Batch Processing: Renaming is reversed #770

Another thing to consider is the numbering itself. At the moment you can add ascending numbers to filenames starting with 1 This is ok when viewing files in File Explorer for example, But some systems of sorting files will order them like this... image_1 Giving the option to number files starting with 001 would prevent this from happening. image_001 |

Hello @hackersons! Thank you for starting this thread. I've just uploaded a new nightly build that addresses your observations with the batch process tool: https://photodemon.org/download/#nightly Leading zeroes are now automatically added to output files (when the "output as ascending number filenames" option is selected). Hopefully this ensures consistency in sort order. In addition, the second page of the batch processing tool - the "build your list of input files" page - now automatically sorts files when adding an entire folder of images at once. (There is also a new "sort list" button for manually sorting entries, if you've added files another way.) PhotoDemon processes image files in whatever order they appear in that "build your list of input files" page. The primary change here is that users now have tools to enforce logical sort order there, before the batch process starts. This combination of features should make it much easier to process numerical image files in a predictable way. Thank you again! |

This is fantastic! This change will improve the workflow when batch processing images ready for upload. The ability to set size constraints and rename/number files while also respecting the sort order is huge. You did it again, Thank you. A tip is on the way. :) |

When batch processing, renaming gets reversed.
Lets say I have a folder of images that have been sorted alphabetically or numerically.
If I add the entire folder of images to the batch processor and change the original filenames to 'ascending numbers', the images are then re-named in the list backwards.
Batch list Batch result
image_005 >> image_001
image_004 >> image_002
image_003 >> image_003
image_002 >> image_004
image_001 >> image_005
Would it be possible to change this or to have the option of reversing the order of the batch processing queue?
