Magic File Renamer Help


Counter

Serial number from the item’s position in the Rename List. Sort order affects numbering. The Counter filter is an alternative when you only need to prepend/append/replace with a number.

Signature: <counter> or named options, for example <counter:initial=1,step=1,padding=none,length=2,resetScope=global>

Bare <counter> uses those defaults.

Option Description
initial Start value for the first item (default 1).
step Increment per index; may be negative (default 1).
padding none (default), auto (width from list/folder scope), or fixed (pad to length).
length Digit width when padding=fixed (default 2; ignored when padding is none).
resetScope global (Rename List index) or perFolder (reset within each parent folder).
