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 (named options, order-independent):
<counter> or
<counter:initial=1,step=1,padding=none,length=2,resetScope=global>
Bare <counter> uses those defaults. Omitted options keep the same 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).
