copying files from subfolders into parent + renaming them
 

hi,

i have about 1200 folders each with jpg files named from 1.jpg to 15.jpg. The folders themself are named from 1 to 1200 as well. I have to move all the jpg files into one single directory. As they have all the same filenames, i'd need to rename them like <foldername>_<pic_name>.jpg .
They also could be just named from 1 to 500000 or whatever, i just need to keep them in order.

can you think of any solutions ?
thx for your help !

PS: No, theyre NOT porn pics !!!

PS2: I could use a Linux system to accomplish this as well.

Get www.autohotkey.com, which allows you to write scripts. Then use this script below.

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>


This script assuses all the 1200 folders are located in "C:\Pictures" if not move them to this folder or change the script.
Also, make a folder called " C:\AllMyPictures" or change script.



FolderNameVar=1
PicNameVar=1

Loop, 1200
{

Loop, 15
{
FileMove, C:\Pictures\%FolderNameVar%\%PicNameVar%.jpg, C:\AllMyPictures\%FolderNameVar%_%PicNameVar%.jpg
PicNameVar++
}

PicNameVar=1
FolderNameVar++

}

Return


</pre><hr />

Oh btw this is if you have exactly 1200 folders and 15 pics in each one, I didn't make it parse the directories to count. Does the pic count vary in each folder?
