Name as Folder?

(1/3) > >>

Ulfhednar:
Is it possible for me to run a script that would name files as their parent folder?  This would be a command I could allocate to a button ideally.
e.g.
\tortoise
file.avi

to

\tortoise
tortoise.avi

or (more tricky)

\Flowers
file01.jpg
file02.jpg

to

\Flowers
Flowers01.jpg
Flowers02.jpg

I can see that I would also need to run a numbering routine in this example unless I can exclude numerals somehow.

Jungle:
You can test the following code. But it doesn't check whether existing names have ending numerals.
Backup your files before testing and perform testing it in the temporary folder.


--- Code: ---Log( 1, 10, "Renaming files to %%parent_folder_name%%[_N].*" );

@var $src_path = GetSourcePath();
@var $arr = PathGetParts( $src_path );
@var $name = $arr[0];
@var $prefix = StrReplace( PathGetPathPart( $src_path, 1 ), $name, "" );

@var $n = StrRFind( $prefix, "\\" );

if ( $n > 0 )
{
  $prefix = StrSub( $prefix, $n + 1, StrLen( $prefix ) - $n - 1 );

  @var $i;
  @var $s;
  @var $file;
  @var $files;

  $arr = GetSourceSelectedPaths();

  for ( $i = 0; $i < arrayCount( $arr ); $i++ )
  {
    $file = $arr[$i];
    $s = PathGetFileExtPart( $file );
    $name = $prefix + "*" + $s;

    $files = FindFiles( $src_path + $name );
    $n = arrayCount( $files );

    if ( $n == 0 )
    {
      $s = "";
    }
    else
    {
      if ( $n == 1 )
      {
        $s = $files[0]; 
        RenameFile( $s, StrReplace( $name, "*", "_0" ), "RENAME_RO" );
      }

      $s = "_" + numtostr( $n );
    }           

    RenameFile( $file, StrReplace( $name, "*", $s ), "RENAME_RO" );
  }
}
else
{
  Log( 1, 10, "It seems parent folder is root. Renaming impossible." );
}
--- End code ---

Wow.. that was a nice script. +2 :) 

If something small is missing to make it more simple let me know.

Jungle:
However i have not tested this script with thousands of files, so i'm not sure about perfomance/resource consumption.

Ulfhednar:
Thanks Jungle for a nice script! :)
I see  it contains more functions than just getting & implanting the dir name. 
I like the numbering/counter for multiple files of the same type - especially as the numbering allows for pre-existing files of the same name.

The following is worth noting as it could cause issues:-
It isn't exclusive of folders, if I 'accidentally' click a sub-folder it will rename as parent dir also.
When I renamed a bunch of jpgs, it dropped the already present numbers & used it's own counter. 

I mention it as something a scripting wizard might consider, an advisory to anyone else trying this & as something I should try & figure out... 

For pre-existing numerals - how easy is it to exclude already present numbers?  (e.g. as with a regex)
Maybe I'd need a 2nd script...
Not saying you should write me one, just wondering as I want to play around with this but need some pointers.  ::) :P
-I must find time to learn this multi-scripting & this is an incentive!!

You have given me a good start to look more closely at the MC scripts & a great new functionality for my MC.   ;D
