  • Allow placement of the enumeration with respect to the text: before or after;

I would like to work on such improvements myself but, not having a deep knowledge of the technology stack used in PowerToys, I would need guidance to understand more quickly where to operate.

Scenario when this would be used?

It allows power users to perform more specific renaming tasks!

Supporting information

Bulk-Rename-XFCE4

This is the enumerate feature of the XFCE4's bulk rename.
