Will this rename the actual files or is this similar to lightroom where the rename is localized to the program? I have about a terabyte of pictures from a number of years traveling and would like to have them named by date so I can work through them sequentially. Is it possible to do this in MacOs itself? I would like the rename to be done to the source files, rather than just local inside a program. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you for your help and work!
Recently updated bridge and now when I open the rename screen it no longer opens with the first text box ready to type. I have to navigate to that with my mouse. It's throwing my whole renaming workflow off. Any ideas on how to open the rename box so I can immediately rename the text of the photos I've selected. Thanks in advance, Web Guru!
Thanks for this, but what I need is a way to add sequence numbers BEFORE file names in Bridge. (I can do it with the Finder only.) I can't find anything about how to do that. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Thanks for your video confirming that Adobe Bridge still uses the same type of process to batch rename files as 10 years ago. It is THE BEST batch renaming program, and I was worried that with Adobe's changes to its programs, it may have ruined this.
Hello @Vincent. Yes you can, using the String Substitution feature inside Bridge. Check out this article: www.qreativbox.com/2012/04/11/a-simple-regex-rename-with-adobe-bridge/
Yes and no. For the example using time, there was a metadata option you really should have shown. I have a problem, Bridge isn't showing time with enough precision to show whether a series might have been a burst. I thing renaming might be a crude but effective workaround. I want the time of capture that's in the metadata, not the file creation time which can be very different.

Thank you. Very well done. Did not speak or click too fast to follow and repeated the process through three different scenarios. Much appreciated!
Maureen, I'm glad you like my tutorial. Thank you for the comment.
I am comming back for this nice video from time to time.
Clear and thorough. Thank you.
Worked great! Thanks so much!
You're welcome!

Actual file names will change.

Thanks! I have something work related, that this could help out automate one of the tedious file name tasks. I'll find out next week. Thank you.
Great, glad it will help, Volt.
From Bridge 2021 onwards, you get ACR files. This Rename feature does not seem to rename them. Is there a workaround?
Grasias. Clear and simple amigo. 🤩
could i later come back and add more files to that count? will bridge know that theres already a sequence and add to it?
thanks!
@Juan that might be tricky because the files have already been renamed. Bridge won't remember their old names.
Thanks for this, but what I need is a way to add sequence numbers BEFORE file names in Bridge. (I can do it with the Finder only.) I can't find anything about how to do that. Any suggestions? Thank you.
@A Cerbino You can do this in Bridge. The FIRST field needs to be set to Sequence Number.

Yes, I agree. Thanks for the comment.
Very good demo. Is it possible to extract a part of the original file name to form a new file name? Thanks.

@@WebGuru thanks. Are “calendar view” and “map view” available in Adobe Bridge”? Thanks again.
Good explanation. Thanks.
Richard, you're welcome, thank you for the comment.
Very helpful! Thank you very much for the course
Aminata, you're welcome.
Great demo - thanks!
Lisa, thank you and you're welcome :-)

Thank you Sir 🙏
do you know why bridge keeps on scrambling the order of my photos when I batch rename?
I'd like to know this too.
awesome, thank you!
You're welcome, Gretchen.
Thank you!
You're welcome, Oleah.
